Early Game Access* will begin on December 13th 2011 at 7:00AM EST (12pm GMT), and ends on December 19th, 2011 at 10:01PM EST (03.01 AM December 20th ). During this time, we will be emailing invitations to join Early Game Access based on the order in which you redeemed your Pre-Order Code. Pre-load the game client now, so you're ready to play when your Early Game Access invitation arrives. Note that download time can vary and may take awhile.

So we all got this email.  Here's hoping we also all get in at the same time (or close to it :D).

Edit: Yes I know this has been shoutboxed.

The Game officially launches on December 20th, 2011 at 12:01AM EST (Pacific: December 19th, 9:01PM PST; European: December 20th, 05:01AM GMT, 06:01AM CET). There will be no ‘grace period’ post launch in which those who are in Early Game Access will be able to continue to play the Game without completing the following required steps for launch:

1. Fill out your contact information
2. Set up minimum 3 - maximum 5 security questions to protect your SWTOR account
3. Redeem a Product Registration Code (This is different from your Pre-Order Code. Your Product Registration Code is the code tied to the official Game.)
4. Sign up for a recurring subscription or enter a Pre-Paid Game Time Code

You will have the option of completing these steps during the Early Game Access period so that you are ready to play upon the Game’s official launch.

Game Launches, people have ordered box, box doesnt arrive, developer gives x number of days free access after launch to allow people to receive box and get code and input code + setup subscription.  Thats a grace period.

Here's some good news - assuming all things being equal, and without any disasters occurring, we're planning on bringing up all the servers on which pre-imported guilds are being placed on Day One of Early Game Access.

From here:

http://www.swtor.com/community/devtracker.php (http://www.swtor.com/community/devtracker.php)

So that at least reads to me that we get our servers before anyone else, and then as and when we log in we do whatever we have to get into our home :)

I would have gotten the digital deluxe had it been on Steam. But I went with a boxed standard version.

I agree unless its anything to do with consoles/console ports/making things easy as thats where the money is/encouraging retards to get online and making the rest of us deal with them


I found this in the 'Withdrawal' thread. I seem to have beaten Jon at 'getting into HoJ'  ;)

Just spoken to my local GAME, and their head office.

As far as they're aware, they haven't been notified of the early access change. They still plan on making the game available to pre-orders on the 15/12/11. They did admit to receiving a number of calls about it so far though.

I've been told that if that changes, I'll get a text from their head office.

Also, the manager at my local GAME has only had two CE's delivered so far...

I'm not fussed about Malgus, I wants me some in-game lewtz!

Was thinking about sticking him on eBay to recoup some of the cost, but knowing me, I'll keep him and love him and cherish him...
