    FUUUUUUUUUUUUUU Bioware and LucasArts

    -edit- Shoulda been EA up there as well, but Bioware=EA

    So... preorder for Star Wars TOR is only available to Europeans and US... Looks like they will be IP blocking access from other regions as well.. -

    To all of our fans outside of North America and Europe:

    Today we've announced the pre-order details for the initial launch of Star Wars: The Old Republic, and as you may now know, we’ve taken the difficult but necessary decision to limit our initial launch supply for the game. BioWare and LucasArts are completely focused on building an exceptional game and an exceptional game service to go with it. We decided to constrain our launch capacity to ensure we deliver a great experience to every player.

    Part of the reason this decision was made was because of the overwhelming demand for The Old Republic, and we're humbled by that level of excitement and anticipation. We fully intend to deliver to you an amazing game when we expand our service post-launch, but right now we cannot commit to any timeframe for when that may happen. As soon as we have more information about additional launches in more territories, we’ll let you know.

    We are committed to delivering Star Wars: The Old Republic to BioWare and Star Wars fans around the world, and to growing a truly global community.


    100+ page threadnaught and it's only been up 1.5 hours.

    wow.... just... wow....

    i can see the reason why i spose, reduce server congestion, wait for the free time to expire level out the player field, but fuck me thats just a big middle finger to anyone outside US and Europe.

    And cop all the spoilers.

    about 10 pages in i did find thi tho.

    “@StevenCasta: @Rockjaw as an Aussie, will I be able to pre-order a physical copy from Amazon, get it shipped and get early access or will it not work? Thx”

    “@Rockjaw: @StevenCasta Yes, you should be able to do that.”


    AND


    “@Rockjaw: For those asking: any player of #SWTOR can choose to play on any server. No restrictions by country, but performance may be impacted.”
