Last December we reported that Bioware was targeting a March 1st Asia Pacific release for Star Wars: The Old Republic which EA have confirmed today. This release won't only see boxed copies hit the shelves but regional servers as well.

This release will see the game hit stores in Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong and Singapore. Here's the official statement from EA:
Fans in those regions will be able to play the critically-acclaimed massively multiplayer online game on regional servers, enjoying the story-driven experience that has captivated gamers worldwide. Players in these countries who currently have or have had an active Star Wars: The Old Republic account prior to February 28, 2012 will have the opportunity to request a free character transfer for a limited time to an Asia Pacific server after the launch on March 1, 2012. All players who qualify for a character transfer will be notified in early March with more details.
