I'm guessing the ones still online are just lucky they haven't gotten bumped yet (or else, the Very Heavy it still is, are hung sessions no one can reconnect to). Always irritating to see 'server status is up', when you know it's not working and is on the way out if not already gone.

According to my swtor codes, I redeemed my preorder code on the 23rd July. Still haven't received my email, though hope springs eternal.
