Hmm maybe, but I'd venture to say digital was roughly the same percentage of total pre orders each week. I doubt it fluctuated much more during the first week or two, but possibly during the last few due to the distress over shipping times.

Agreed it's all speculation, but I'm guessing since release dates/pre order dates were announced simultaneously worldwide, the human nature of those nerds outside of the US is fairly close to those inside the US. And the physical US/digital US was probably the same ratio the whole time. So although the number is drastically low, I'd say you can still gauge pretty well by it IMO. The main things affecting early access isnt so much the exact number, because we will ALL be in within 5 days I say, so X amount devided by 5 is gonna be at the same rate, just larger/smaller numbers. The thing affecting it is when you pre ordered and how active were the pre orders through the weeks before and who has gotten in already.

Yeah I'm pretty sure they added 2 extra days so they could avoid the rage from those getting one or less. Count on this all being done by day 4 early access.

Food for thought, and a site to keep you entertained with pre order info and whatnot while you stress out on if you're gettin in. http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?p=133883#post133883

Too lazy to type this up again, but here's some food for thought I did: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?p=133883#post133883

You're right, and I'm mostly posting lowball numbers so people can assume the worst and be happily surprised. They extended to 7 days so nobody would get 1 day early access i assume. All groups i bet will be in with minimum 2-3 days, so that leaves 940k (US Physical) devided among 4 ish days, maybe 250-300k a day invited. But thats also assuming all of those people even put in the pre order code, lots of people dont even go to SWTOR.com so, who knows.

VGChartz tracks data by week, counting only US Physical Pre-Orders. If you start on this weekend http://www.vgchartz.com/preorders/40762/USA/, the first where you can see data on SWTOR pre orders ending Aug-6, there are 203,000 physical US pre orders. Now you can scroll right using the arrows by the week listing, and notice the change in pre orders. Assuming that digital+Euro orders all increase at the same rate, you can go ahead and speculate when you'll get in. They ended around the 27th of July, im assuming the heaviest pre order period was just done, so around 100-150k were invited. Listening to http://www.swtor.com/community/showpost.php?p=66561&postcount=6438you can see they plan to invite AT least the same amount of people tomorrow probably more. So I'd scroll to where pre orders = 300k, and if you ordered before that weekend date, you may have a chance for tomorrow, if not, hang tight. I'm guessing they push to the 400k mark, mid september pre orders, you can see the first few weeks you scroll through are around the 20-30k increase per week, so they can invite a group spanning a longer time frame. Whereas if you ordered end of Oct-December, some weeks increase by 70k+, so smaller time frames will be let in. Now please, do some math in your brain, speculate for yourself with some educated guesses, and let it give you peace enough to relax and not flame the devs while you are anxious. GL to all, I'm a pre order on 29th of Sept, so if they dont pass the 430k physical pre order mark tomorrow, im out of luck till the next day most likely. EDIT: Think in PERCENTAGES people, the exact numbers don't matter, and just assume euro/digital orders increased at the same rate as physical preorders, because they probably did. EXAMPLE:Guessing we hit the 150k mark on the site stats with the first day of early access. 150k is about 16% of the total number on that site. So say 16% of the actual number got let in on first day. Say they try 25% tomorrow, 25% is 235,000 of the 940,000 total number on that site. 235,000 second day + 150,000 first day = 385,000 mark, now find where that is for weekends by scrolling over. My prediction, all those ordered up to 10th of September get in tomorrow off that data. Bet I'm close. Some quick data: Total Physical US Pre Orders: 939,358 Guestimated end date of invites for first day: July 27/28 Larger load granted tomorrow + following day http://www.vgchartz.com/article/88591/usa-preorders-chart-10-december-2011-old-republic-nears-1-million/ Someone should write the data points and make a full sized chart and link it, <3
