24th myself here and like many i've not really hoped for it before tomorrow but i've got tired of reading people saying that now, so im going to pretend theres a chance today and be excitedly checking my emails all day until i go to bed :D just incase.

 

I understand how people are trying to predict which dates are getting selected for which waves, but there might be a period say late aug where they have little numbers pre ordered and if they are dishing out the same amount each wave then perhaps theres a chance they hit us at the end of sept.

 

I think im clutching at straws a bit there but i hope it's brought a bit of hope to all you excited people itching to log in now :D

 

Information on pre-order statistics is available online at VGstats. While those don't include the online pre-orders (so far as I know), they do provide a pretty good indicator of the overall pattern in pre-orders.

 

Based upon that, Wave 1 today is already TWICE the size of any of the waves yesterday.

 

Assuming they can keep pace with that, that's a very good sign for September pre-orders. Based upon yesterday's pace, we would expect to get in on Thursday, but DOUBLING the rate at which they're letting people in means we have at least a chance of getting in later today.

 

Think of it this way:

 

September 1st: There are ~120,000 people ahead of you in line.

September 30th: There are ~240,000 people ahead of you in line.

 

Day 1 invites were roughly 50,000 per wave. First wave of Day 2 had roughly 100,000.

 

Make of that what you will.

Sept 16th, not expecting much today, but one can hope. Nice to finally see a thread with realistic gamers. Personally, I feel any day I get in before the 20th is great, and still "early access" in my eyes. I hope you all get in soon and enjoy this awesome game.

I will say - as I mentioned yesterday - that today the 'timeline' of people who get in will be much, much longer. Beyond July...

 

A shred of hope? :rolleyes:

 

Don't get your hopes up, I'd say. "much, much longer" is very subjective, and can basically mean anywhere from 2 days to 2 months.

 

Besides, it's nice being surprised.

Hey guys, would you mind clarifying something for me? My account dates my pre-order at 9.28.11, but my Early Game Access (ready to patch) at 11.02.11, right around when I signed up for testing. Do you believe they'll take my pre-order date as when to invite me, or the later November number? Later would be a bummer, but oh well.

reached end of thread. figured its my turn > Sept. seems to be looking pretty good as many Aug. pre orders were made early in Aug. If wave 2 reaches out to about the 22nd of Aug. or so then everyone Sept. should have a great chance for today.. (imo). May the for be with you!
