Also noticing this problem.

How would they fix it? Obviously they could make some really cool things for Republics, but with people already entrenched with classes they like, and guilds formed, etc., getting them to change is going to have to be more than look how sexy this Jedi Knight's new belt is... How about some easier things: If a faction has 5% fewer players online they get a 1% bonus to all stats/effects/abilities etc. If they have 10% fewer, this goes to 2%, continuing on until a 5 or 10% bonus... Or this could be bonuses to XP gains, or legacy gains, or credit gains, or mission success rates, commendation gains, or whatever... If legacy gets implemented and its something players desire, you could give a bonus to legacy gains for the under represented faction (meaning it might be desirable to have characters of both faction on your account), since the legacy crosses to both factions. Allow guilds to have a faction mirror guild. The guild leader creates an opposite faction guild and the guilds link to each other, allowing cross faction guild chat. They could share a guild bank (once guild banks are implemented), not sure of the ramifications of allowing items to freely cross the faction barrier. Could even allow characters in the linked guild to group for operations, WZ, etc.... Just throwing out some ideas, many may have ramifications or loopholes that need to be carefully considered. Consider this a brainstorming session.

Too bad no one has figured out distributed computing...

375 person queue at 11am. Can't wait to see what tonight looks like.

Amazing, 375 person queue at 11am on a weekday. I am well aware that it is launch day, but extrapolating to this evening, I better start logging in around 2 if i want to play by 10.

Anyone smell that 3rd wave yet...been an hour, not that 2 waves make a pattern...

Ruh roh, that actually makes sense...

Very nice and original argument. Wish someone else had brought this up before...

I can confirm that 9/7 is NOT in yet! I know you needed that confirmation.

Its based on when you entered the code. So the second.

Four really big waves. We are talking Tsunami size waves here. Each wave is twice the total number of preorders for SWToR! Well, maybe I exaggerate.

I'd be perfectly happy with December...

Let's hope they are as big as they are insinuating! Come on September!

Bioware guy: This guy on the forum said 95% were going to get in today. Other Bioware guy: But the boss said to let in 5 more waves, each with 9 people in it. What are we gonna do. Bioware guy: Dang, dunno. The customer IS always right, right? Other Bioware guy: Yeah, boss said we should take initiative. Lets do the 95% today. Bioware guy: Ok, but how do we decide, just go with the random number generator like yesterday? Other Bioware guy: Nah, that busted when we let the first 14 people in. I was just using my gerbil's birthday to pick the people yesterday. Bioware guy: Sweet.

9/7 here. I sure hope you are right, but since they didn't get out of July yesterday, and some of the charts I have seen show more preorders in August than from July 21-31, not counting on it!
