It’s quite possible that we could see the release of Star Wars: The Old Republic as early as Spring 2011.
During a recent EA fiscal conference call, EA CEO Jon Riccitiello said that an unspecified “major” EA MMO is “making great progress towards a Spring 2011 launch.”
We’re assuming Riccitiello is talking about BioWare’s Star Wars: The Old Republic instead of an unannounced MMO worthy of “major” status.
The publisher's other notable upcoming MMO is the Realtime Worlds's All Points Bulletin, which is still slated to hit during March of this year.
Riccitiello added that it’s possible that the mentioned MMO might not make it out the door thanks to the MMO market's ridiculousness. “But given the volatility of this particular sector,” he cautioned, “and the fact that we haven’t yet provided a specific launch date, at least for now we’ll be excluding it from our FY 11 plans for guidance.”

I am totally gutted :(
as long as the beta for this and Starcraft II hits in the next 6 months though, I'm not TOO bothered
you guys are clamoring for a 2010 launch but look at what happened to Vanguard (and AoC) it launch early filled with bug and stillborn...and a wasted opportunity of a great MMO.
So I'm fine with 2011.
