I must say I do not think the speed advantages are worth the credits... I was not going to get the 3rd rank (310,000), but when i dinged 50 and got my final set of training i accidently bought the licence, so I had to get the Dark V speeder (99,000). I think the speeder differences dhould be much greater for the price tag, I feel it should go... Rank 1: 90% faster than walking Rank 2: 120% faster than walking Rank 3: 150% faster than walking Maybe then I won't feel as ripped off.

Yes. You registered your retail code and you will get access to the game for 30 days, once that is over you need to add an active subscription or buy game cards.

Dude, You are not going to get a reply here to help. I suggest tweeting them (@SWTOR) or contacting them via the form on the fire. Only the Customer Service Team can resolve your issues.

You will get an email from the site, once you have pre-order access. This access over rides the game registration code, thats not valid until the 20th, the release date. You may get an invite today as it seems people who pre-ordered in Nov are getting the emails.

With the rate at ppl are being added, I would say that all pre orders will be done by Friday Night, and we will have a whole weekend to Force Fun

The way these types of games and subscriptions work is as follows: If you pre-ordered you have until pre-order ends to keep playing. Once that ends you WILL need to enter your games retail code into the site so BioWare and EA know you have bought the game and licence, with that code it will automatically add your first 30 days access. Once that is done will will have 2 main options: 1. Buy Game Cards from a retailer 2. Add an automatic subscription in your preferred payment method. Details for the payment methods will be found in the Billing scetion of the Help Center (http://www.swtor.com/support/helpcenter/1863) Hope that answers it for you.
