i said nothing about getting 5 days. all i said was you are paying for EGA, how ever many days it is.

are most of you people stupid in this thread or what. This is what the fee is for: Pre-Order Fee Includes: Early Game Access <------ what does this say. Color Stone (Virtual Item) Your card will be pre-authorized for the full amount of the game. After 24 hours this pre-authorization will be released and you will ONLY be charged $5 for the Pre-Order. The balance will be charged when the game is released. If you have questions, please see our Pre-Order FAQ. yes they give you a $5 dollor discount but the fee is for EGA and color stone. so OP you are right . you paid a pre-order fee that included EGA.

another person that has no clue what they are talking about. You redeemed your Pre-Order Code and now are registered for the following items: Early Game Access (what does this say) Color Stone (Virtual Item) DOWNLOAD GAME CLIENT You can now download the game client and patch the game. Watch for an email invitation from The Old Republic team to begin your Early Access. Don’t play solo! Tell your friends you've pre-ordered Star Wars: The Old Republic on Facebook or Twitter!

humm pretty sure that is what this says Product SKU: 71065 Product Name: Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ Digital Standard Edition Pre-Order Fee Qty Ordered: 1 Amount: $5.00 Reading comprehension skills are not a strong suit of people on this forum. agreed!!!!!

from what i have read they are going down on the 19th at what time i am not sure.

awesome tyty

bump to see if any knows

has anyone heard when and for how long the servers will go down for the start on the 20th?

This looks like it is going to be a real problem. Here are the totals by server type as of end of day December 13: RP-PVE servers (entire World): Empire 25,986 | Republic 30,393 | Hey look, more good guys than bad guys. A lot of RP players want to be a Jedi or Smuggler. What a surprise! Not PVE servers (entire World): Empire 107,974 | Republic 86,269 | Empire +25% population PVP servers (entire World): Empire 137,732 | Republic 66,586 | Empire has 2.1 times the population lets hope it starts being balanced.

very nice to see people talking about what alot of people are mad about, instead of all the threads with foul attitudes. Lets keep it up.

the following post is not mine but was posted on mmorpg. I found it to be a fairly good post and may be how alot of players are feeling right now. posted by MMOtoGO on mmorpg.com " I did not pre-order it, but a whole bunch of folks did. Thousands of gamers have been frothing at the mouth to get into the Star Wars Universe in Star Wars: The Old Republic. Those gamers have already spent their money with the promise of getting into the game world before the December 20th launch. Imagine the joy that filled the hearts of those that were sent that first email saying, "You're in!". You could hear the immortal words of Oz's Scarecrow, "Joy! Rapture!" But...then the rumblings began. Forums began to see sprinklings of posts saying, "Where's my email?" Then the official word via Twitter clarified what was about to happen. Those that pre-ordered would be allowed only one wave at a time. This means that thousands of people are forced to sit on the sidelines and watch their friends blast through the first zones of the game. That New Server Smell Back when World of Warcraft was still growing explosively, new server launches occurred on a regular basis. Each time a server was launched, thousands of players would re-roll there in order to be a part of the initial wave of leveling. There's nothing like it. Everybody is basically the same level, World PvP is amazing since there aren't several higher level players to one-shot you. It's a rush, to say the least. This experience will never happen in SWTOR. Leveling is super-fast and there are several pre-order gamers that still haven't received their invite. By the time they get in, those unfortunate souls will be behind by 10-20 levels at least and won't be able to do any of the lower level content with those in the initial wave or experience that once-in-a-server-lifetime world PvP. Gamers Should Always Come First I want to credit EA/BioWare for doing such a fantastic job of marketing their game. The hype is beyond what I've seen in a long, long time. I hope that they will honor that hype by giving gamers a world-class experience in and out of game. That being said, the staggered invites were the wrong choice and I certainly hope they learn from this. The gamer's experience should never fall secondary to an unwillingness to tackle a technology problem. It was more important that gamers play together than it was for their hardware to stay shiny. Separating groups of gamers causes much more frustration than an occasional server crash or 10-15 minute wait to log in. What's the Alternative Yes, as it has been stated, if EA/BioWare had chosen to let everybody in at once, they would have faced server stability problems and long queues. I say, "so what?" This is normal in MMORPG's and is expected and this is what gamers are prepared to endure in order to claim the rewards of being in the first wave during launch. By letting players in 'in waves' they've ruined that golden moment where a community is built, legends are born and where, arguably, the moments that spawn stories that are told year after year when recounting the server's history. But then again, I guess the most important story to BioWare is theirs, not yours. TL:DR The staggered launch is the wrong approach that is segmenting server communities and severely hurting world PvP. It's a lazy solution to a larger problem. It's better to have an occasional server crash and smaller queues than to have yoru friends 20-30 levels higher than you and never experience initial content together for the first time. Agree? Disagree? Do you think it's better to separate gamers or to have occasional server crashes and queues? Please post your thoughts but lets keep in clean and constructive.

what will be even funnier on the 20th is when all those people log in and the servers crash. Cause on that day BW can not stop them from logging in lol. they can not control how many log on. Time will tell but hopefully they are ready for it.

unlimited!

Well hopefully BW/EA has common sense, If anyone is still pre-odering to pull out the EGA from the pre- orders. But I don't think they will cause that would cause them not to make as much money.

sorry but this dev chat is a joke. nothing will get answered in this.

i tryed askign about the EGa and my question was rejected!

i asked a hard core question and it was rejected lol

i just hope one or two of the people that was able to get a question in ask good one not somthing that is trvial

rofl crashed the bb forums. This is amazing
