| Revan was not the only news at SDCC... |
And thankfully for those of that could not attend #SDCC one of the more popular pods has stepped in for us. The Republic on Gamebreak.tv did a special #SDCC show. The show runs about 2 hours long and covers a ton of great information.
Quick summary for those that don't have the time (just the big stuff):
September Beta. It's coming!
This September they will allow select users to test the game on the weekends in the month of September.
Game Launch
- Sharding intro areas. Beginning areas only to help control population in the beginning. Basically an attempt to instance off the beginning areas of the game to reduce lag.
- Reduced number of pre-orders. BioWare/EA trying to control or phase the game into production. Trying to avoid slamming the servers on Day 1. PRE-ORDERs - PLUG IN YOUR CODE ASAP. Not based on just having a code but when did you enter your code.
- Target Release is Holiday 2011
Game Details
