This is ********. I'm sorry but I have played to many pre open games and this is got to be the worst idea I have seen. I understand the reasoning behind all of this but they over thought how bad it would really be. If the released every 2 hours or something to stop the stress on servers so be it but this is way over board. I guess long as I get my 5 days before pre launch of the game I'll deal with the cray stuff. Which would mean the rest of us get in tomorrow or demand money back.

 

Oh come on now. Just like me, you ordered later. For me late November.

 

I don't expect getting in tom... but Friday.

 

So what?

 

You are going to 'demand' your money back? Not too hard, as a pre-order isn't charged (or shouldn't be).. click cancel, if online, and your done.

 

That said... Why would someone let one day difference of access keep them from playing a game.

 

They are releasing it the way they are so they can monitor what they HAVE released over the rest of the day and night/morning. That prooves stable they release more, and monitor.

 

It's worked so far.. and they don't want to drop the ball now. So when he says up to last week of Nov.. I'm sure the metrics of people add up to the early 20's of Nov. That said, they could push another wave if they felt like it -- but they only did that the first day I think to get more of the JULY orders out. I really don't see why they would anymore , because they didn't today.

 

Either way, It's 2 days max from now. We now have a time frame. Makes it fine with me.

judging by the way they have handled the waves and judging by the way the talk .... if you are past nov 22nd (ish) your screwed until friday ... btw this is by far the worst EGA i have ever seen and I was in yesterday. Sick and tired of hearing people complain because there friends arent in and not enough players... Just let everyone in.

im hoping not lol :)

 

ROFL! Whatcha think the last X amount of pages were about? :)

 

But, yup if you are October to about 20th of Nov. you are pretty much in. Any later, you are on the edge. December doubtful unless they decide to go all in tom. And, I don't see why they would risk it.. unless Dec. really is a small number.

Today, we invited people who had pre-ordered up to the very beginning of October (roughly). Tomorrow, we're going to be inviting the same number of people again; that will take us up to the last week or so of November. On Friday, we'll be inviting even more, and we'll give you an update on that tomorrow

 

Well, thats nice, since my preorder is Sept 17 and not received mine. I guess because I'm red zone we don't get the same right to pre-order access as everyone else even though we paid more for the game.

 

Typical, but I forgot we don't exist in the world according to EA (but our money does)

They have been pretty good about not over extending their statements, so I'm optimistic that all of November will be in tomorrow. He states, "that will take us up to the last week or so of November". If they weren't planning on letting all of November in he would have said mid-November...just something to think about for all you last weekers...I'm personally on Nov. 30th so my fingers are crossed for the best!

According to my math they have given just under 500,000 of all pre-orders EGA already. Approximately 100,000 were given EGA on day 1 and approximately 400,000 received EGA on day 2. This means just under half of all pre-orders have already been given EGA.

 

 

 

EGA - Day 1 Estimated Invite Total = 119,260

 

07/21/11 - 07/23/11 = 19,324

07/24/11 - 07/30/11 = 99,936

 

 

 

EGA - Day 2 Estimated Invite Total = 344,253

 

07/31/11 - 08/06/11 = 84,671

08/07/11 - 08/13/11 = 60,993

08/14/11 - 08/20/11 = 36,726

08/21/11 - 08/27/11 = 32,680

08/28/11 - 09/03/11 = 25,452

09/04/11 - 09/10/11 = 26,355

09/11/11 - 09/17/11 = 16,778

09/18/11 - 09/24/11 = 23,221

09/25/11 - 10/01/11 = 37,377

 

 

Given that the numbers are not exact I would put the estimate of current EGA players at 463,513. The fact that almost quadruple the amount of players from yesterday were given EGA today makes me almost positive that all pre-order customers will be in by Friday at the latest.

 

 

EGA - TBA (to be announced) = 475,845

 

10/02/11 - 10/08/11 = 54,709

10/09/11 - 10/15/11 = 30,283

10/16/11 - 10/22/11 = 57,573

10/23/11 - 10/29/11 = 48,732

10/30/11 - 11/05/11 = 43,779

11/06/11 - 11/12/11 = 54,543

11/13/11 - 11/19/11 = 72,708

11/20/11 - 11/26/11 = 74,916

11/27/11 - 12/03/11 = 15,734

12/04/11 - 12/10/11 = 22,868
