Well fellow players, it's been a good run but it looks like the end of SWBFII on line is in sight. It has been announced that GLU Mobile, the company that took over Powered by GameSpy, is shutting it all down May 31.

This will most likely be the end of multiplayer SWBFII PS2 and PC. The PS2 is all but dead now and I don’t see how it would survive using LAN tunneling, too much work. There will probably be some die hard players on the PC version but I think most of us will wait for the new SWBF to be released in 2015.
So let's have one last stroll through the Arena shall we? I've put up a server with all the old settings and hope to keep it running till the lights go out.
