Every other WoW player will buy this game. I have loved bioware since baldurs gate and I am excited to play a game that might let me roleplay without being Lol'd at. Only problem i see is that a lot of awesome MMO's will be out before then. But when its ready, its ready.
So the destruction of everything in 2012 will be caused by the Sith?
I can live with that
I heard it was because Duke Nuk'em forever actually releases.
Still, this is no real news since there isn't anything that changes Spring 2011 in it. May 2011 is still spring. Of course it wouldn't surprise me if the date got moved back a few months, MMOs can be moved back years sometimes and this is a huge game.
It's funny, if a less popular game - like Jumpgate: Evolution - gets pushed back, it gets ripped to shreds by the 'fans'. Shame some people can't just take things as they come and form an opinion on a game after release.
Like most people here I think delays are usually a good sign, not 'bad planning' or whatever other cliche crap some people like to suggest.
Good luck to SWTOR.

So basically its not being released in early 2011 . I bet many of us did'nt expect it to be out before the summer . My bets are on a release in the latter part of the year .
@Proson ; what a stupid thing to say , fair enough you don't want to play it but other than that only an idiot would call it dumbed down or instanced when theres very little information to go by at present as to what the game will be like .

They haven't pushed anything back, Sean (PR guy on TOR forums) came out a few months ago saying target date was spring 2011. Which means from March 21 - June 20.
So basically all this announcement did was cut the timeframe down to April 1 - June 20.
The seasons are all topsy-turvy in the Northern Hemisphere anyways. Sping 2011 here is anywhere from Sept-Nov - so a release earlier than that would be fantastic.
I agree with the "It's ready when it's ready" philosophy...
Just finished reading a thread on the STO Oboards where their marketing guy is saying it's ok to release an unfinished game because 'everybody's doing it'. That's unacceptable to me (and many others I'm guessing). MMO releases are in a sorry state right now.
We all know what happens when a MMO is rushed.
I say, push'r'back if it's not done.
Good on EA BioWare. Push it back. Get it FINISHED. Set the bar.

There is a guy that I know that revealed to me he was in Beta and while he wouldn't go into any details about gameplay (NDA), he did mention that he would be shocked if the game released by it's spring 2011 date. He stated that he couldn't see it being ready any earlier than the end of 2011, if at all and was of the mind that 2012 was a more realistic time frame. I first thought he was BSing me about the whole beta thing, but maybe he wasn't BSing after all.
I'm really really unsure about this game, and I think the MMO community is equating "pushing game back" to "a good MMORPG"... which simply isn't true. The box sales on this game are going to be through the roof with as much hype it has. However, I think i'm going to finally sit this one out, and see how it does on the market first. After being burned for the past decade on MMO flops, I should know better by now...
My friend still bet me that i'll buy the game on the day of release or at the very least the first week of release... We shall see. I just hope i'm wrong and finally get to see a good MMO that I enjoy.
Cracks me up. Fiscal Year 2011 which starts in October 2010. Why not just say Calendar year 2010 and be done with it. Anything after October 1st 2010 is FY 2011.

/facepalm
A company can start their fiscal year at any point in time they wish, for EA it's April 1st.
I don't know where you are getting October 1st from as your date, since most people would say July 1st since that is when the US government starts theirs.
theres still something from bioware that states spring 2011 as the target date. if 2011 fiscal year ends in march that still gives us 2 months time frame As for when the tv series launches, they still havent started casting let alone finalized any scripts which is when lucas has said he will start ramping up production.
they have already begun shooting, as part of it was shot in australia already. As per someone i know in the film industry

now this is funny...considering a) they aren't using the "alpha" or "beta" terms for testing, and testing outside of devs haven't started yet....so yes he was BSing

Not much of a surprise
Currently playing: N/A
Retired from: GW, WAR, Aion, LOTRO, Rift, SW:TOR, Vinductus
Its BioWare, they like delays ^^ But personally did not expect it to come out anywhere before summer 2011 so not a shocking news to me.
meh, care. Not gonna be playing this instanced dumbed downed so-called MMO.
Currently Playing Path of Exile
We just saw the report how Arenanet is planning to use dynamic public quest missions. We at Bioware want that too. So we are pushing the game back.

yay for more info
so...
Oh great now i get to end KOTOR again while i wait .
What the hell is wrong with people? This isn't a delay.
I lol'd
If they release it in 2012 then they announced the game way too early. I can't see it coming any later than Summer 2011.
Agreed.

Your fail comment, failed.
If it's for the good reasons, thank you for aiming at releasing a completed game
