SOE shuttering Vanguard, Clone Wars, Free Realms & Wizardry

[Talolan]

SOE is closing down four of its MMOs. Star Wars: Clone Wars Adventures and Free Realms will close on March 31st. Vanguard and Wizardry Online will bow out on July 31st.

"At Sony Online Entertainment, we are always evaluating our portfolio to ensure we're providing players with the best gameplay experiences," the company said via press release. "At times, as part of this commitment, we have to make the difficult decision to sunset a game so we can refocus our resources on other areas in the best interest of our company and player community."

Wizardry is barely a year old.

Looking around that site, it appears there are a couple of Star Wars games coming out soon, and SOE has said they don't want to pay more licensing fees.
It may only mean SOE's license came up for renewal and they decided against it.

Hopefully they're re-directing their efforts to make EQNEXT totally amazing.
