And lose their entire customer base in the process when people saw the charges appearing.

from the looks of it, you'd be lucky if they gave you your early access that soon after launch.

they announced for today they'd start at 8am cst, yesterday it was supposed to be 7, but wound up being more like 7:20. Hopefully since todays the second day, they've gotten their **** together, and will release more then FIVE *********** WAVES, especially when last night my buddy who got in was telling me almost all of the servers were under a medium-light load, with a few heavy and no ques. If the servers aren't being stressed, there's no excuse to not throw in more people. And switching the time announcement back to CST from EST is a little haphazard to, bioware needs to start getting *********** professional.

Kind of like how beta testing has become more about promoting the games in alot of cases rather then actual beta testing ?

Also the one very important thing about the scoundrel, you get to backstab people with a shotgun

True, and hopefully bioware learns from their mistakes and progresses the game forward in a good manner unlike how trion handled rift (aside from their amazing speed at churning out content updates).

yea... totally lucky they offered EGA, because it hasn't been a standard practice now with mmos for the better part of a decade.

Not to mention servers being down for literally days at a time lol.

No, you most certainly did not. May, and Will are two different words you should learn to differentiate.

One can hope, because I mean they planned to start at 7:00 am EST, but they sent out the first wave 15 minutes late. Maybe they'll makeup for that by releasing at least 15 more waves.

It's not really foolish at all, since they shot them off in pretty rapid succession at about 1 hour intervals. It's almost like they want to purposely piss off their customer base.

And once again, bioware shows us how new they are to the industry.

Early game access = launch, you must be new to the mmo scene.

Of course he's not going to admit if they ****ed up with the wave codes, no sane company (or company spokesmen) would dare risk angering droves of customers over their own flub. If you're really dense enough to hang on his every word, I've got some land over in Afganistan i'd like to sell you for the low price of $50,000, just go ahead and send it western union and I'll email you the title deed I wrote on a napkin.

lol, it's funny because people actually think the next expansion is a negative because they can't stop crying themselves to sleep over panda people.

This man hit the nail on the head, although I'm sure many swtor fanboys will come swarming out with feeble attempts to decry him.

Right now it's just a crapshoot, the waves seem to be random because I know people who didn't preorder till last week after I did that got in during the first wave this morning. Totally luck of the draw, totally ********. Bioware is the first company I've ever seen do a headstart like this, and the first wave of keys didn't even go out till 7:15 (really ? you're gonna be 15 minutes late on this day of all days). Anyway, I can bellyache all I want along with everyone else but it's not going to change anything, so go outside, or find something else to do and check back with the email periodically to see if anythings happened.
