New servers launch for Australia, New Zealand, Asia Minor
For months, players in Australia, New Zealand and Asia Minor had formed a daisy chain of guilds and networks to form a virtual server on the U.S. realm Swiftsure. Earlier in the month, BioWare announced that it would open up Ocenic servers on March 1st.
Though most in the U.S. may check their calendars and observe today is February 29th, our friends in Asia (who are on the other side of the International Date Line) woke up to some good news as BioWare welcomed it's new players in Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong and Singapore.
In its original announcment, Dr. Greg Zeschuk, General Manager of the BioWare Label’s MMO Business Unit and Co-Founder of BioWare said, “Our biggest priority for The Old Republic has always been to deliver a high quality product and high quality service and we are pleased with our results in North America and Europe. We appreciate that our fans in these countries have been patient and we are excited to deliver this same great customer experience to players this March.”
Characters who may already be on a US realm are eligible for transfer to an Oceanic Server. Details may be found on the Asia Pacific Launch FAQ Page. Transfers will be free for those whose accounts whose account options already declare that they are from Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong or Singapore. Guild transfers are not yet available at this time. For those who do not qualify for the free transfers, there is a paid transfer service available.
UPDATE (2/29/12): The calendar gnomes have verified that today is February 29th, not March 29th. Sorry for any confusion or missed appointments.
