Now for FAQ

Where can I pre-order the game
Officially this game only available for US and Europe only, so there will be no officially available in our local store. HOWEVER there are few option you can buy it from.
- Offgamers.com (Only in Digital form, you have to download the whole game via Origins, offgamers also give away early access codes)
- Play-Asia.com (Located in HK, Physical copy only, no early access code) Also available Collector Edition (but no pricing yet)
- Amazon.com (Not recomended unless you are getting Collector Edition), the total amount physical copy of the game (standard)+ shipping to Malaysia + early access code = around RM300
I DO NOT recomended other than these method as these method 100% tested in our community and it work. VPN/Proxy allow you to see and buy the game via Origins but your local credit card wont work.
However our local store Gamers Hideout at PJ will get the stock after the release date, they currently cannot confirm if the game can arrive on launch date or not.

What server that most of our local player play?
At this point we assume Keetael was our primary selected server. Tested during beta and it works fine.

When does the game release and when can I join the early access I get from my pre-order?
the game release on 20th December 2011 - US time (should be somewhere early morning in 21th Dec in our local time). Early access allow you to play as early as 15th Dec, however this entirely depend on how early you pre-order the game, you will get the notification via email.

Is there a local community or guild that we local player can join?
Yeap, we are at facebook, as for guild some of the community member already make guild, we will mainly separate 2 guild (1 light side and 1 dark side). Come in to the facebook for update

You do realize :-
1) NDA not yet lifted
2) monthly commitment how much ? ( have not announced)
3) There is a region block for half the planet
4) They have NOT decided to block ip address FOR NOW ( they might)
5) There will be no account support for red region players ( country that are not listed)
6) Credit card top up via Origin store are not available for red region(yet)
*
For question 4, I feel there is a great chance they wont IP block, there is chance they might block but lower, seeing how EA and Bioware operate, is unlikely to be block.

The official website I can set my account-country to Malaysia.

If anything goes ill, just use VPN or proxy. Reload card wont be much trouble as can get almost anywhere on digital store like offgamers.

you said probably true, now the 1 thing i dont understand is why there is still no launch date? Bioware can annouced ME3 which launch next year and not SW:TOR which launch this year?

This make me assume that Bioware still actually planning worldwide release and need time to organize their resources. So they dont actually know when they can complete. Well that just my assumption.

Hey guise,

How reliable is g2play.net?
Anyone know which other distributor gives CD-Key so I can play on launch day?

According to this, Amazon doesn't give out the CD-Key only the Early Access Key
*
I do not recomended it, some of my friends has bad experiance with them, plus I do not know where you get that info, Amazon.com giv away early access code since day 1 when it was annouced.

pui, u wan compare Star Wars Universe with Warcraft?
Dont get me wrong, WoW is good, but way past its era
btw u also get option to buy when the game is localize, the release is for US/Europe, basically all copy are imported, memang mahal.

also I taking liberty to put up SWTOR Client on mediafire for those who are missed the beta test
You can use the client for your game as well. Meaning you can pre-download the game right now.
19GB take alot of time to download if u r using streamyx

steam doesnt show region lock games as well, but it doesnt make you cant owned the game
there always work around. Anyway, the game will appear after u register your key in swtor.com and it will appear in origins.

btw, even if you treat this game as a SP, is already damn worth it.
