Made lvl 16  before they forcibly removed me from the servers and shut them down.  I started to feel like I did back in 1999 when Everquest came out. 

This weekend was really fun!

I can already see that I am going to need to closely control my game time, or else my wife might start getting the feeling she had in 1999 when Everquest came out and actually divorce me this time.

Anyhow, I'm currently guilded up with some friends from SWG, but let me know what server you guys end up on and I will come visit.

What I would like to do is provide a little bit of update on Star Wars. One of the things that we did this past holiday weekend was proceed with a very large scale beta testing and rollout for Star Wars. To be more specific, we had 731,000 unique people play the game over the weekend and
we peak concurrent users just above 250,000.

Wow. Having said that, in the US alone, they topped 900000 preorders, and that doesn't include digital copies or outside the US...

Xmas bonuses all round then. And more importantly, more dough to throw into new content down the line. It's gonna be awesome!

The only think i'm worried about is that pretty much only 1/4 of the pre-orders played the beta yet all servers were rammed with queues. Launch will probably be at least 3 times busier you'd have thought. Staggered launch will help, but when it gets to the 20th it's going to be a disaster zone. I just hope they got enough from this beta to deal with it.

I think they did. They were pretty rapid at getting new EU EN servers up. I think it was us Brits that caught them by surprise. Only one EU EN server must have meant they didn't expect much from us. I think there were about 10 or so EU EN servers by the time beta was over.
