We all want very much to play the game right now. After 3 years of waiting for the game, the last day or so can seem like an eternity, but posting how Bioware hates you and other such thoughts don't help anything. A little patience will make it all the sweeter when we finally do get into the game.

Remember that this is Bioware's first MMO and there are a lot of people waiting to play. There are going to be queues, there are going to be full servers, and there is going to be lag. I don't like it, either, but there's nothing we can do about it, so we just have to wait.

Some thoughts about what to do while we wait:

1. Come up with a list of character names. Names are likely to be taken fast, so come up with 3 or 4 names you'd like in case your original is already taken.

2. Think of a back-story for your character.

3. Go do something Star Wars-y while you wait. Browse the starwars.com site, watch one of the movies, read a Star Wars book, or maybe watch an episode of Clone Wars.

4. If you were in the Beta, write up some tips and game info for your friends.

5. Eat a cookie. Okay, that's not Star Wars-y but you can't go wrong with cookies!
