HonorThyGamer Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Ordered it by the 9th because I needed to wait until Christmas. I only got to play the last weekend beta, so I wanted to make sure. I've bought A LOT of p2p games and never played past the one month of free time. I even tried WoW, multiple times even, but just couldn't get into it. After playing that weekend beta I made the choice to finally purchase the game, but I needed to wait a little while to get the cash. It's Christmas season afterall. I didn't know about the delayed access at the time. I'm hoping this will be the first game I stick with beyond the first month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deneok Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I preordered on the 3rd. I learned after playing MMOs since UO in 1997 to just take these things in stride. You'll get in, you'll have fun, you'll level 50. A year from now no one's gonna care or possibly even remember who got in on the 13th and who got in on the 19th. And a few of 13th players will have rerolled a half dozen new toons since then or even quit the game. I'm still enjoying Skyrim until I get my invite.

Keellz Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I've got you all beat. I ordered dec 2nd but won't play till Jan 2nd because my motherboard is being shipped to Indiana for repairs. And people were complaining about not getting in yesterday..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuning Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I wonder if we could bring a complaint to the the FTC and various state legal agencies about the misleading ads that EA had put up about the early access. As many of the posts complaining about the staggered releases state, people have been expecting to play much sooner than what is actually turning out to be the case. The FTC has in the past fine companies for such practices, though it has mainly been for false pricing. I personally don't see the difference between "up to 5 days early" and misleading "light" or "diet" food products. I suppose that I'm just really bored and want to play badly. But still, waiting this long is not making me any happier or less bored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iain_b Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I pre ordered the CE that day gamestop let us, knew nothing of the code or staggered access until the 9th, showed up to gamestop was given a pre-order code for the standard edition.... I hate you gamestop... The pre-order code has nothing to do with the version of the game you bought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siorac Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Friday hopefully. so I don't feel bad wasting money on preorder fee. Pre-order fee will be deducted from the full price. It's a deposit, a down payment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monadnock Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) I wonder if we could bring a complaint to the the FTC and various state legal agencies about the misleading ads that EA had put up about the early access.

But still, waiting this long is not making me any happier or less bored. Have fun with that. See, the problem here is that your "expectations" don't figure into this equation. They plainly stated that we play "up to" five days early. That, to me, says that I have no right to "expect" to play more than one minute on Dec 19th. People and their expectations make me laugh. BW and their team of attorneys have this covered, trust me. Edited December 14, 2011 by Monadnock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kovboi Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I was on the fence and finally ordered on Dec 12. Hoping I get in on Friday 'cause early access would kill any chance I have of getting any work done before then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inflnlty Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 We will all be in Tomorrow last wave or Friday at the latest. Lets hope, "Up to 5 days" still means Up to. But i'll be playing this game for months and months so those few days wont hurt hahahahha. But as a true lover to this game, the sooner the better.

ExZakty Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 The way I currently see the waves tomorrow will be something like this; Wave 1 - Up to around 25th October Wave 2 - Up to around 17th November Wave 3 - Rest of November and maybe December 1st Wave 4 - The rest of December This is just a estimate on how many they let in today, they could let everyone in on the first 1 or 2 waves, or maybe just October, you never know. Don't expect to be in tomorrow. I think We will all be in by the end of Friday either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnAntilles Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Dec. 8th for me, judging by how many they got through today, I imagine I will get in tomorrow. They got through ALL of August, ALL of September (though it was light), and into October today. I don't see why they couldn't get through ALL of october, november and MAYBE december, because it was prob. the lightest month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revial Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I think it's rational to expect pre-orders spiked up again in Nov and Dec due to the beta test and last minute shoppers. So I think it's a bit irrational to think just because they got through two months of pre-orders today, everyone else is getting in tomorrow. I think it's completely rational to expect everyone in by the day after tomorrow though (Friday). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't expect to be in tomorrow. I think We will all be in by the end of Friday either way. This is just about right on with my estimate based on today's entries. BioWare REALLY ramped up today's entries due to how much pressure they were under from the community (anyone who thinks it was the original plan is an idiot) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edavthrawn Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 December 11th here! Maybe I'll get in on the 21st for really early access. I'm firing up the steaks and the PBR to be ready! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulkBrogan Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Wow they finally fixed it so I can post. December 11 here. Starting to care less and less about it everyday... But then again I have the terrible taint of xmas shopping to preoccupy me. Anyone want to start a December based guild so we get to play with some people we know?
