I would happily redo ALL of my class quests (and my JK is currently level 31) if it meant I could experience any and all dialogue options this bug has locked me out of.

I just wanted to add my voice to the others affected by this bug. My Jedi Knight is languishing at level 31 because I don't want to move forward with his story until this issue has been fixed. I feel bad enough that I may have missed some special dialogue options at the close of Chapter 1 since I'm unable to advance my relationship with Kira -- and I sure as heck don't want to miss anything further! I was holding out for the next maintenance patch, assuming it would have a fix for this, but it looks like I'm going to be playing alts for quite a while longer than I'd hoped. How sad.

Not true. I wouldn't like hour-long queues. What I DO like is being able to log in at peak time right after work and getting right into my server. I like that a lot.

People really think that once the last wave of invites is sent for the day ... everyone at Bioware just goes home? Really? I guess that shouldn't surprise me. For me, this staggered launch has been great. No overcrowded starting zones. No lag. No server queues. And to top it off, I snagged six out of the eight character names I wanted -- and I didn't get into the game until just after the last wave hit today.

8/1 .... And I'm in!

Once you've entered your code, cancelling the pre-order with whomever you bought it through doesn't take you out of the queue...
