The Old Republic

The saga begins. Star Wars: The Old Republic is released in stores next week on the 20th. However over the next seven days people who pre-ordered the game gets early access in waves, based on the order in which they registered their purchase. I wasn't expecting to get access on day one but I received my email about an hour ago as part of wave 4. It's a little odd that I get to play the game before the physical disks I ordered actually arrive but I guess that's part of the nature of MMOs and of course the collectors edition comes with many extras apart from the disks. So later this evening I will create my first permanent character, no more testing!
