Has anyone had any word about this ? Two days from the start of early access (from some) and there's nada, should we perhaps expect it Monday ? Or just try to log in on Tuesday.. |

I had an email last week with the client download link and also notification that invite emails will start going out on 13th Dec. Did you have that at least? If so, there won't be anything until Tuesday at the earliest depending on when you entered your early access key after pre-order etc etc. |

You don't get the email until whatever day you get in to early access, for example if you get in on the 13th you'll get one informing you that morning, if you get in on the 17th same thing goes. Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them. |

They said they will send an email on the day you get your access. If you ordered within the first week of pre-orders then your most likely to get in on the 13th. If you ordered within the last 2 months you might get 1 day :P

Appreciate the answers, I must've missed that tidbit of information when reading the pre-load email and such. I pre-ordered the day they started pre-orders, and finals end on the 12th..so fingers are crossed for the 13th !
That said, I do wish they would've emailed earlier, just so people could plan accordingly. |

13th is Tuesday, and I believe I read that it would start at 7am CST. |

One day of EGA for anyone is highly doubtly. During the stress test weekend, they had around 750k in 2 days time of staggering access. It was going to be done in 3 stages but was brought down to 2 stages because it went suprisingly well. They now have alot more servers for EGA and will front load more players instead of leaving it at the back end.
So it's not going to take 6 whole days to get 1+ million or so EGA players in the game. I just think it's mostly wishful thinking on the part of people that pre-ordered early to get as much time on thier given servers a greater head start on other players. |

If you played Nov 25 or later. You do NOT need to DL a new version. Just patch your current version. |

Thye will be opening new servers during EA and even after, so if you are planning to start playing 20th of December you can choose a fresh opened server without ppl lvl 50 already.
Everyone will get at last 2 days of EA. |

Early Access is based on when you registered the key with an account on the SWtOR site. So for example,my guildie bought and registered the CE on 07/21 so he will likely get in day 1(13th). I purchased on 07/21 but didn't realize early access hinged on registering (e.g. I thought all pre-orders got in same day, like most MMOS) so I didn't register until 09/18 (sigh..I had to go look at my registration date for this post...I thought I did it in August) so likely won't get in until Thursday or Friday at best. This staggered roll-out was my only real gripe with the game and it's release. I figure if folks order early, particularly those who pay $150 bucks for a CE should be allowed access from day 1. *shrug* Another long week ahead. At least I dashed my hopes of a miracle access on Tuesday or Wednesday NOW so I can plan my work schedule in advance. |

I put my code in the day that you could (20th of July or something like thay) and haven't got the email.
Though I did cancel my pre order so don't know if they keep record of the keys, not too bothered anyways I didn't like the beta. |

Everyone will get at least 2 days EGA. I predict almost 75% or more of the players who pre-ordered be playing by thursday. It all depends how each day the servers look like. It will be pretty fluid and not set in stone, which is the reasoning behind not giving people a few days notice on when they can play. Because it can and will change that day. |
