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.

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.
