    Considering how long it's been in development and how many times the release window has been pushed, having only 3-5 months left is nothing imo~.

    Very good point. Bioware is very wary of getting into the MMO business, however really wants to, considering the mass amount of money in the available market. I'm very willing to wait a few more months. Below is a quote from the wiki site, to better emphasize how long its been in development.

    Release window has not been pushed at all... yet. It was always confirmed to be a 2011 release (fiscal year). This is still valid. Just "players" have assumed it might be 2010, early 2011, afterwards summer 2011, ... An official release date was not announced so far.

    Wow, thats interesting. Mind providing where this fact came from?



    Myself and several others have been following www.swtor.com and pc.ing.com since Octover 2008. I have seen threads and tweets of release by Stephen Reid twice now where the game's official date, was posponed. Trailers postponed, artwork delays, project delays.

    I will admit, several blog sites such as this one...http://hzero.wordpress.com/2011/02/04/stephen-reid-confirms-swtor-delay/ have documented and reported where release date threads were deleted, altered, locked, and new threads put up. (honestly, I dont care that much to make screen shots just to prove a company's trickery) This is the stem of much of the critisizm with the release date issues.... so if anyone were to just do a 5 min google search, they may believe the "original" release date is Q3/Q4 2011.

    Regardless. The game isnt playable yet. I, as have many others, have given up the excitement phase of awaiting the release. I'll play it when its ready. Till then... anyone who claims to know the release date, is just babble to me.
