SWTOR Expands Further in Europe and the Middle East

I'm off to play SWTOR in Gibraltar!

BioWare disclosed today that SWTOR has launched in a bunch of other European countries and in the Middle East.

It’s great to see more people able to get access to the game and it’ll be interesting to see what impact this has on overall subscriber numbers.

Cynics may say that some of the countries listed are on the smaller side, but there’s some significant populations of potential players there. Take Tunisia for example – is there a residual love of Star Wars there given that country featured heavily in the original movies?
