Well... awesome but imo this can screw some early content I know not everyone ordered in july. Hopefully it's not too scattered where ppl play the 13th and others 18th or that far a part. Don't want ppl to get in game and be at 50 in a few days:D Not that anyone's going to lightspeed through that quickly

Sounds to me they extended it due to the amount of preorders and MANY pre-ordered due to the weekend betas in November and don't want to give ppl the most days early access that's reasonable. I mean 1 mill physical copies alone have been pre-ordered.

On the plus side, everyone gets a couple extra days now that EA is 7 days long, so that's cool.

But like you said, hopefully we're not spread out too far apart, and that we all get a chance to group up early on.

Even if they didn't change the date, I don't think I would've seen the end of SWG. I've had no temptation to log in since playing TOR lol.

Well that's what I hope, they will get everyone in by 4 days with 2 extra days for summer orders maybe. I preordered in august but didnt redeem code until October. My bad. So I don't need to play all 7 days frankly wont have time during a lot of the week anyways but just don't want there to be like 2 or less days for some people not really EA like

Yep, I agree. Actually, I haven't had any temptation even before I tried TOR. I thought I would really want to be there for the end when they announced it during summer but now I'm like "meh"... over it.

It ended for me when LXB ended there. Part of me would like to see the official end but... rather look forward to a new beginning in TOR.

I actually logged into SWG a few days ago and i felt the same sinking feeling i had when the Intrepid community died. I think i'll just watch the Giant Bomb live stream to see how the game ends.

jeez... next week? how i am suppost to survive this weekend... i was looking to prepare myself a few more days... GAH!!! LET ME IN!!

Guild Program question.. we still get a mail about the server we will be playing? i wouldnt be happy if i start a Char just to get told "upps other server"

From BW, "The good news is that effectively everyone is being given two 'extra bonus' days as the EGA program is now up to seven days long. The bad news is unfortunately we cannot let people know on an individual basis when they will gain access until we are ready."

If that's true, and he really means EVERYONE - then if you assume they were going to stagger access times until last day of EGA, EVERYONE gets 3 days minimum EA. Maybe more. So I'm thinking it's likely most ppl get 4-5 days... but 3 days minimum for anyone who redeemed their codes late.

Which frankly, even if I could play 13th/14th I wouldn't have much time with work.

Also Nobody, they're planning for guild import servers to be up 13th. Get email before EA begins.

BTW from twitter/rumors it's very likely all pre-orders will be in by 5 days before launch if all goes well tomorrow/Wednesday. Just MY hunch anyways

I will explode.

Tomorrow emails are sent ay 7am CST throughout the day, so not everyone gets in exactly 7am. Besides it's a Tuesday most ppl are working then anyways

If you didn't redeem your code until September+ it's very likely you do not get in tomorrow. But that's not stopping me from checking anyways

Got my earlier access email this morning. Now I have to spend the next 12 hours trying not to think about it as I work/spend time with the wife (aka: work too). Ever try not to think about something? It don't work.
