The biggest question of all still remains. "When?" NO ONE has a release date, does it matter at this point? Will the release date determine if the pre-order is worth it? What if they announced the release date later today: Release Date: August 14th..... 2012

Originally posted by yodablaze While there has not been a specific date announced yet, they have announced that the release window is now "Holiday 2011" in the press release regarding beta weekends. That makes it pretty safe to assume November - December. |

Knowing how these Star Wars fanatics are, I wouldn't be surprised if they released it on May the Fourth, 2012.
But since the pre-order codes apparently expire on Dec. 31 this year, I'd guess it'll be released before then. |

Originally posted by Celcius I'm going with november because of the beta weekend in september which is basically a sneak preview weekend would be slightly before the actual games release. Least if it works anything like the movies do. |

Your Reciept, is only the date as a placeholder and nothing more. It would be wrong to release a gameon new years eve. |

Originally posted by silentkillah Oh i in no way expect it to come out that late in 2012, i'd be pretty surprised if it missed 2011 the way it's going. Though anything is possible but it seems they are hitting for end of this year (holiday session) because of the beta weekend (which is a sneakpeak for some) and the above with the holiday thing |

When does SWG shut down? December 15th? I wouldn't be surprised if the next Star Wars MMO was planned to come online shortly there after, like within a few days or weeks following. "This is life! We suffer and slave and expire. That's it!" -Bernard Black (Dylan Moran) |

Originally posted by Lawlmonster A publisher like EA would want to capitalize on holiday sales. I think they'll target after 11/11 (after Skyrim) but before the end of Nov. |

Because of the announced "Open Beta" weekends in September, which is nothing but stress testing and promotional events (as per the history of MMO development) my vote is on a early to mid October release.
You don't want to tease with open beta events then make people wait another two months.
They'll do what Trion did.
Beta weekends in September, few weeks off, release early/mid October.
EA wouldn't want both BF3 and TOR released in the same month, especially due to competition with Skyrim in November as well. MMO History: |

From what I've read elsewhere, the date to be announced at SDCC is November 25. Anyhow, we'll know for sure this weekend. |

Originally posted by Rinna Longest 4 months ever... Late November sounds right. Right after Skyrim's launch and right before the holiday rush. |

What if the release date was pushed to 2012? Would you still pre-order? Does the release date even matter or are the pre-orders done on safe assumptions? We know how mmos can be delayed and pushed back. What if they release a release date knowing in advance that they will only push the game back into first quarter 2012? I mean it could happen. I'm still looking for a definite date AND a sense of confidence they will meet their mark. |

Originally posted by yodablaze That's not going to happen my pre order receipt says holiday 2011. I think were locked in to October-December somewhere in there. Not only that there is this one company making keyboards, mice, and headset that integrates with the game, their product is being released in November. |
