Sarrin Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Bought pre-order: July 21 Redeemed pre-order: July 22 Status: not in-game Conclusion: flawed system is flawed. e-mails should not be going out last minute. it would of been better to just say "if you redeemed between these dates...expect a invite sometime the first day".

Crash-X Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 For those who pre-order in July first 5 days will probably get in today( about 200k people) they said alot of ppl will be invited today gradualy sending waves of invite( im not sure about the interval) but i heard its ea 4 hours( can any1 confirm this?) this is my opinion No I can't confirm but for a game that has over 1 million pre orders, they should let more than 200K in! At least double that, half a million. 200K out of 1 million plus is not very large! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vengillian Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 heh, redeemed 7/21 within a short time of my bud, he is in and I am not. He preordered online, I did not. heh, I sense a bit of something here I sense the Force teaching me a painful lesson in patience.... I just so excited to get started! And I am also hating on every email i get that isnt from Bioware right now.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slaveteri Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 my thread here http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=531 got closed and redirected here, so continuing discussion here. mrzappy, i'm waiting impatiently, too. Got my pre-order code entered on day one, but about an hour after my Husband did. So i'm letting Him do the refreshing of mailboxes and i'm just goofing off here reading threads.

Zoei Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I am glad they are doing waves personally. There is nothing worse than 500 people all trying to do the same quest at the same time. I'll wait my turn for a better experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todaz Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 You have people that order, when it first came available who didn't get in. I have a buddy who order last week who already in. So I'm not sure what there looking for. They should give dates, If you order before this time your in. Or send out email telling people when there going to have early access. So they know . People are all about knowing . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnite Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 can the mods start banning the trolls that are spreading the misinformation about getting in even though they pre-ordered after 7-21-11? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiron_Raptor Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 How about they are prepared for this. Most people only expected to get in on December 15th onwards. They are doing folks a favor. I am not sure if you are used to MMO launches but a lot of times folks can't even play because servers are overloaded and crashing because everyone is trying to swarm in at once. They are completely prepared for this.. its just some of you are being inconsiderate entitled babies about it. I've been waiting for this game since Galaxies died. I can't really afford to spend the money to buy it but I'm doing it anyway. And I woke up at 6:45 am and I'm NOT a morning person, and can't get back to sleep. I'm tired and cranky to begin with, and then don't get let in when my friends, who preordered a mere day before I did, do. So yeah, you can bet I'm upset.

Grave-tm- Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I am waiting and drinking coffee hoping to get my email in the near future. I like the fact that they are staggering it. Makes sense to me. Don't want to overload the servers then nobody gets to play. Slow acceleration is a brilliant idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, that server's getting several 400+ Scandinavian guilds, so it's going to be pretty huge. Suspect it'll become *the* unofficial Scandinavian server. - Elim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camasi Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Yeah on relative terms but on absolute terms 200k is a lot. You must also keep in mind that a lot of people are at work, still sleeping, taking finals, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gyron Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 (edited) It's probably less important when you preordered and more important about which server you're on. So if one server has no one who ordered in July by some weird coincide, then some of that later orderers will get in.
