Gamecore, CBSNews.com's video game section devoted their mailbag this week to the plight of the Star Wars Galaxies' gamer. The death of the old Galaxies community is being covered pretty heavily as are the changes being made to Galaxies.

GameSpot's interview with John Smedley from SOE illuminates that Galaxies' developers are aiming to compete with Blizzard's titan, World of Warcraft. I'm just not convinced that killing the core of your subscribers was the way to fight that battle.
