I'm in. Oct 4th! First wave is a go. no email but just got in through the launcher. And e-mail just landed as I write this.

Pretty sure, but you're right it's always a good idea to be certain with those things. http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/star-wars-the-old-republic/id488420452?mt=8

Ooh the authenticator app is out for ios. That's what I can do while I wait for the first wave.

I'm Oct 4th so I just missed yesterday's last wave by a few days. I'm hoping they get through Nov 30th as that's when I preordered my girlfriend's copy.

LOL your latency is almost long enough to be a telephone number.

I really want to be on Space Slug. I think partly it reminds me of playing Master of Orion back in the day.

From Stephen Reid. http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=16391 "All invite waves have now been sent. We'll be sending more invites tomorrow, starting from 8AM CST (6AM PST / 9AM EST / 2PM GMT / 3PM CET)."

I assume they are monitoring the servers for now. If there's a bonus wave I'd guess it would hit before 3:00 pm CST (was that around the time of the last wave yesterday?). I'm not holding out any hope though for a bonus wave. Although I am an Oct 4th preorder.

from stephen reid's post "We're currently planning on sending four waves of email invites today of equal size (but in total number of invites, larger than yesterday - yes, waves can vary in size). " http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=16391

Yeah. Oct 4th here and not in yet. Checked launcher and account - code redemption. I've heard some Oct 3rds say the same as me.

Umm this is the actual conversation. The one floating around about a bonus wave is false. DrewIAHWK @DrewIAHWK 1h · Details @Rockjaw Why are you guys still advertising up to 5 days EGA? No way will anyone post November get more then 1 day, seems kinda deceitful. Stephen Reid @Rockjaw Close @DrewIAHWK It's a little early to be saying that.

4th wave just confirmed on swtor twitter account.

Look under code redemption.

Pretty sure we're seeing on that wave. No statements about whether it's bonus or last wave today. Sep 10 - Oct 1

Oct. 4th no go. Checked launcher and my account's code redemption.

I also prefer the yyyymmdd format for certain coding projects/sorting purposes.

The OP has been updated. But I think it was Aug 24 - Sep 9.

We need to make a youtube video of everyone sitting at their computers doing "the wave" while reading the SWTOR forums.

I would cross my fingers if I were you. It could be that was a slow pre-order period meaning more dates would be allowed in to meet a certain invite volume.

Yup. We'll see. I'm not optimistic it will happen.

Funny I was writing that as wave 3 went out. My guesses are based on a 17 day time span for each wave during this wave cycle. Looks like if Sep 9/10 is the cut off of that last wave then my numbers should stand for the last wave today.

I think the only chance us early Octobers would have is if there is a bonus wave or 2. I wouldn't hold out much hope for a bonus wave. It's not clear what drives that decision My guess is next waves Aug 24-Sep 9 Sep 10 - Sep 27 *?bonus?* Sep 28 - Oct 15

Yes. I would prioritize checking your account status or the launcher after each wave instead of waiting for the e-mail. I've experienced some long delays in receiving e-mails from Bioware before.

Best to not get too fixated on the dates at this point as the rate of preorder redemptions per day is unknown. My hypothesis is that the daily rate of redemptions is fairly consistent from mid-august through November (after that initial surge in july). We may be able to extrapolate based on the next wave what range of dates would be in the subsequent waves, assuming each wave is the same size (which is a bad assumption).

Roughly two hours apart give or take 20 minutes.
