Topic says all, please consider this.

You can get Might Hilt and Resolve Hilt schematics from your crew skill trainer of choice, but afaik no Guardian Hilts or Force Wielder Hilts? Am I missing something? How is my Sith Jugg supposed to get his Lightsabre upgraded? Please don't tell me I have to BUY a Guardian Hilt first so I can RE it to get the schematics, so I can then mass produce them for REing to maybe get lucky to get blue or purple schematics to somehow keep my Lightsabre up to my level... PS: If this topic already has a thread, please excuse me, search doesn't work (again).

12.15.2011 Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ Early Game Access: Ready to play 11.29.2011 Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ Standard Edition Pre-Order See you in game

Seems the cut was made on the 28th. I'm 29th and I'm not in yet - but I will in probably 1 hour. PARTY!

29th Nov. here too Go next wave! Hopefully a friend of mine will also get in (Nov. 30th).

Screen or it didn't happen I bet you're just another troll...

11.29.2011 Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ Standard Edition Pre-Order Said it yesterday and I'm still convinced it's possible: except for the late December pre-orders everyone will be in the game by the 16th. Keep in mind Sept. 10th was included in the 3rd wave of invites today - so maybe we'll see Sept. pre-orders finished today.

You might be right and I might be wrong, or it could be the opposite. We'll see tomorrow - if September is finished or almost finished, I still believe EGA invites could be done by the 16th (and even 17th would be alright & awemazing). BioWare - you're doing it f-ing right!

They're just trolling, don't buy it.

Well, it's just my own theory and it looks quite accurate - but don't take it for granted. It's not that I can base my numbers on anything official But after reading some more threads (those with more thinking and less whining people) I kinda get the impression that many believe EGA invites to be finished by the 16th.

Just do the math... July preorders are about 250k afaik, total of something about 1 million I think. Today they (almost) finished July (latest info I got: they did 21st to 28th), so that's about 250k in 5 waves. 1 wave being 50k people. Tomorrow they try to invite even more people, lets say 6-8 waves --> 300k-400k people. We now have 550k-650k, or an average of 600k. Thursday, IF the servers manage it, the same amount of people get their invites. That's +350k. So on Thursday 950k people are playing the game. That could leave December preorders to finish by Friday the 16th.

I second that, and I give you some numbers for theory crafting: July preorders are about 250k afaik, total of something about 1 million I think. Today they (almost) finished July (latest info I got: they did 21st to 28th), so that's about 250k in 5 waves. 1 wave being 50k people.

That could leave December preorders to finish by Friday the 16th.

Preorder date means nothing. It's about when you REDEEMED your code. And it's always been "UP TO". People just need to stop whining and start reading properly... But if you like theory crafting, here's something for you: EGA invites could be finished by the 16th Here are some numbers: July preorders are about 250k afaik, total of something about 1 million. Today they (almost) finished July (latest info I got: they did 21st to 28th), so that's about 250k in 5 waves. 1 wave being 50k people.

Thursday, IF the servers manage it, the same amount of people get their invites. That's +350k. So on Thursday 950k people are playing the game. That could leave December preorders to finish by Friday the 16th. You happy now?

Well, only thing that would leave me some kind of mad would be if my copy arrives and I can't play - Amazon said it will arrive 15th-17th. We'll see [edit] Some more theory crafting: EGA invites could be finished by the 16th Here are some numbers: July preorders are about 250k afaik, total of something about 1 million.

Most accurate information I got is 21st to 27th of July. Keep in mind preorders had a HUGE spike in July. Tomorrow they gonna invite more people than today (same amount on Thursday also), so it will even out. My guess is that rest of July + maybe complete August will be done tomorrow. September maybe done on Thursday 15th. Leaves October, November and December for the official EGA period and would grant everyone who preordered at least 2 days of EGA - which at least I consider fine. Would have preorderd earlier if I had access to the Beta before the Beta Weekends - hell, I was signed up for Beta since I saw the game at GamesCom 2009...
