The development team was adamant about recapturing the magic of the movies, and so it felt it was important that every class receive its own introduction in this fashion. In addition to this intro, each character class will also have several hundred hours of unique story content, with Dickinson adding that players "will not see one duplicate mission" between the classes during their personal story missions.There will of course be the regular “Standard Edition,” which includes a disc containing the game software, along with 30 days of access. (A subscription will be required to play the MMO beyond those first 30 days.) It will retail for $59.99.According to Google, The poster further goes on to say, "I know what it is like to be in the position of the player and say 'but that this spring in the bite-me-the-node?' And that, of course, we cannot tell you for fear of the grill."Thankfully, community manager Stephen Reid said on Twitter that the MMORPG will not be region locked, opening the possibility of import to those outside Europe and the US.

No release date has been set for The Old Republic, but BioWare will host beta test weekends beginning in September.
