I think someone who is going to level the way that that guy did is only going to level to max level and leave anyway. He will only depict a very small percentage of players. Myself, I will take about 9,000 years to get max level since I only have time to play a few hours a week

No it's not, they said UP TO 5 days early access, meaning that the earliest orders will get the 5 days, then later orders 4 days etc.

Yeah, apparently the volume of people allowed access today is far greater than yesterday. I also read that they are hoping to increase the amount for tomorrow too (this might have just been a dream though!). If this is the case though, with that, and the amount of pre-orders slackening after July, we could be in good stead for Friday....

27th November here. Ordered the game early August but didn't redeem my code until November because of sheer stupidity! Oh well, hoping to be in on Friday. Fingers crossed!

I can't believe I just clicked on this with genuine excitement. Burn.

I received the e-mail to redeem my code in August, but only read it quickly while in work and forgot all about it. Got reminded about it by my brother at the end of November so only redeemed it then. Not going to be in for a while now, silly me.

....but everyone didn't pre-order in July. I imagine that this was a factor when deciding on the Early Game Access route?

Stop flirting!

I suspect that's because the people happy with this are busy playing the game. Just a thought. You ordered the game to be allowed in on the 20th, you knew there was a possibility of getting in 5 days early, but only a POSSIBILITY. I only redeemed my code last month so I won't be in until day before launch most likely But still, not really a big deal, it's 1 more day of free play time than I was initially expecting. The way I see it I don't have an awful lot to complain about...

Can you book days off school now? Why are people booking days off work for what was very clearly marked as POSSIBLE Early Game Access?
