The Time Has Come

The time has come, Tuesday December thirteenth, will be the first day of early access into Star Wars: The Old Republic MMORPG. Those who pre-ordered the game early on will be in the first wave of new residents of the Star Wars Galaxy. Each day a new group of recruits to the Republic and Empire forces will be permitted to launch their ships to the home planets of their chosen class and begin the unique story that will be theirs alone. Although each class has a base story line, decisions made by the individual player along the way will alter the path of their character, so it will be rare indeed for two stories to be exactly the same.

Early access will continue up until the official release date of December twentieth when the game will available to everyone. Those who have pre-ordered will receive an email the morning of the day they are allowed to enter the game informing them they are eligible for access. Having experienced delays in receiving emails myself during beta, costing a little weekend game time, I will be firing up my client every morning starting Tuesday just in case.

If you have not pre-ordered the game yet there is still time to do so and gain a day or two of game time before the actual release, at least that is the impression given on the main SWTOR site.

The time has come, choose your side, Republic or Empire, Jedi or Sith, Smuggler or Imperial Agent, Trooper or Bounty Hunter, the stories are immersive and the game play exciting. If you are an MMO fan, a Star Wars fan, or both, I think you will like what you find in Star Wars: The Old Republic, see you in game.
