Interesting choice to close it down considering their own words a few years ago. Galaxies would be a much better Free to play game then death. What has happened between now and then?

Galaxies is a better MMO than TOR. Just due to its old school Star Wars vibe. Everyone loves that time period in Star Wars and that is something TOR can't even touch.
