They did about 100k yesterday... There were only 100k preorders till july 30th and they made it to the 27th... So you have your figures wrong sir =)

Yeah and maybe Stephen is out to lunch!? LoL

That and you have to remember how many people are going to just ride out the 5 dollar pass and not get the game on release too.

They let roughly 100k people on yesterday. The general word on the servers from folks I spoke with who are playing said that July 27th was the last day they let in. At the end of July there were 119,260 Pre-Orders as of July 30th so that would lead me to believe that 100k would be a good number. From there the pre-orders taper off pretty hard until the end of November. Have hope folks you never know!

Being the pre-orders slowed down after the initial month of pre-order it dipped from like 80k per week to just over 20k for several weeks so there will be a larger spectrum of players that will gain access tomorrow i'm sure. The people at tail end will slow a little because the pre-orders spiked really well again. Either way i'll just be happy to play and am looking forward to starting a nice long campaign in another MMO

Check your numbers before you quote things bud. USA Pre-Order Chart Week Ending 26th Feb 2011 Pos - Game - Weeks To Launch - Weekly Change - Total 14. RIFT (PC) - 1 - 11,680 - 51,586 Source: VGChartz At this last week SWTOR Has 960K Pre-orders. Rift doesn't hold a candle to SWTOR with only 51,586 total it's final week before launch.

Actually go to the last few weeks and see how SWTOR did for pre-orders. You will be amazed. It's insane and puts things into perspective why they haven't opened the flood gates.

@Rockjaw Stephen Reid @Thaded Four waves planned so far - day isn't over yet. We're already seeing fairly full servers, so it's going great so far. 33 minutes ago via TweetDeck

Rockjaw Stephen Reid For anyone calling CS: yes, we have a lot of calls right now. If you're calling about 'when do you get access' - hang up. They won't help. 1 minute ago You have to be really silly to start calling CS for EGA. My, my, my.....

This so sounds like a BlackFriday at Wal-Mart. LoL Everyone wanting in. Ok they open the flood gates. Servers start to collapse you have 10,000 people in the start area and you can't get a kill to save your life. Yeah that would be so fun. Let it roll folks people will be able to play soon!
