My two cents, to avoid any legal matters BW will let everyone playing the game by tomorrow... Wave 3 just came in and people till 11 september are going through in the French community
You are so right. This is the main point of the endless complaints players who pre-ordered have, not the up to 5 then up to 7 days extra playing. A stupid vague timetable would have been enough. EA/Bioware has created artificial frustration among the community and I don't see any valid argument to support such a policy.
Especially when EU servers are desesperatly empty... (talking about EU players of course)
People who can't play are frustrated and people who can play have a mixed feelings experience. So I'll give a C-
