Sony Gives Star Wars Galaxies The Free Treatment, For A Month

By Joe Haygood | July 3, 2008

Last month, we had a story about Sony giving players that had left Everquest II, the opportunity to return for about a month for free.  Seems that this process may come about for all the MMORPG games that Sony Online Entertainment is handling as I just got an email today telling me my account for Star Wars Galaxies has been reactivated from June 28th to July 31th. 

Seems that there are a lot of changes that have happened in the universe since I left and that I need to experience, according to Sony.  Not sure what those changes could be as the last time I went back to Star Wars Galaxies, it was like a ghost town, with myself finding hardly anyone to quest with.  That said, it is always hard to turn down free, and my Twi’lek bounty hunter could use some action.
