That's odd, they'll probably put out an update at some point. Or they're giving an extra 3 days to everyone.

Ohh I see it. Launch pushed back until ThursdayThursday

Precusor

Sounds good..

early access has always been from the 24th to the 29th on the 30th you need to sub or register game time, i dont get what the point of this thread is

xpsync

Not sure what's going to happen to people who bought box copies?

 

Pushed back the launch 2 days i hope they get this resolved.

Clearly, one of their major problems is too much traffic. Only more servers can help sort that problem out...how long does it take to add nodes to a data enter?

Could be weeks. It's not just flipping a switch like people here seem to think.

Its is, but you could always play until the 29th with an early access code

And how could you get one without having bought the game? Unless you dishonestly cancelled a pre-order.

The reality here is it's too dang popular. Not a huge problem to know you're not going to have shortage of peeps to play with. Frustrating though as i just want to play.

What? There are plenty of reasons why someone couldnt make it to gamestop or walmart or their box doesnt come in the mail for a few days after the game came out.

Not sure how it works here, but in TOR's case the extended EA was in place for thsoe who pre-ordered box copies, they were given a few days leeway to switch over from ea codes to retail codes (mail).

Agreed. This news does not make me happy. It just means that they really have no clue what is going on and no idea of how to fix these issues. The push back was not a gift to the players, it was a gift to themselves to give them more time to get a clue.

xpsync

Apparently they just updated that date today, it used to read the 27th until sometime today they snuck that in.

 

What it means who knows.

Anybody who has pre-ordered hasn't bought anything yet. Anyone who has pre-purchased on the other hand.....Just FYI a typical pre-order cost is $1-$5 depending on the place the transaction is being completed. Also that cash can be switched/refunded/cancelled at any time.

No, they always said that early accessers would have to register for reals by the 30th.
