Are you planning on picking up EA’s forthcoming MMO Star Wars: The Old Republic? EA sure hopes so. Analayst Bhatia recently stopped by the EA studios to check up on the game and has reported that the developers are expectign over 2 million subscribers when the game goes on sale.

This seems a bit high but Bhatia has also said that just to break even, EA is going to need over 1 million subscribers.

I don’t know about you guys but since I finally managed to ween myself off World of Warcraft, I’m not really ready to dive into another MMO anytime soon.

LucasArts has today begun accepting applications for their latest MMORPG Star Wars: The Old Republic. However, just because they are accepting applications doesn’t mean you will be guaranteed admission.

Only after you fill out some standard information and upload a DxDiag file will LucasArts consider letting you into the beta. However, the developer has said that those who sign up earlier will have a better chance at getting accepted into the beta so if you want in, you better get on it.

Head here to sign up.
