[The, "You should've pre-ordered sooner.", argumen...]

I completely understand the whole if you pre-ordered earlier, you get in first etc.

 

Its the same concept with even picking up the game on a midnight launch. If you turn up at 9pm your most likely going to be holding the game in your hands earlier than those who rock up at 11:30pm.

 

That being said, the only problem i have with it is that being from Australia, i didn't have the chance to pre-order any earlier than November as there is still no release date in Australia yet. The only way ive managed to pre-order is when Amazon started taking allowing pre-orders for the game.

dec 1st here, we will get in before the 19th, trust me..

 

meee too!

 

would have pre-ordered earlier but i wasn't able to because there is still no release date in Australia!!!

grrr.

 

only reason i'm able to get it is because amazon ship to Australia.

dude, it all depends on when you pre-ordered. Those that pre-ordered first get in first. Those that pre-ordered this month and up to day most likely get in last.

[Early Access 'Waves' - Updating Here]

You're guaranteed to get some form of early access if you pre-order, it even says so in the email you receive when you place the pre-order. Whether that is the full 5 days ( now 7 because they started 2 days early ) or just 1 day of early access would all depend on when you pre-ordered. For instance, in the email i recieved it said:

 

Thank you for registering your Pre-Order Code. You are now registered for the following items:

 

Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ Standard Edition Pre-Order

Early game access

Color Stone (Virtual Item)

 

They wouldn't put early game access in there if not everyone who pre-orders gets it.

Also for people complaining about not getting the full five days even though they preo-orderd like a few days ago, do you not know the meaning of 'may' and 'up to' means?
