Star Wars: The Old Republic continues to prove itself overwhelmingly popular as the official launch day progresses. Perhaps a little too popular, in fact. Stephen Reid
stopped by the official forums today to post a short warning on
high-population servers. Many players are experiencing extended queues
to log in to their servers, but Reid focuses on a few "consistently
high-population servers... [which] are closing in on their absolute
population cap." These servers have reached or nearly reached the
maximum amount of players the server can handle and "will likely have a
queue to enter even at off-peak playtimes."

The servers in question, organized by region, are The Harbinger, The
Swiftsure, and The Fatman for North America, and Bloodworthy, Frostclaw,
Legions of Lettow, The Red Eclipse, Tomb of Freedon Nadd, Darth Revan's
Mask, Darth Traya, Jar'Kai Sword, and Hrakert Rift for Europe. Reid
adds that server transfers are a common request, but even though the
ability to transfer servers is being worked on, "there is no ETA on when
it will be available."

Also of note is the announcement that SWTOR will be launching
in Australia and New Zealand in the spring of 2012. Reid states that
right now the team is aiming for March 1st, though that may change. And
if you've already imported the game, don't worry. Reid says that
"[BioWare] will be investigating solutions to allow you to continue to
play on a local server once they come online in March." For the full
details, click on over to the SWTOR official forums.

Aren't we glad we didn't join 'oceanic' Swiftsure?
