12.16.2011 Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ Early Game Access: Ready to play 12.12.2011 Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ Early Game Access: Ready to patch 12.12.2011 Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ Digital Standard Edition Pre-Order

That was posted yesterday, sir.

No, that code is for the pre-order. You get a separate product key later on. If your account shows "ready to patch", and not "ready to play", then you don't have access yet.

The blame lies with GameStop. Many people had these issues with GameStop, EBGames, Best Buy, and probably several others. There isn't anything Bioware could have done about this. It sucks, I know, but you should get in within the next couple days most likely.

You don't have to start over.. Bioware just added 8 new servers a few minutes ago. The queues will clear up in a day or two.

As to your signature, WoW queues were upward of 2 hours during WotLK launch. I think you guys can deal with 30-45 minutes.

Changing their names would entirely break the story line. I wouldn't expect it to ever happen.

Did you play WoW for release? It was much worse. Everything was queued for vanilla launch, as well the first two expansion launches. The game isn't even out yet. The reason they are staggering the invites is to get this remedied before launch day.. If you don't like dealing with queues and server crashes, wait until a little bit after launch. I'm not trying to troll you, I'm just being honest. New games have issues. Deal with it, or wait for them to get fixed.

Yes. I was pleasantly surprised.

You could do that anyway. If you do get invited today, it will most likely be one of the last waves of the day. I would plan on getting your invite first thing tomorrow morning.
