Dragonfell Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 8-6-11 here I am hopefull for today and this is why there is a dev post out there that hints that the order the big beta weekend invites went out is the order early access will go out, my freinds with earlier pre orders than my wife and I got in on the weekend the day before us. Those same freinds all got to start yesterday, so its extremly logical that all of us august people will get in today. I would also like to add that they are inviting nearly twice as many people today as yesterday and here is a copy of the post from the devs as evidence of said logic. Be hopefull fellow augusties!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Originally Posted by Aurainsoph Hey everyone. We absolutely understand you want to get in and play the game early. It's one of the reasons we expanded our Early Game Access from a maximum of five days to a maximum of seven days. However, there are a couple of important points to realize about today's opening salvo of invites, and the procedure in general for Early Game Access and launch. First, Early Game Access and launch is not supposed to be a stress test. In our previous Beta Testing Weekends we got up to very large concurrent number of players and brought invites into the game at a very high rate. That was done to stress test every aspect of our systems and servers, and essentially to see if they broke. In some cases, they did, but that helped us improve for launch. For us, launch isn't just about stuffing our servers with as many people as possible. As anyone who's been through a large MMO launch can tell you, that experience can be painful. Our aim with this launch was to ramp things up gradually, to spread our player population out amongst a variety of servers, to maintain all server types, and to keep queuing to a minimum (although we expect that to happen as we head towards December 20th). So far, all that has been successful for us on Day One. The second thing to realize is scale. We invited more people to play Star Wars: The Old Republic today than many other MMO launches manage in their entire head-start process. As I mentioned earlier today, when we opened pre-orders we had a huge spike in numbers - far more than most MMOs capture at launch. That was the initial rush. After that, our pre-orders settled down. What this means is that tomorrow, you'll effectively start to see the pre-order timeline expand. You'll see people who have pre-ordered later than July getting invites. The day after that, more people will be invited. We're actually planning to invite more tomorrow than today, and invite the same number again on Thursday - at which point we'll be into the original 'five days of Early Game Access'. Last thing. Why aren't we continuing to send waves over time? Two main reasons - one, because we need to see that the servers are maintaining stability over time; adding a lot of players in a short period (in other words, stress testing) can cause stability issues. Two, our plan is to continue to add servers - but carefully, and in response to demand. We need to monitor that demand and role out servers accordingly. A long-term recipe for MMO failure is to add a lot of servers early on, and then when population decreases, have to close those servers and merge them together. Our aim is for Star Wars: The Old Republic to be around for a long time to come. Today's just the first step in that - an early step, too - and we'll be running smoothly, with a stable population, before too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xFREYx Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Dude, you'll get in. Did anyone not ready how they are increasing the invites MASSIVELY today on Rockjaws twitter, not to mention that the first week was the heaviest Pre-orders then it slowed down for a few months.... So, my guess is still all of August today. hope you right mate, cant wait to start throwing my lightsaber round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JadenKayne Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I got in this morning, Japan time so evening in the USA on the 13th. Pre-ordered in August, I think (when it was first announced). I cancelled it in October but then re-ordered after beta testing. Go figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
