Star Wars: The Old Republic will not be region locked, according to BioWare’s senior online community manager Stephen Reid.
On the official Star Wars: The Old Republic forums, Reid wrote: “There are no plans to ‘region lock’ or ‘IP block’ players from the game,” however he warned “you may experience some latency issues if you’re not playing in a launch territory.”
Reid added: “Anyone who pre-orders The Old Republic and redeems their pre-order code will be eligible for Early Game Access. Those eligible for Early Game Access will be able to download the game client before it starts.
“There will be a period after launch day in which those who have pre-ordered will be able to continue playing before entering their Game Code. More information on this will be made available closer to launch.”
In terms of payment, Reid stated: “We will accept credit card payments for subscriptions.”
There is currently no official release date for the upcoming MMO. However, BioWare recently released a new trailer for the Jedi Consular class.
