SWTOR in 2011? (Rumor)

Have a read here.

Internet is filling up with this article now, hopefully he meant something else

EDIT: Here is a thread about it on the forums

Aye, I saw this earlier. Frankly, I'm not going to believe anything that is said until BioWare specifically states it right from their mouths. This game has been worked on since 2005. They announced it in 2008. They will not have a game being in development for six years before releasing it. And it would have been a stupid move to have them announce a game three years before it is actually released. Someone in the thread on the SW:TOR forums posted this:

"This coming from the same EA CEO that quickly retracted his statement that Tor would be using a "micro-transactions" based subscription model, shortly after this news hit the net there was a worldwide outcry against it and EA responded with there is currently no chosen sub model for Tor it was a "misunderstanding"."

So, I'm not believing this EA CEO, and I don't think any of you should either.

Also, we have to remember that Game Testing sign ups were in Quarter Three of last year. You wouldn't expect for the Developers to begin sorting out Game Testing when it was around a year and a half away, especially since BioWare said that the Open Beta would begin a month before the game release.

I just feel that it's a far too long time to be developing a game.

Yea while working on a game for 5 years and then announcing it in 08 does seem like a major stretch to me as well. Usually a game comes out a at max a year after its been announced and so far here going on our second and they still have a lot of stuff to cover. So a 2011 date may be possible but like typhos said im not gonna assume anything till bioware says it themselves

I'd also like to add that the novel, "Star Wars: The Old Republic: Fatal Alliance" is scheduled to be released on July 27, 2010. It is related to the game. It would be entirely moronic to release the novel mid 2010, then release the game in early-mid 2011. It wouldn't make any sense.

Im not quite sure what to believe yet but I will continue to be skeptical of any reports unless it is from Bioware.

EDIT: Well I just saw the comment from Sean... so I guess nevermind all that.

As it has been confirmed by Sean on TOR forums please post here with anything regarding release:
