GrndAdmrlVegeta Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 For those of us who didn't shell out the extra cash to get release-date shipping on our physical copies of the game, are we going to be locked out of the game when early access ends until our copies of the game arrive in the mail?

SithCrash Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 No, I'm pretty sure that the Early Access FAQ said that the client you install during EA is the launch client, and you don't need to reinstall when you get your physical media. There is absolutely no reason for them to force a reinstall, if the EGA client gives you full access. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sXekid Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 You won't need to reinstall the game. But you won't be able to play it after Early Access from midnight until you enter your code. Sorry mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daederik Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 You'll be cut off come the 20th I believe (launch date) if you don't have the product code put in on your account. I don't know about timings, but there is a possiblity I'm sure of you having some "downtime" because of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tifaia Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 (edited) Hopefully this portion of the pre-order/early access FAQ will help out: http://www.swtor.com/preorder/faq#q209656 There isn't a grace period from Early Access to the Official Launch that will allow you to continue to play while you wait on your copy of the game in the mail. All we need is the code, but no retailer would break into a box and give it out willy-nilly without serious consequences. Unfortunately, you'll have to wait like others have said. I'm in the same boat too. I just can't say no to free shipping. But at least you have Early Access. ^^ Edited December 13, 2011 by tifaia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrndAdmrlVegeta Posted December 13, 2011 Author Share Posted December 13, 2011 Bummer. I guess I'll have to spend the time with family and doing other lame things instead of playing Star Wars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rengrave Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I'm pretty sure I read that the pre-launch code you get for early access is good till the 31st of December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peroxide Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 they've already stated that Early Access ENDS Dec. 19th at 10pm EST Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
