Calamityy Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 4 Waves of invites every day is what I heard. I'll be surprised if I get it by launch day. Seriously, the servers are not even full and they stopped for today. Sad face:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IAmYourGod Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 If Bioware stated that everyone will get in by 15th. I'd keep my pre-order, but even thinking about 19th.... not thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hydrott Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I used to be a optimist.. then bioware took a 18 hour break. hahah +1 to you my friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiftymh Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 The front page implies that people who order now have a shot at 5 days early and if they're going in order of pre-order that can only mean close to the 15th. That or they're totally blowing smoke up our butts to get people to preorder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcalyn Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Maybe I'm just an optimist, but for some reason I think everyone will be in by the 15th. They said that the majority of pre-orders were done the day it was announced. With that said, my hunch is that everyone should be in by the end of the day on the 15th. Maybe I just have faith in BioWare, they've never let me down so far. Whatever your smoking/drinking/licking or rubbing on ... I WANT SOME OF IT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to believe your'e right but I'd just be setting myself up for massive disappointment having activated my code on the 7th of december.

Rigsta Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I used to be a optimist.. then I took an arrow in the knee. FTFY. With this sentence, this post is now long enough to exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenofreak Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I used to be a optimist.. then bioware took a 18 hour break. See people, this is how you use a meme, cleverly with a bit of wit. Not just mindlessly repeating it. I think anyone who honestly expects most people to be in by the 15th is rather silly. Don't get me wrong, as someone who didn't order till November I'd like that, but I doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeviuosOne Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Stephen reid said "You are only promised 1 day of early access." http://twitter.com/#!/Rockjaw/status/146705008350609408 and we only promised to play for 1 month when we buy the game stephen reid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hikaie Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Yep. If you read my post where I broke it down logically using basic algebra you would have seen that everyone will be in by the 16th. I am so very sorry to be mean, but when I read this I couldn't help but picture extremely thick glasses and a pocket protector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vant Posted December 14, 2011 Author Share Posted December 14, 2011 no, you didn't read carefully Per Stephen Reid: Hey everyone, good morning and welcome to the first day of Early Game Access for Star Wars: The Old Republic! We're granting access based solely on when people's pre-orders were redeemed, and we're going to be granting it in 'waves' - large batches of emails and game entitlements that will go out over the course of today (and tomorrow, and the next day, and so on). I'll be updating this thread (and this post) as we send out more 'waves' of invites. So far today, we have sent out two 'waves' of invites; we will be sending more later on, but I cannot be specific on timing. (Why? Because as we invite each wave, we monitor to see how servers are performing and so on. If everything is good, we'll send a 'wave' earlier; we in fact sent 'wave 2' ahead of schedule. So cross your fingers.) Now, to the question you all have: when will you be invited? Well, I cannot be specific to individuals or even to dates, because again, we have to remain flexible. That said, I can talk a little about the pattern of pre-orders. 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. That's about as specific as we're going to get right now. However, as we send more waves I'll update this thread/post with more information. Thanks for your patience - we know it's been a long road, but you'll be playing before too long. Update: Wave 3 was just sent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JavaJawa Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Aren't they shutting down the old SWG servers on Dec. 15th? I would be inclined to say at least more like the 16th, to give them a day to prepare the new swtor list of servers, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReiperX Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 they did not say the majority of pre-orders were done the day it was announced you'll get 1 day and like it This. If you pay attention at all to preorder numbers, they have steadily gone up. But they didn't have 600+k in a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rohawk Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I am hoping things get sped up a bit tomorrow and they actually continue waves throughout the day. Also hoping the communication from BW/Reid is far better than it was today. Best of luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReiperX Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Per Stephen Reid: Massive influx =/= most preorders done that day. It simply means they had more preorders than they thought they would, and more that day than any other day. This was what five months ago, doesn't mean its most.

Wafflenator Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Considering I work 9-5, I was hoping I'd get access sometime on or before Friday so I get the weekend. Beyond that I don't care too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I just have faith in BioWare, they've never let me down so far. It's a good thought and it's not outside of reason that if you can pick up 10 lbs. no problem on the first try you may feel comfortable being a little more aggressive but honestly this is roughly as valid as the people contemplating sippoku because they are convinced they'll get in intime to see the 'server's will be shut down for maintenance in 10 minutes' message. Personally I share your optimism, maybe not so far as all by the 15th, but I think tomorrow will bring a much clearer picture of a timeline, well hopefully. I highly doubt there will be people logging in with less than 24 hours early time though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixiooo Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I used to be a optimist.. then bioware took a 18 hour break. I know I shouldn't have, but I spilled my orange juice reading this laughing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qazael Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I am hoping that it's all done by the 15th, many disappointed and upset right now. Would be rather nice to see them make it happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jigss Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 That will probably be the case as it is the only thing bioware can do to keep people from canceling their preorders and moving on. That is if they actually learned anything from today. Which is forced ques piss people off and introduce balance issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LtlMacMcG Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Well, seeing as they were advertising 'up to 5 days early access' as late as the first week of December....I would say any body who pre-ordered November or earlier should get in no later than the 15th. I'm no Lawyer, but if it can be proven they were adversising a 'potential' access that wasn't really possible they might find themselves in legal trouble if they aren't careful. It is for this reason I agree with you on the 15th NLT date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fardreamer Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Anyone who would cancel their pre-orders over this isn't going to stay around long enough to matter anyways. Just weed them out now.
