Last night during Electronic Arts' financial conference call an unnamed MMO was mentioned for a spring 2011 launch. Today BioWare's message board confirmed what we pretty much figured. Their statement says, "While we have not announced a specific date, we can confirm that we are targeting a spring 2011 release for Star Wars: The Old Republic."

Yep, that means the biggest MMO launch since Poptropica . . . er, World of Warcraft is still over a year away. BioWare's statement adds they still plan to reveal a lot of the 's details throughout 2010 and they also remind folks that they are still taking sign ups for the eventual beta test of the game. Will the game become the MMO champion? Time will tell.
