That is an opinion. My opinion is that im getting ripped off of a launch day experience. You say you have never had one of those, let me tell you the initial mass of people running around is awesome. Now we get to see 5-6 in each zone because they don't want to fill the servers.

Please don't comment about missing something you have never experienced.

For the idiots who say launch is the 20th - http://www.swtor.com/community/showt...?p=286#edit286 Devs say otherwise.

Okay, whether you believe he's in the right or not, this is poor community relations. As someone who has worked support, this would have gotten me fired.

Even if you ignore a customer's issues, you never verbally marginalize it. Never.
I cheered when my friend read me this tweet. He is much nicer than I would have been. The uproar from people over the past couple of days has been ridiculous. Reading the forums has made me angry at the nonsense people have posted.

BW should have restricted posting to those who got the invite only and/or banned those who complained. That would have shut people up fast.

Let's all act like the responsible adults we are and be classy online. Why join the rest of the trolls?


By the way, I agree that the twitter post was definitely okay to post. Not playing early is not an issue. Period.
It is a multiplayer game. People want to play with friends. And since it is a level based game some will be lv 30-40 when the last players gets invited. This means you will not be able to do low/mid level content with them. And you will have to wait til lv50 before you can play with them. And some also want to compete to get server firsts...

If it was a single player game or a game without levels there would be no problem. And it would be silly to complain. But for a MMORPG a staggered release is not the best way to release the game, IMO.

If it is your first MMO you may not recognize such problems. But perhaps you can think about it.

According to my math they have given just under 500,000 of all pre-orders EGA already. Approximately 100,000 were given EGA on day 1 and approximately 400,000 received EGA on day 2. This means just under half of all pre-orders have already been given EGA.



EGA - Day 1 Estimated Invite Total = 119,260

07/21/11 - 07/23/11 = 19,324
07/24/11 - 07/30/11 = 99,936



EGA - Day 2 Estimated Invite Total = 344,253

07/31/11 - 08/06/11 = 84,671
08/07/11 - 08/13/11 = 60,993
08/14/11 - 08/20/11 = 36,726
08/21/11 - 08/27/11 = 32,680
08/28/11 - 09/03/11 = 25,452
09/04/11 - 09/10/11 = 26,355
09/11/11 - 09/17/11 = 16,778
09/18/11 - 09/24/11 = 23,221
09/25/11 - 10/01/11 = 37,377


Given that the numbers are not exact I would put the estimate of current EGA players at 463,513. The fact that almost quadruple the amount of players from yesterday were given EGA today makes me almost positive that all pre-order customers will be in by Friday at the latest.


EGA - TBA (to be announced) = 475,845

10/02/11 - 10/08/11 = 54,709
10/09/11 - 10/15/11 = 30,283
10/16/11 - 10/22/11 = 57,573
10/23/11 - 10/29/11 = 48,732
10/30/11 - 11/05/11 = 43,779
11/06/11 - 11/12/11 = 54,543
11/13/11 - 11/19/11 = 72,708
11/20/11 - 11/26/11 = 74,916
11/27/11 - 12/03/11 = 15,734
12/04/11 - 12/10/11 = 22,868

Stepehn Reid is right and the launch has so far been a succes story. there will always be haters and haters always visit forums more than people who are pleased, cause they are busy having fun.
Beta launched 20.12.11

can you make sword in box light sword so sword come out when opened? then if sword is back after sword, use light saber on box, and saber will be boxed after sword is out.

I can make up random estimates too... watch

First day - 10 people
2nd day - 58 people
Thus it is likely everyone will play by February because they are inviting 5X the number of people each day. Since i declare there are 2.742642 million preorders.

How did i achieve these numbers? same way you did... pure speculation.
