Greetings!
I am here to welcome you to the exclusive late-pre-orderers club! Yes, Yes! only for people who ordered post October! That's right! whatever your reason may be...perhaps you had already ordered two games (Skyrim and BF3) and the wife would allow no more game buying *coughcough*. Perhaps you wanted to try the Open Beta before putting down cash on another mmo. Perhaps you had money issues!
It seems we are the joke of the early game access - Perhaps we will get 10 minutes of EGA before full release? Don't be sad! I'm here to offer you entry to the exclusive late-preorder only club! that's right, I will also grant you status as *founding member* With membership may come some perks:
You may be eligible for 0-10 minutes EGA
You may be eligible for a special, exclusive real world item
you may be eligible for promotion after only 6 months of membership!
you may be eligible for an exclusive real world endangered white tiger!
That's right! don't delay! those who join first may get more rewards then those who join late!

dude they are apearantly hitting agust right now. the faily large spike is already over with. Most people who have preordered would have done so in the first week and we are past that.
Revised: application accepted! congrats!
im already in, wheter i like it or not.
Woohoo, I am one of those idiots ! I pre ordered on Nov. 30. Why you may ask. It was after I finally got into beta and enjoyed the game. I wasnt even planning on getting SWTOR until after testing it. Our nerd raging and crappy preordering skills should unite on a specific server. That way we could have a villiage of idiots getting to level 3 before it shuts down for launch!

Welcome to the club! as a founding member you may be eligible for all of the above rewards! check your mail daily because you never know when you may get one!
Oh come ON! He was just flaming! I want in 1st!
they had 900-1million maybe more pre-orders 900k boxed copies for sure... Their first spike was 277k ... they are dumb... It was only 25% at MOST of the pre-orders. If 900k US boxes were sold... I imagine EU box + Digital pllus US digital could see 2 million total... or more. So now that you see the big pictures... those 270k potential invites dont seem that big does it.
Everything I say is my opinion or personal preference. You may or may not find it useful to your cause but regardless I am entitled to it.
Haha, yes I'm one of those suckers that only pre-ordered after I played the beta. December 1st I think.
I was unaware I bought early access for maybe a few mnutes. had I known I would not have pre-ordered at all. But thanks for the title and the great thread!
Welcome to the club! application accepted!
Folks! unfortunatly we've meant our wave limit of new founding members for the day! please check back tomorrow as you may get accepted then and then you may become eligible for any of the said rewards!
OKAY!
I was here before him!
You work with EA and Bioware Customer Service don't you?
if thats true.
Then im now officially screwed:P
Geus il go play some BF3 :P
well im with you guys, ordered in late Nov because i wanted to beta test it first.
Please check back tomorrow, due to the large spike in first 10 minute founding member applications tomorrow we anticipate getting more people into the super-exclusive club!
10th/11th December for me, looking forward to my minute of early access.
I didn't preorder early because I was really waiting for D3 and GW2 and I wanted to test it. I played the last Beta weekend at the end of November. I liked it but didn't play it a lot. I mulled it over and over and decided to preorder at the last minute - like hours before the first wave. I'm not sure if they'll even process me. I preordered the origin digital download version and may cancel if it's possible, but only if I'm not in by friday.
I'm really hoping to get in friday but am not too optimistic. I was bummed that they stopped sending waves at 2pm though as I think they could have been into september by now based on the server populations.
Woot! I was like the 2nd of 3 ppl picked today. Doesnt that make me a colonal or something?

still no access
Sorry but the database pull tells me otherwise.
Folks,
I understand you want to join the super-exclusive club, it's been a long road to this moment and you will be allowed access soon!
The reason we only allow limited waves per day is we must monitor our members to make sure they don't put too much stress on the super exclusive club. We allowed more members into the club today then many clubs ever allow in!
Initially we had a large amount of applications into the club, we got through most of those today, then our applications evened out. Tomorrow we expect to get through many more applications to the super-exclusive club!
Dont' worry, even if you get access tomorrow you may be eligible for rewards still!

Most likely you'll be in the next wave. Probably won't be too long!
[Translation] {EA/Bioware Customer service jargon}: Maybe Tomorrow, if we feel like it and you don't actually show up. [End Translation]
Well at least that answers the question in a vague and deceptive way. Too typical for the parties involved though.
