28th Sept. Not going to hold my breath. =(. These forums helped a lot though. Can gauge when I'll get my email now (ish). Otherwise I'd have been staring at my inbox all evening (sad I know :( ). I'll still probably end up checking my email when the next wave comes out. Sheeesh. What has Bioware done to me.

It seems there doing about 2-3 days each wave and slowly implementing each wave. While the 7.26.11 ers are being invited now, I can only hope that the 7.27 ers are also invited in this wave so that wave 5 can have the 7.28 and 7.29. However it doesn't look like this will be the case.

 

I am predicting that the 7.28 and 7.29 wont get in until tomorrow. I am still going to be checking my E-Mail and Launcher even for hours after he fifth wave is announced because I don't think there E-Mailing everybody on the wave all at once. I've seen 7.26 ers about 20-30 mins apart from each other. (Then again that could be do to spam)

You're not the only one, I even refused the beta invites because I couldn't be bothered to play for 2 days and now I'm just refreshing my e-mail even though they haven't sent another wave :p

Sadly Even Though I Pre Ordered The game on about the 23-25 of july, I didnt get my code for over a week due to how the codes were distributed in canada

 

Aww, hope that's not the case. One of my good friends from Canada migrated from another game to here. I was hoping we'd get to start on the same day.

Quote from StephenReid:

 

At the very beginning of pre-orders, which started on July 21st, we had a massive influx of pre-orders. A huge spike. After that, things settled down. As a result, today especially, you're going to see a fairly narrow band of dates from those admitted to Early Game Access. From tomorrow, it'll spread out to a wider date range.

Hopefully this will calm-down some people :rolleyes:

Was wondering about that. One day of EGA and only 10 days of pre-orders given access (assuming they reach the end of July with the last wave). Maybe it won't be as grim as us later pre-orderers originally thought =)

If they plan on 4 waves per day, and 7 days...that's 28 waves. I'm not sure how many pre-orders they had, but if there were 1 million pre-orders, then divide that by 28 waves and you get: almost 36000 emails per wave.

 

Since they did get a bonus wave in today, if they can continue to do that it'll take less than 6 days to get through all the pre-orders.

 

These are only my opinion based on what's currently happened. It's quite likely that they have a set number of emails they are sending out that is larger than the above, and is higher than whatever value they computed vs. pre-order codes received.

 

Personally, I don't expect to be able to play until late this weekend. I got my code in on 11/15 according to the website.

Ya.. GameStop's, EB's, Best Buys, Future shops were all taking the pre orders before they got the codes since from how i understand it, in the U.S the codes were printed on the Receipt While up here in canada they came on a seperate Card that didnt come in till over a week or 2 later
