Maybe not Spring 2011.

I'm not surprised but I am not a patient person. This may just kill me.

EA’s confirmed that BioWare’s Star Wars MMO, The Old Republic, won’t make the publisher’s next financial year, casting a previous “spring 2011″ release date into serious doubt.

I'm glad they're taking their time with it though. I don't think I could handle another disappointment of Warhammer Online proportions without therapy.

Just maked me a bit concerned for the game seeming dated by the time it actually hits. But if this extension means they really hammer out the PvP and more non single player elements, I'm all for it.

Hopefully ME3 comes out before then to help occupy my Bioware fix.

Not surprised at date being pushed back. I'm assuming it will release late 2011. Mass Effect 3 supposedly will be one year from now. Like, early 2011. But, maybe that's one reason SWTOR will get pushed a bit.

Don't want to trip on your own feet with that!

With their increased hype engine in the past 6 months, I assumed they were closer than they were letting on. I guess not.

Just keep yourself detached from the game, that's what I'm doing. ;D It'll come when it comes, and then the Revolution of Gaming and Life As We Know It will begin.

I hope EA learned their lesson from WAR(Big hope here) and won't be rushing Bioware to release.


I think they should also make the next star wars movie, completely CGI with the graphics engine used in Deceived

Doesn't bother me at all. I would rather they get all that Bioware technomancy into it, rather than half ass something salvageable. The point has been made that there are only a few companies who can effectively change release dates whenever they feel it necessary. There aren't many companies like this, but Bioware is certainly one of them. Even EA must recognize and bow to their judgement in such matters. I really want The Old Republic to be good, and I certainly hope my bounty hunter will be able to kill Jedi. There were several options available in the expanded universe, and I could think of several tactics that worked in the RPG, some less than others. Many of the items I would deem necessary are included in the cannon storylines now, especially the ysalimiri (little critters that create a null-force bubble around themselves out to a few feet radius) and the cortosis ore, which deflects a lot of the damage from lightsaber strikes.

Of course, weapons would play a big role, so I'll also need a wide array of slugthrowers, bombs, mines, grenades, nets, neurotoxins, etc. Sure, those lightsabers are dangerous at melee range or thrown, but it won't be so easy to close to melee range with me if they're dodging grenades and flechette rounds while trying not to step on any mines I've set. If the opportunity arises, I'd like to drop a building on them, or perhaps drop a building that they're in several thousand feet in the air. Spacing also works, unless you are John Shephard and have the attention of a Cerberus-level organization.

Wow, I've got a real anti-Jedi monkey on my back, wonder where that came from?






They had to tazer her AGAIN.

At this point in the MMO era, it seems only logical to make sure the game comes out completely polished and finished. You would think EA learned a HUGE lesson from WAR.
I will spend my time (and money) on games until then to keep me from the shakes!
