Play Star Wars: The Old Republic and be the hero of your own Star Wars saga in a story-driven massively-multiplayer online game from BioWare and LucasArts. Explore an age thousands of years before the rise of Darth Vader when war between the Old Republic and the Sith Empire divides the galaxy.

Choose to be a Jedi, a Sith, or from a variety of other classic Star Wars roles, and make decisions which define your personal story and determine your path down the light or dark side of the Force. Along the way you will befriend courageous companions who will fight at your side or possibly betray you based on your actions. Together, you will battle enemies in dynamic Star Wars combat and team up with other players to overcome incredible challenges.

  • ADVENTURE WITH COMPANIONS – Build or break meaningful relationships with your companions as they join in your journeys and fight at your side.

5 stars "Its coming! but not for us (atm)"

Pretty much what the title says. At the moment the game is being released in US/Euro but not for us. Time frame for us is someday.

But for those that are wanting to get the game they have said that they have no plans on IP blocking or stopping credit cards to sub to the game. So, if you are interested you can get it from amazon.com. There will be more cost involved, but at least you can get the game around release.

5 stars "Works good in NZ"

I managed to play in the last beta and I was logged onto a US server, and it played great from NZ. So the performance should be fine even if they dont yet have a Australia/NZ local server. On the bright side at least the Aussies are missing out too!

5 stars "Swtor might be delayed for nz/oz"
  • rate the game 5 as it really interests me and will destroy my social life
  • rate it 3 if it's delayed for part of the known world.

Gameplanet has an article on it atm.

Really lame that despite them knowing there's a high demand for the game with the high sign up rate to the beta and general interest shown it sounds they didn't anticipate the demand which may be lame for us :/

But the only good I can see is that while others are getting ahead in swtor(which does irk me a little) I will have a little more time to get through so many good games that are releasing in the next few months.

5 stars "Quite for being brand new..."

So far the game has been fantastic – I barely ever look at my experience bar. There are a lot of options when you create your character so it's totally your own. You become so immersed in the story as when you talk to NPCs you choose what you want to say, it's very ‘movie’ like.

The starting zones for both Empire and Republic are great although I personally enjoyed the Republic better. Then once you move onto other planets it just looks great and you feel how big the game really is. Can't wait to carry on playing!

Latency isn't too bad so far haven't been over 180ms yet and have seen it as low as 160ms with any tunneling services.

Definitely worth it – this is going to topple WoW.

5 stars "Great story line that follows your game play"

I love how when the game starts loading it gives you a nice summary of where you are up to and what you are doing. You can follow the story really easily and what your character does adds up to whether they are light or dark side – purely through the choices you make.
Love this game and highly recommend it!
