Star Wars: The Old Republic breaks EA pre-order record.

Unfortunately, the wait is not actually over...but it is really reassuring to see so many people excited for the game.  Recently, EA announced that SWTOR has broken the pre-order record (previously held by Battlefield 3) 

Why this is so important: The size of the community in an MMORPG is extremely vital.  Without a large number of active players, core game-features such as Flashpoints, and PVP just don't thrive.  I have personally been very impressed by the large number of people already preparing for the game.

Not to mention, Bioware has offered some great bonuses for pre-order, including early game access.
