Star Wars: The Old Republic

Where did you guys preorder SWTOR from?
I tried amazon.co.uk, but it just basically gives me a middle finger, apparently they dont ship to my address.
 
I got my pre-order through Origin.
But had to get a German friend of mine buy it using his credit card. I then used paypal to pay him.

Judging by the hoops people in this thread have gone through to get a copy of the game I must say ,
its damn sad that in this day and age publishing houses dont do world wide releases.
I remember when I 1st ordered WoW from the US through a mate of mine and played on the US servers for years until the EU version was released.

They cant stop you from connecting to a server on a different continent if you really want to play the game.
So , in my mind , it should come down to the fans , the fans should be able to buy a game at the same time the rest of the world gets it. I know we are in darkest africa but that's no reason to leave us out in the cold.
If their afraid of shipping a game no one is going to buy , let people pre order it from a website but still get it the same day as the rest of the planet.

At my work , if we order a laptop from Germany , it arrives 2 days later.

No excuses for publishing houses to not get a game to a fan if he pre orders it.

Agreed! I still remember placing an email I got from Bliz SA back in the day, basically telling me I got no chance of buying WoW here in SA to play it. I also remember the trouble I got into posting that email on NAG forums back then.

It is really stupid to exclude regions in a modern age of global gaming.
 

All of which illustrates to me that SWTOR is Pew pew WoW with some GW pets and Bioware story thrown in. Even the terminology the "tester" uses is all WoW: "epic items" etc.

Still, will be a good game until max level and about 2 alts later.

This is going to be a fairly in-depth recitation of my gameplay, including all the bugs and glitches I encountered.
I'm doing this so people can make a fair guess as to where the last build (the build we played on) was in terms of game completion.

STAR WARSâ„¢: The Old Republicâ„¢ : Another Negative Review
I received this negative review about the same time i posted the last one from the beta weekend tester and i was very skeptical as to if i should publish it. The person who sent me this review provided sufficient proof that he is indeed in the regular beta, not the beta weekends.
Please read this with a spoon of salt. Because he doesn't like the game, it doesn't mean that you wont enjoy it either.

Keep reading.
