    p.s. Props to Bioware for a somewhat more accurate balance in Euro - Dollar sub pricing rather than treating them exactly the same.

    Why Movies/MMO have to launch on my Bday! :lol: well early access...

    Finally the date.. Closed Beta PLZ :D

  • DarkPonyDarkPony Member Posts: 5,566

    p.p.s. 1 month and 9 days to get bored with Skyrim before Swtor launches. Sounds just about right for my first dose of that game.

    Perfect time to play skyrim and bf3 upto that date:D

  • RazephonRazephon Member UncommonPosts: 628

    Ooh interesting this. I guess it SHOULD have been november, but with all the games and the 'beta feedback' It probably got pushed to Dec....

     

    Now...to pre-order or not to pre-order... (Unlike rabid fanbois, I won't pre-order until there is a release date).

    Currently waiting for the MMO industry to put out something good.
  • xZeRGzxZeRGz Member Posts: 118

    You know, I got an email from best buy last night advising that the release date had been changed to the 20th of Dec. I wonder if this was a slip of the tongue and it helped force EA / BW to acknowledge the truth?

  • BlasphimBlasphim Member UncommonPosts: 354

    Makes me curious what there is going to be complaints about now.....

  • VrikaVrika Member LegendaryPosts: 7,990

    It sounds like the game isn't nearly ready for release yet, but some big boss has decided that they must absolutely release it before christmas. Releasing only 2 days before christmas will give the Euro customer support only 2 days time to solve problems before they're heading to holidays.

    I was wondering that to.  It has no release date... it does now.  It doesn't have any pricing listed... it does now. I pretty much expected it to be 14.99 a month anyway.  Never understood why people kept bringing up pricing.  TOR has gone out of its way to not rock any boats so to speak.  So I highly doubted they would change the normal pricing model for P2P MMO's.

    In War - Victory.
    In Peace - Vigilance.
    In Death - Sacrifice.

    Very good news for a lot of people.  Should be interesting to see how it turns out on launch day.

    It will be the "it's not ready yet" chorus of disavproval that will be next on the billing. Those guys get booked for every major MMO release.
