Just to chime in real quick: There are no plans to shut down SWTOR any time soon.
This is all. And neither me or any of the other community managers will partake in any speculations, because someone said somewhere the game is shutting down.

Is it true EA will stop supporting swtor? I don't know what to believe since EA has shut down games without notice before. Please be honest. Been playing since pre order and let my script lapse because afraid you will shut us down. Even Champions Online and Star Trek online can be trusted. I understand business decisions, what cant support itself isn't worth it. Just give us the truth and some notice. Thanks.
I have moved your new post and merged with your previous post here
the only person posting at present in regards to swtor closing is you, and I haven't seen anything mentioned on reddit or the main swtor forums either and that is normally where i see the doom and gloom the world is ending posts.

Thank you very much. Defining "any time soon" would be helpful. Like I said I am afraid to reup my script and never see new plans for the game. Also, if I were running the SWTOR part of EA it would be a hard decision but economical one. I would hope they give us notice and not dump us all with a credit to any future games we might be interested in deal. I signed on last night and its a ghost town. If in fact there are no plans to "{sundown" it Marketing should kick there *$!$ in gear, Advertising as well, but if they are too busy working on other games then.... Let us know if you will guarantee its going to be around. Personally I don't like WoW but have been playing online games since dial up modems were a pain in the * to connect. thing with Blizzard is they are reliable. They invest in Marketing and advertising which doesn't always work if not done correctly. I hope swtor lasts a long time. Im just concerned because of what I have read.
@bunnydogg EA is publishing Sunsets here and is relatively transparent (compared with some other sunset announcements): https://www.ea.com/service-updates
SWTOR will receive a new expansion with 6.0: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=946806&highlight=6.0
Since there are no details known at this point it could be a while until the expansion will be released. And I guess the game will stick around for a while when there is a new content created. Why create new content when the intent is to end it? The 'shutdown of SWTOR' was a troll post spread this year on the first of April in the forum and on youtube. Dig a bit deeper 🙂
Thank you very much fore the link to site explaining why the stop supporting. That is a read to scare people away. Can EA please let us know how close to the 1% is approaching? J/K haha. That will kill the game. The game is a ghost town. Maybe/most likely new expansion or promotion would work. EA? wtf, its a killer product with a killer label, Fire who the hell fails to promote it. If you listen to your employees rather then your customers you will fail. Like I mentioned I followed you since the first DOS games. Why the hell does Blizzard do so well with WoW when that game seems to be put together by programmers that don't follow a consistent pattern? in other words WoW is inferior to SWTOR but has a ton of people playing all the time. Something is off with selling the appeal of SWTOR. All the time and effort invested in an iconic title. You should fix it. It needs a relaunch. EA might be afraid of the investment but EA has a tittle and a great game/potential if people knew about it. I am a big fan and hope it lasts but, its like playing a single player game now. Relaunch big. You did some advertising in the past, what was ROI (return on investment)? Was there a difference? If Not then hey maybe its time to jump but PLEASE Let us know. Thanks. P.S. I think your reputation of shutting down games without any kind of warning is what guides your future. Maybe make an announcement your doing console only if that makes sense. Best of luck.
