Announcement on the official forums this morning,
"BioWare and LucasArts are excited to announce that Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ will officially launch in Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong and Singapore on March 1st, 2012! Fans in these regions who purchase the game will be able to experience their very own Star Wars™ saga on regional servers. Players who have already begun their journey will also have a limited-time opportunity to migrate their characters from their current servers to Asia Pacific servers after the launch on March 1st, giving them the chance to take advantage of the decreased network latency by playing on a regional server. All players who qualify for a character transfer will be notified in early March with more details."
Direct link for those of you that want to follow the thread.
Steven Reid has made several comments that the severs will be located on Australian Soil, hinting at either Melbourne or Sydney, though has not been forthcoming with specifics.
There has yet to be any details on Legacy levels carrying over.
Ausgamers have posted an interview with Grant McDaniel, Senior Development Director of Live Services, that discusses the local launch next month.
It's an interesting read but most people seem to agree a few of the answers were a bit vague.
