TOR release date for The Old Republic?

There's still 6 events left for TOR this year. My best guess is sometime between the Paris convention at the end of October, and the mega LAN party in Sweden, at the end of November.

 

Just because you will be able to play the games at these events late into the year, doesn't mean the game won't already be out. They could still have free playtime computers setup for fans who haven't heard about this game (yes there are people out there that are just now finding out about it and complain they have been waiting since January... been waiting six years here). So it could be just more publicity and then they could say, if you liked it, go buy it. Simple as that.

I preordered the Deluxe Digital copy and it says "Anticipated Holiday 2011" release. That could be anywhere from October to November. Heck in retail Holiday stuff starts going out in September or so.
