Sekurity Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Again, It's on their pre-order advertisement. I think the keyword you are missing is "MAY." Meaning you may or may not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draperx Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I think the keyword you are missing is "MAY." Meaning you may or may not. I think you misunderstand the meaning of the word may. eg that should clarify I have 15 dollars total On day 1 of a week long bonus period I advertise: you may win up to 5 dollars !! by day 5, 3 people have won 4 dollars leaving me with 3 dollars I continue to advertise you may win up to 5 dollars !! (knowing full well i can never give you 5 dollars) this is pretty much Biowares Preorder campaign Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeAntony Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I think the keyword you are missing is "MAY." Meaning you may or may not. It's a pretty convenient loophole for sure. They sure covered their tracks just in case, i can understand why people get so upset though. Just try to see it from other peoples point of view, myself i will likely not play it till release but i would be happy for any early start.

CodnChips Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I registered my code on the 28th of July, and did not get an invite, Most likely getting it today (Wednesday the 14th of December) Just be patient. You will be able to play the game eventually. sorry to ask but did i not do it right? I did not receive the invite, but I did redeem on 8/10.

Taran_Tatsuuchi Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Heh, I don't expect we'll see any new news on this for several more hours at least But we can keep the discussion going. Coincidentally I had yesterday and today off of work, not due to anything I had done, just happened to be my days off for the week, but I don't expect to get in for several more days. While I pre-ordered the 18th of November I think, I wasn't able to input a pre-order code until the 7th due to being sent an 'already used' code from best buy and having to wait for a valid code through the support page.

Here's some of the threads you've recently started: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=14252 http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=14110 http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=14046 http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=12128 I understand that you're frustrated. We all want to play too. But quit trolling you're agenda by trying to use baseless allegations and conspicuous wordings off of an advertisement. You are clearly misunderstanding BW's intentions behind their methodology in implementing the early launch. Maybe you should go back and re-read the EULA and finally get it through to yourself that they have the right to make any changes they want in how they implement their IP, and by signing it (which you did upon creation of your account) you agreed to THEIR terms of service not the other way around.

Juki Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Sorry if this has been asked before, scanning 11 pages at 5:22am EST is a little out of my brains function at the moment. What is the possibility of them sending invites on Saturday and Sunday? I don't believe I have ever seen BW/EA announce/launch something huge on a weekend. I guess I am just worried that they will halt invites Friday night and resume Monday or everyone will be invited before the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
