The End of Line for Galaxy Online [Jul 29, 2011]
Dear Galaxy Online Player,
First of all, please allow us to show our gratitude for your continued
support for Galaxy Online! Since the Closed Beta test started in
February of 2009, Galaxy Online has been very popular with all manner
of players for its fun features. Nevertheless, the march of progress
continues, and with the success of Galaxy Online II, we will soon be
closing down Galaxy Online permanently. This includes all servers and
services offered for Galaxy Online.
The closing of the Galaxy Online and its servers will be done slowly,
starting on July 29th EDT (GMT-4).
We hope you will continue to support us by playing Galaxy Online II,
which is enjoying immense success on Facebook and in client-based
form. We are especially proud of the recent debut of the browser-based
version of Galaxy Online II ( http://galaxy.igg.com/index.php) which
just opened on June 22nd. We invite you to come give the sequel a
shot, and we think you'll be pleasantly surprised with the results.
The following details the schedule we will be using for the shutdown
of Galaxy Online.
1. At 5:00am EDT (GMT-4) on August 5th, we will remove all
functionality for activating Galaxy Online and purchasing Galaxy
Online Mall Points.
2. At 5:00am EDT (GMT-4) on August 25th, we will close all Galaxy
Online servers and the official forum permanently. At 5:00am EDT
(GMT-4) on September 26th, the related mail services, Live Support and
any other customer services will be closed.
3. At 5:00am EDT (GMT-4) on August 25th, we will release a new webpage
specifically for transferring Galaxy Online Mall Points into Galaxy
Online II. Each player will receive 100 additional Galaxy Online II
Mall Points when transferring Galaxy Online Mall Points into Galaxy
Online II.
4. At 5:00am EDT (GMT-4) on September 26th, we will close the page for
transferring Galaxy Online Mall Points into Galaxy Online II.
Note: On the Galaxy Online Mall Points exchange page, players will
also be able to sign up for Galaxy Online II and claim an exclusive
Newbie Pack.
As we prepare to say goodbye to Galaxy Online, we want to say thanks
to everyone who helped us pioneer one of the best space strategy games
ever developed. You all made the success of this game possible and we
will always appreciate it.
