BioWare has officially announced it will be delaying European beta testing for its MMO Star Wars: The Old Republic.
European users have so far missed the first weekend of testing, while testing will be delayed for an unspecific length of time.
However, the studio has confirmed a new build and associated character wipe are on their way.
Speaking on the official Star wars: The Old Republic website, European community manager Chris Collins explained:
“For those of you that may have missed the messages we put out on the subject already, last week saw a number of issues arise with key systems that prevented us from sending out invites to EU players. Had everything gone to plan, we would have been able to offer two weeks of testing time to new users. However, given the issues that arose, this was physically not possible.
“So while we understand that this news may not be what a lot of you wanted to hear today, we hope that you’ll understand our position. Given the news of this new build, it’s now more important than ever that we invite European players into the Game Testing environments, so you have my word that this batch of invites will happen, it may just mean you just have to wait a little longer.”
The new build will require users to re-download the entire 27 gig client. Included in it will be localised French and German versions of the game.
Beta Testing weekends were set to begin internationally September 2.
