ziggyzagger Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Cuz of bonus waves. Pretty much sums it up right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sotapop Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 So what is to stop the game from crashing on launch day when EVERYONE is supposed to be able to play? Fact is, we paid money for the game, and were told we would get 5 days EGA. All of a sudden, you're gonna tell me I only get 4? It wouldn't bother me so much if BW hadn't given us a time frame, but they told us at least 5 days. You would have prefered server crashes with too many people in the beginner zones? So far this seems to have gone smoother than anything I've seen or heard of before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yotes Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Its confirmed Bonus Wave at 7pm EST. It's confirmed, you're a troll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andelwick Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 (edited) Because if they stayed 1 hr late to let the paying customers play that would cut 1 hour into their game they play for free. Edited December 15, 2011 by Andelwick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check this link and the graph out: http://www.swtordominator.com/ Considering that that site says that if you pre-order now you can start playing today I'm not going to place much faith in anything they say.

aivedoir Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Just got in a few hours ago, played on one of the "very heavy" server population, and so far the newbie planet is nowhere near as crowded as during the beta stress. But only Bioware knows the exact number of preorders for the past week, so I won't criticize their decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supeyfuper Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 pre-ordered Nov 26, Best Buy didn't send me the code till Dec 10, and that was after 3 rounds with customer service. Oh well, been waiting since they announced it, a day or 2 isn't hurting anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnalrah Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I bet there were WAY more pre-orders in the last week than any other week. Just because it is close to release people would sign up... who wants to spend $60 5 months before a game releases? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DireWolfalpha Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I guess I'm kind of lucky, my brother in law couldn't figure out what to get me for christmas this year and this last weekend he pre ordered my copy. I really don't mind having to wait a day to get in, that's if I get in on friday. It's not like I could have played today anyways... finials at college had me on campus all day... My brain feels like it's been sucked out thru my ear after that...LOL But like everyone else I like being informed on when I can get in, not this game of wait and check your email five or six times a day. Really during my math finial this morning one student was watching the twitter feed on his cell phone and checking his email everytime another wave went out! (local college with a major game design degree program) But that's to be expected when we have ID software, Reel Media and Gearbox software just down the street (like within ten miles of the college) But really, what's another day to wait... It's not like they said that everyone that bought pre orders would get in today they made it clear early on that it would be in waves. Laters.

Kazuhito Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Well let me play devil's advocate and say: Why do you feel entitled to the same amount of early access as me when I actually thought to pre-order in November? I am entitled to more early access then you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
