Just to the sage.

Given the free VIP badge (that's 1,000,000 credits, per character), I would say the CE owners would still have a bonus if the stores became available for all VIPs.

There is a difference. Rejuv is a front-loaded HOT; Healing Trance is a channeled heal. Rejuv places a moderate heal immediately, then heals a small amount every 3 seconds. It heals slowly, can be cast on the run, and you can move/cast while it is ticking away. Healing Trance gives a moderate heal every second. It heals quickly and cannot be cast on the move. Healing Trance is like a healing version of our Telekinetic Throw. Both spells have their place.

Login before dinner and let the queue tick away while eating. Shouldn't have to worry about crowded areas because we should be level 30+ by then and in completely different zones (just don't make any new chars that day unless you're going to be playing with someone who didn't get EGA).

Yeah, Amazon.uk and Amazon.de have been shipping for a few days already. It's specifically US Amazon that is behind.

Mine hasn't changed yet either. Things are just all over the place right now. Someone who lives near me has had RDD for a couple weeks now. And the CSRs don't know what's going on. Some are saying all orders will ship this week, some say nothing will ship until the 20th and nobody will get RDD, and others are saying they will be emailing activation codes on the 20th (which I highly doubt since they're not supposed to open the packages). I'm still in a wait and see mode.
