Every single Asian style mmo since 2004... done. Also all the ones that you dont control a single player. Text based MMO's... and Browser based ones... You are only looking at one tiny genre in the MMO industry. (fantasy/sci-fi). Also most of the big name titles did not have customization at launch.

vanguard Fallen Earth Pirates of the Burning Sea Aion Guild Wars .... your turn? also add 90% of the non AAA titles... yes they are still mmo's

People from those locations can still play, they just have no localization features: no native language support, no local servers, ect.

There is a list of MMO's about 10x as long as that with no barbershop feature... 10% of games having a feature != industry standard.

Early Game Access Has Begun Fans who have pre-ordered STAR WARS: The Old Republic can now begin playing the game! From the main page - http://www.swtor.com/ under latest news. care to try again?

That dev post is full of crap... "(roughly)", "last week or so", "inviting even more, and we'll give you an update on that tomorrow.", "almost certainly ", Yes this sounds like good estimations... Everything they said was clarified with a "this might be untrue, but it sounds good so..." They could invite no one tomorrow and that post would still be accurate.. "technically"

lol... "Speculation" I can make a thread and do some random math and "speculate" that at this rate December people wont get in until the 19th. I can also "speculate" that everyone will get in tomorrow. not sure how those threads help anything.

http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?p=286#edit286 13th was launch day... How can you people not read. The devs mention this not once, but TWICE. Also there is lag on some servers.

You know less than 1/2 the preorders are in right... I'd be shocked if everyone got in by the 19th.

I expect that since they claim this "staggering" of players will reduce lag... that it would do the only conceivable benefit and actually reduce lag. Also if the servers are lagging when the majority of players still are not into EGA, much less the 20th when even more people log on...

So... what do you think is gona happen on the 20th... when a million or so people who didnt preorder try to log on... how did staggering help that?

... Every single other MMO, has had equal access to the game for players on launch day. Launch day was the 13th as said by the devs - http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?p=286#edit286 so don't give me that launch is 20th crap.

You assume that the fan boys have facts and basic logic backing up what they say... i can assure you that that is wrong. Also, companies don't release accurate subscriber data, those are considered market secrets and if other companies knew that data, youd be surprised at what they can do with it. edit: example of what they can do; They can time advertisements whenever X game loses subscribers... thus having a greater chance of "stealing" those customers.

Please ignore the fanboi bots... they dont understand logic and can often post random "praise bioware" posts in the wrong places.
