Only, the invite waves started at 2pm GMT/8am CST every day they've been sending them out, so you either fail in getting the proper information or you just can't read all that well.

I redeemed my pre-order code on dec 8th, so I hope I'm in the first wave too

Well, as always, take all "doom&gloom" posts with a rather large pinch of salt. I mean, it's nothing new, I've experienced this type of thing on forums related to LOTRO before that even launched in april 2007. LOTRO was also "doomed" and was going to get the worst MMO of the year, etc etc. And, everytime there was a new MMO coming, it was going to be the death of LOTRO, etc etc. AoC, Warhammer, Rift, Aion, Vanguard....to count a few. Where are they now?

There's only one server with Heavy, and that's a EU PVP server. Most others are Light. Some Standard. None Full.

The Whinge is strong in this one.

Was actually Dec 5th, but zavvi.com only gave me the pre-order code on dec 8th, lol. Only pre-ordered after I'd been beta testing it sufficiently. I never buy games if I haven't tested them first.

Ibtl.

Hey, the more people that cancel their pre-orders, the quicker I get Early Access, I'm all for people cancelling

I don't tend to buy games(MMOs at least)that I haven't been able to test beforehand. I was in LOTRO SoA beta for 5-6 months before that launched, and I ended up buying the Collector's Edition of LOTRO SoA(EU side), it included a lifetime subscription. I had a trial of AoC and thought, "ok, I can spend a few quid on this game, it's not the best game, but hey, it's amusing me sufficiently at the moment", so bought it for under £10. I wanted into SW:TOR beta, because I wanted to see what it was like before I pre-ordered. It took me until the stress test event to get invited, and then I got invited again for the last weekend test, and after that, I decided I wanted to at least play for a few months, so I pre-ordered it last monday, but only got my pre-order code from zavvi.com thursday.
