We know that Star Wars: The Old Republic is set to release in the United States and Europe
on December 20th and 22nd respectively. As of yet, however, we do not
have a release date for oceanic countries like Australia and New
Zealand. We know these SWTOR fans are champing at the bit to get their hands on the game just as much as the rest of the world.
Today, hot on the heels of the official European testing announcement, BioWare Community Coordinator Allison Berryman
announced that the latest round of testing invites just left the Austin
offices. This smaller group is designed to test out the west coast
server for a limited time, and much to the delight of players, the group
includes players from Australia and New Zealand.
Berryman reminds readers that this does not mean BioWare has a defined
release date yet for that region, but the community team will let
everyone know as soon as it does.
