I really hope the game play lives up to the hype. This is one I've been looking forward to.

I am looking forward to it quite a bit. I admit I don't play many other games than WOW in the RPG genre, but I would like to try different things (voice acting, choices you make in quests make a difference, and flying combat as a distraction---instead of arena as a distraction). I am already worried that Blizzard will screw up Diablo 3 trying to put in rules for its arena that messes with the solo or group PVE play.

I'll probably give it a try, not reall a big Star Wars fan but not much else to keep me busy. Haven't played Rift in a while, slowly leveling a lowbie team in WoW. Mostly been spending my time lately on Star Trek Online which wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.

40+ minutes of gameplay. Provided that there is in-game follow this looks totally boxable.

Sucks that we gotta wait that long. Now would be a good timing to have a new game.

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.

The Old Republic marks BioWare's first entry into the MMORPG market,[27] and it will be the second Star Wars MMORPG after Star Wars Galaxies. BioWare had long been interested in working on a MMORPG, but waited until they had "the right partners, the right team, and the right I.P."[8] A major focus in the game is on developing characters' individual stories[27] and, in October 2008, BioWare considered this game to have more story content than all of their other games combined.[8] The writing team has been working on the project longer than any of the game's other development teams.[44] An October 2008 preview noted some of the 12 full-time writers had been working on The Old Republic for more than two years at that point.[8]

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.
