Sony Online Entertainment has announced that they will be shutting down 12 servers on October 15th, as a result of the overwhelming success of the recent Free Character Transfer Service that has left certain servers with significantly low population, crowding other servers in the same time.
All players from these 12 servers will have the option of a one-way transfer to one of the 13 remaining servers.
