CASLion Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Assuming the pre-order numbers tapered off exponentially and the pre-launch continues as successfully as today, some basic math gets the following ESTIMATES. 12/13 - July 21-27 12/14 - July 28 - Aug 10 12/15 - Aug 11 - Aug 29 12/16 - Aug 30 - Sept 21 12/17 - Sept 22 - Oct 17 12/18 - Oct 18 - Nov 16 12/19 - The rest ESTIMATE ESTIMATE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CASLion Posted December 13, 2011 Author Share Posted December 13, 2011 Should add this also assumes they plan on only giving some people 1 day early access, which I think they will do better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spetsnazos Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 if they dont let everyone in by friday, the storm will be huge. I gave up...this is pointless now. I wont be playing past the free month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therefore your numbers are way too conservative. 14.5% will get in each day. Orders before Oct 11th will get in on the 16th at the latest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaini Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I'm also betting everyone in by friday, If not, by saturday, tops. That's the good thing in 7 day -up to- time. (people still can't understand that one verse in the sentence)And I propably will be among the friday/saturday bunch. But, I can live with that. I've been waiting for this for a very long time. A few more days will not kill me, when I atleast know, I will beat the starting zones before the official release.My 2 cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toat Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I believe the last wave will go out and everyone will be in by the 18th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amarious Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 (edited) I suspect you are wrong, I highly doubt that they will leav people for the 19th. The whole purpouse of moving EGA from 5days before launch, to 7days before launch, was to give the people last in the far end of the que, at least some value for money when it came to EGA. It would be bad practice to call it EGA, and market it as extensively as Bioware has done, then give some people litterally hours of EGA before the offical game realse.

IronclawFTW Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 (edited) I'm guessing everyone will be in on 15th cuz I know stuff most people are too stupid to grasp.

I wont be playing past the free month. ARE YOU CEREAL?!?! You don't get in today, and it is 2 days earlier than they said they were going to start this, and you quit? You need to go and join the boy scouts or something, take a baking class, or basket weaving or something that requires patience man! To everyone who complains about not getting in, I hope your mother runs you over with her minivan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diora Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 your date ranges for the 14th, 15th and 16th are way too narrow. I imagine the graph of preorders vs. time looks like Angel Falls after about mid august. 14th will be 28 Jul - end of august15th will be the "dead time" - September and october, up till 11 november (ish)after that it will slow down again as preorders ramped up after the gigantic beta weekends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarakul Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I actually did some estimates early today, and then edited them during and after the announcement of the wave system Bioware is using. This is what I found, as well as my conclusions.http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=5685 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aww, muffin. You didn't get in before the game launched... YET. I don't think the game will need little morons like you who QQ when they don't get their way. You remind me of little kids who throw temper tantrums in the check-out line at the grocery store because they didn't get a candy bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelsoncit Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I suspect they will have everyone in by friday, I hate to think the weekend would be lost to everyone. My bets are Friday everyone willl be in. Or saturday by noon. If you thought todays raging was bad imagine the rage of the pre-order people who do not get to play by the end of this weekend.

Annjul Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Im sorry but on 15th all preorders should have possibility to log in, thats what info says "5 days of early access" not "UP to 5 days" ... i paid for sth. right?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
