there are plenty of excuses out there to not pre-order within the first few months even

I missed that. good find, I stand corrected.

my mind is blown and is spinning like a top!

not sure if calling me intelligent or a herp derp....

"We're happy to finally announce today that Early Game Access begins December 13th, 2011. This means that everyone who has pre-ordered Star Wars: The Old Republic and redeemed their pre-order code will have up to seven days to play the game early." This quote came from the first link you provided, in the very first paragraph (actually it is the first paragraph in total). So 1 day is still within the "up to seven days" time frame, therefore it is unreasonable to say that "nearly everyone should be getting 3 days EGA" as this goes against the quote you in fact referenced. I'm as upset as everyone else that I am not able to play (although my reasons are slightly different and are between me and Origin) but there has been no statement saying that everyone gets two extra days to play. They merely changed their statement from "up to five days" to "up to seven days."

actually it doesn't even matter as everyone is buffed to be even with everyone else in warzones

This is from a Norwegian gameshop site gonna bring back the release date specultation thread game and say... /drink

according to the data it is not. According to some sources this was the most pre-ordered game in EA's history. Also many of the servers are currently listed at "high" or "full" capacity right now and as posted above the June pre-orders are not even in yet (though this may be different now that today's final batch has been released). So it's not like there are a vast amount of open slots to be filled. side note: this is starting earlier than the "5 days" that they have been promoting so I think people will get in at a reasonable point in time.
