Ok, not quite everybody, but starting March 1st Star Wars: The Old Republic will be launching in Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, and Singapore. That’s going to add a nice chunk to a player-base that is already the fastest growing of any subscription MMO in history.
Our biggest priority for The Old Republic has always been to deliver a high quality product and high quality service and we are pleased with our results in North America and Europe,” said Dr. Greg Zeschuk, General Manager of the BioWare Label’s MMO Business Unit and Co-Founder of BioWare. “We appreciate that our fans in these countries have been patient and we are excited to deliver this same great customer experience to players this March.”
Players in the new regions will be receiving color crystals as pre-order incentive just like the NA/EU launch, and will have a choice of the Standard Edition, or Digital Deluxe Edition of the game.
It will be interesting to see SWTOR‘s subscriber numbers come April. If they can continue to grow their existing player base while reaching out to these new areas of the world, SWTOR could continue to set records for the genre.
