you kidding me, right ? do you realise that ~1 million players cant play for several thousands to be happy ? If this is your ideea of a great launch...

Dear Mr. Reid, looking at http://www.swtor.com/server-status one can see that the European servers are Light Populated, yet no invites at all for like 18 hours. For me this translates in a very poor launch - since no other game had their players locked in a huge giant queue for a 7 day process while having their servers almost empty. Sure we may had some small queues and/or minimal lag in WoW or RIFT but nothing that made the whole experience actually melting. Like we sadly have it with SWTOR these days. Having 1 million+ of players angry out in the cold while your servers are not populated at all for tens of hours its really weird for me and I am struggling to understand your points of view along with the whole community. I hope you guys understood by now the whole EAG thingie was a complete failure, having 1 million customers pay the bill for the happyness of 100k cant be a "good" ideea. I know that you guys dont want to pay for more servers then necesairly but really, 7 (SEVEN) days queue ? Come on. I can add that for European players (which at worst will be only 50% of the playerbase) the day does actually start with 6-8 hours earlier then in US so the waves and services should also start accordingly, dont you think ? I really hope for the best.

Beg your pardon ? Millions of people out there who cant play for some 200k people being happy cause they have low populated servers equals a win situation for you ? Rofl. At best Bioware just lost credibility and respect, people are really angry right now. At worst they will loose players for good. When I did the stress test I rarely had an issue with the competition for kills or lag. The Eu servers are low populated from 10 hours+, its simply one of the worst launches in history of MMOs, if not the worst. http://www.swtor.com/server-status look how nice the green colour is, isnt it a beauty ?

Theoretically I could be Jesus too. But I dont write it on walls and certainly I dont expect people to believe it The OP's argument stands.

I give this launch a 3 out of 10. Its completely inadmisible that millions of players have to stay days and days all in a giant queue...

December 9 and proud of it.

Actually no, its sad. A good launch shouldnt have ended like this. Ever.

Can you stop trying to tell me what to do ? Thanks. P.S. and yeah, writing in caps does not make you cooler or smarter.

Why would I say thanks for something that I didnt got yet, especially when I actually payed before the delivery ? I am sure Bioware is a fine studio, but I wont be the regular fanboy just because they said I might get 1 day of EAG. It requires much more for me to express my gratitude since I have total respect for my money.

I wonder how many lvl 50s will be when they let us start play... Way to ruin a launch, never heard of such thing before to let your playerbase join on a 7 day staggered period lol...

nope, I have 2 real life friends that cancelled today when they dicosvered they still didnt got invited. They were on the edge untill they heard from Stephen's Reid Twitter that Dec orders will probably benefit from 1-2 days max. They got insanely angry as a matter of fact and even if I tried to lure them back, they were pretty focused on their decision. They really cancelled, like well, you know...cancelled.

I think its a really bad launch to have millions of players who actually bought the game waiting for the log-in day to come. Really, the game is finished, the servers are online and low populated, whats the catch with all this useless waiting ? I would honestly prefer some queues and thats it, then to wait in a 7 day queue lol...cause thats it, a 7 day queue.

totally agreed !

I suggest that the english community of players should simply wait for the next online pvp server and "claim" it. There are too few pvp servers today and too many countries that are going for them. Now, if only someone would take the initiative and make a nice post telling everyone what to do...

I am honestly curious too, Path of Wreckage is looking for a nice server with an english speaking community. We really dont want the Warsong experience all over again ><
