Star Wars Old Republic Trailer

[Apps]

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.

Ok, got me. Seems like you have been following the forums more than I did. I never realized that there was a "spring" 2011 target date... just a 2011. Thanks for that. However, still do not see SWTOR as one of the games which have been shifted "frequently".

After re-reading my post, it does sound a bit snippy.

Actually, the original release date was Q1/Q2 2010. The game is a year late. But then again, Bioware has made it very very clear, they are intending to launch a flawless launch, no matter how long it takes. Lucasfilm is equally paired in that commitment... No doubt this is why its fan base is remaining as loyal, even before the game launches.

They currently have a targeted "release window" (their words, not mine) of Q4 of 2011. I know the date has been pushed numerous times, but based off of how much info and videos of gameplay they've been putting out at the various trade shows and cons I honestly think they'll make this window.

That 45 minute long video looks pretty f'ing polished to me.

Lots of the information shared so far and especially on the E3 are looking "polished" (apart maybe from the AI of NPCs... however it was mentioned that this is adjusted for the moment to allow player to experience more content).

I'm also actually quite positive on multiboxing the game. For sure not all the information are available yet (as the final EULA, as I've learned also the possibility to start different instances at once)... however it seems like we will have a follow-command, the chance to define key-shortcuts (even to control the companions), etc. So I'm crossing my fingers on both, the release date and option to box it ("Dungeons" with 2 Accounts and 2 Companions... sounds very challenging and interesting to me.

Groups are only 4 people, so that should be easier on the wallet

Though, if raiding only requires 8 people...

... the small raids, there will be also larger raids in game, just not announced / decided how many players can team up for that.

Yeah it's slightly old, but I just saw this.

Damn that mouse looks cool!

I'm looking forward to this game, but I am definitely keeping the hype in perspective especially considering recent reviews of game play from E3. I'm pretty much of the mindset of "expect the worst, hope for the best" as it is, at it's core, another hotkey mmo.

Still haven't decided Jedi or Sith though
