Anyone remember Anarchy Online? That's what a truly bad launch looks like. We were joking that AO stood for Anarchy Offline because you couldn't even log in for most of the first month. Basically, take every launch stereotype and multiply it by 1000 and that's how its launch was. We have it easy at SWTOR.
Han shot first.

This isn't early access. This is launch, by BioWare's own admission. Retail stores get the boxes on the 20th, but the game is out. You can download the client, but you can't play because BioWare is exercising a staggered launch under the guise of "early access". Anyone can qualify for this early access. Go to GameStop or online to Origin and get a pre-release code. BAM! You're part of the club.

Welcome to the queue. You are ??? in line and you have approximately ??? hours until you can play the product you paid for.

Yes, I'm entitled to things I pay for. Social security, medicare, and this game. Origin has taken out $80 from my account. I demand access to the servers.
Oh my dear lord, do you really not understand what the EGA was? Do you not understand the launch date is the 20th and today-the 19th is just a bonus that no one was entitled to?

Please...PLEASE read what the EGA actually is, comprehend it, and THEN make a logical and educated post. Thank you.
If ever should your elders
Forget to say their prayers
Take them by the legs
And throw them down the stairs.

Nope, there are two separate charges. One for $5, one for $75. How can you see my bank statement!? HACKER!

You have brown on your nose, fanboy. I wouldn't breathe through it if I were you.
Simply because one criticizes the game doesn't mean that one doesn't like the game. In most cases, criticism comes from those who like the game but want to improve the game. Be less hostile to those who advocate for improvements.
Enough with the loot treadmills. Can we get something a little different?

Back when you bought the game you were outlined (unless you were too busy to read) how the EGA is going to proceed. It's going exactly as planned, it even started two days earlier.

It's not BW's fault you can't comprehend what you're reading.

You bought a game with the chance to play during the EGA for up to 5 days before the official launch. You got exactly what you paid for, no hidden meaning here.

I agree entirely. I think you misread my post.

Your response shows you should have read the post. He is talking about Wow not Swtor.
Cyborg Power Tech.
Pureblood Marauder.

Everyone dies. It is the final and only lasting justice.
