SWTOR Getting a Release Date?

STAR WARS: The Old Republic - Release date speculation!!!

As always speculation is on the rise in the TOR forums. It would appear Mr. Stephen Reid is up to his usual antics. The following post:


'Wait and see' means... drum roll please...


Wait...


... and see.


Remember, I have said many many times that there are certain things you're going to get before a release date.


Two weeks to wait; then you'll see.


found here. Comes hot off the heels of linking this bad boy in his twitter feed:


Understood, and we're very aware of this.


Right now, we're sticking with a wide window (the second half of 2011). Obviously every day that goes by narrows that window slightly.


It's possible in the future we'll narrow that window. For example, we may say "We're aiming at [quarter]" or "We're aiming at [month]. It's also possible we'll jump right to a specific date. There are pros and cons to each scenario.


Exactly what we do (narrow the window or announce a date) is a decision that's quite a way above my head, but we monitor all the feedback we have on this, and we give it to the people who make those decisions. In other words, we're very aware of this.

Clearly something is afoot in the SWTOR forums. Or I am just reading way into this. Which is what our boy Reid probably wants. OHHH that clever guy.
