Star Wars: The Old Republic Now has Global Release Date

In efforts to prevent one community from getting an advantage over the others, Bioware has announced that the European release date for their latest upcoming MMO, Star Wars: The Old Republic, has been moved forward.

This means that SWTOR will now hit store shelves in both the US as well as Europe on December 20th, 2011. The original European relase date was December 22nd but Bioware has heard the cries of their European fans. For those of you not familiar with the world of MMO, you may think that their just whining as it was only 2 days; just keep in mind that when it comes to an MMO a 2 day head start could mean anywhere from a 15-30 level difference.
