Every one gets at least a day of headstart

.....unless they don't

 

Everyone will be getting at least one day of Early Game Access - unless you pre-order on the 19th, in which case it could be less depending on the speed of your game download, etc. If you do pre-order less than a day before we end Early Game Access, you'll get access granted very soon after you redeem your pre-order code.

    I really hope I won't be THAT unlucky.

     

    Even though I pre-ordered and redeemed on Dec 8th...

    Only people who pre ordered this month or last should worry. Everyone else will probably get 5 days early.

    I hope you don't either. Thing is it seems to be going pretty well so I am not quite sure why they are preparing people for what I guess most would concide the worse case senario.

    Just wondering if you got this from an official source or if its speculation?

    Thanks

    Seems like speculation (albeit pretty reasonable).

    Anyone that get's a day must of pre-ordered very recently. I doubt that'll happen, I just hope I'm in Friday somewhat Early. I'm already starting to feel like this is an awful concept at its core. I still remember them saying Pre-Orders would be limited what a joke.

    Well if pre-orders are limited, then they still haven't hit that limit because you can preorder DDE still. 

     

    They've said over and over how the staggered launch would work. They even added 2 extra days (i'm assuming that's due to high demand)

     

    Just be patient. You'll get in the game. You'll get ot play it, and you'll forget all about this whiny forum nonsense.

    So i get a day, make a character, have to go on holiday the next day, loose my character because of no grace period (or type in my retail code, loosing 2/3 of my free month in the process), get to play in 2012.

    Great Job Bioware, THAT'S what I call early access!

    An update here http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?p=66561#edit66561 it's quite wordy so I won't paste it.

    tl;dr version lots of people pre ordered right at the start - we hope to ramp things up tomorrow and ramp it more on thursday.

    It's still a 'how long is a piece of string' question.
