I feel ya pain.. Im as big of fan as anyone of SW. signed up to tha site 2009 soon as i heard about the game + reg for beta. played as much of the beta as I was granted and filled out as many bug reports to help the game run smooth at launch.
BUT
all because I didnt have the money when they demand it i dont get to play early..
i didnt put in my code till early in Dec so im guessing i might get 1 day free play, im annoyed but not much i can do.. just gonna sit back an watch the forums till i get that magical email
