Star Wars: The old Republic not planned for release in SA

Bioware's MMO won't launch in SA, but it might be released here at a later date

Sad, sad news. Skyrim better be brilliant so I can ignore this slap in the face during the holidays...

Well at least we get to enjoy Guild Wars 2 for some time before Star Wars !

Online play via our wonderfully speedy adsl to the rest of the world, will be a bit of a problem....
Slash..., lag, lag, uuugghhh...

Problem is once GW2 is out (if ever), SWTOR will fall completely off my radar, forever.

Yay South Africa. I had to lol at this comment though:

"Hello everyone. We know that you have questions about this topic, and we hope to have more clarification for you all very soon. Regarding whether the game will block players from some regions by IP address: currently, there is no plan to block players by IP blocking. Playing on servers physically distant from your location might mean you experience some issues with latency."

Par for the course, mate. Par for the course. We always play on distant servers.

Will be playing this, getting my copy through amazon.com. Don't need a local release to get my game going.

...bit of a lame ass excuse citing over population. Rift had 100% global Launce and if Trion can then a big company like bioware can too. In fact since wow went smooth it was the first mmo in years to had a smooth as possible launch.
