IS this game staying around for much longer

[JCLpirate]

i used to play this game everyday but im getting woried that the game will be shut down soon like swg

[Raansu]

I don't think its going to shut down anytime soon, just don't expect any meaningful updates.

It's Free to Play, enjoy it while you can. It will be here for a few more years yet.

[FlatoutEarth]

the devs have just announced the release of v7.5, which will be released next wednesday, so they wont shut down anytime soon

Even if this game does not get new content it will remain around. Broadsword is known for keeping games on life support even without no new content.

It's very likely whatever storyline is left in the pipeline is coming down in a trickle now, but it will dry up. The developers who transferred to BSO from EA are probably just making sure to finish it off at their own pace and then when it's done, transfer back to EA and leave it on life support.

if this next storyline mission in a few days has a sense of finality to it, then the next one is likely at the end of the year and it's likely to be the last, but if it isn't? then this could continue to trickle to the later half of next year where it will end. Either way the writing is on the wall.

It'll only be around for maybe another 10 years at most, it's basically already dead.

10 years is beyond wishful thinking.

Well, maybe you should stop taking stupid pills and your thinking would not be hindered to such an extent. Dark Age of Camelot has been around since 2001 and it's not nearly as profitable as SWTOR.

Just FYI, you can still play Star Wars Galaxies. Servers exist outside the official ones.

That really doesn't mean much. There's been a bunch of games that have announced content or published roadmaps only to announce a sunset date literally a week later.

Are we ever gonna hit 8.0 is the real question

Seems unlikely this year unless they make a surprise announcement.

It speaks volumes for a game that was supposed to be dead 5-10 years ago. Just ask Xautos, the writing has been on the wall every year.

People were spelling doom for this game even before it launched. Then there was the year of the TORtanic, and then ESO would be the nail in the coffin. This zombie isn't done eating brains yet.
