    They havent said the games release date, and they havent said the date on the early access because people will take it was a confirmation of when release will be, from what I know, CE gives you 7 days early access and the SE gives you 3 days of early access. So when we hear about the release date you can prolly figure out the early release date

    Mess with the best, Die like the rest

  • you won't know when early access will start until you know the release date because they have said it won't be that much ahead of the release date.

    What is involved in the Early Game Access program for those who pre-order the game?



    What happens is you redeem your pre-order code. Depending on when you redeem your pre-order code, you'll be put into Early Game Access. It is essentially a head start program that will happen a certain time period before the launch of the game. We're really not talking about that timeframe yet, although we did say it will be days or weeks but certainly not months. It will be in line with similar MMO launches. The idea there is to help us get people in and get them through the game to make sure we don't have an incredibly fraught launch day, and we don't try to put every single person in at the same time. It is pretty standard. From the consumer point of view, all they have to do is redeem their pre-order code.

    that is actually incorrect.  they have said what edition you preorder has no effect on how long you get. its completely based on the when you register your pre-order code on the official site.

    edit: stephen reid mentions it at about 2:30

     It's no matter what Edition you pre ordered. All get the same Early Access :


    "Greetings Humanoid,


     


    I am Protocol Droid ####, Human-Cyborg relations.


     


    I have received your transmission.


     


     


    We can confirm that there is no longer any need to amend the code attached to your account. Any code applied to your account will grant you access into the Head Start program.


     


    Please do not be concerned if when going into the ‘My Account’ section the edition listed there is incorrect. When you receive your product code at launch and apply this to your account this will then grant you all relevant in-game items that are associated with the version that you have purchased.


     


    For a list of all in-game items associated with pre-order versions, please visit: http://www.swtor.com/preorder


     


    Galactic support is our specialty...


     


    Sincerely,


     


    Protocol Droid ####

    What i know, the order you reedem your code is the order yoyu recieve Early Access:

    They confirmed Holiday 2011 and it has been confirmed by 2 executive producers of the game. So, hopefully November 29th, 2011 is the early access date and the launch date will be like December 3rd or something. That would be awesome.

    With Beta weekends in September, I'm thinking it's more likely in October.

     So ypu pre-ordered, whoopity-dee-doo.  Feel special and deserve a cookie or something?  Pre-orders are nothing special and in fact a good way to trick customers., i.e. Rift where many pre-ordered yet never played the game because in Beta they saw it nothing different than WoW.
