Erevan_Kindelar Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 The code you typed in 6 months ago was the pre-release code. The code it wants now is the CD code which will either be emailed to you if you have ordered a DDE version, or it will be on the manual if you have ordered a physical copy.

ahRecondite Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 You're saying that my preorder is useless for early game access because I have to wait for my collector's edition to come in the mail? They better have shipped 1-day shipping, this is bologna; straight up bologna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the amount of time you get for early access is determined by when you entered your pre-access code. If you have received an email telling you that you can now take part in the Early Access program, then you should be able to get in without entering a code, as far as I know.

If Possible I would like someone to clarify please. I purchased the game via Origin (Digital Download Deluxe Edition)... I used the Serial Number for my Pre-Order. I have not recieved any other e-mail with an additional CODE to activate my Game for todays possible Early access ...I tried using the Code that I used for pre-order regestration that has failed.. If I get early access today but havent recieved the other code via e-mail does that mean I am screwed...? This whole early access is the worst early access I have been a part of..? If I have an issue with getting this code from Origin ... !! What was the purpose of paying the $5 pre-order for..? The whole pre-order was for early access .. What a Failure ...!!! Very Frustrated ......!!!!!!! VONNER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taminal Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Are we emailed the product registration codes on the 20th? Does anyone officially know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyghtmare Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I read in another thready they are slowly letting people in and that you will be able to activate your account for gameplay when they get to you. More or less think of it as fixing itself, you just have to keep checking on it. I am in the same boat. I have the CE on order from gamestop. Had the promo code entered in a long time ago, and dont have the game actually until the 20th. I really hope they get to me soon, I was looking forward to playing before I have to go to work this evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dasffion Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Are we emailed the product registration codes on the 20th? Does anyone officially know? If you got a digital version from Origin you'll get them on the 16th. If you got a physical copy you have to wait for it to arrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyghtmare Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 If you got a digital version from Origin you'll get them on the 16th. If you got a physical copy you have to wait for it to arrive. That makes any sense. I preordered at a Gamestop. They said the games come in on 12/20/11. If I actually need the actual product code then there is no way I can get early access. That is just stupid.

Solpel Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Nothing is needed to play the early access other then registering your pre-order code that one time when you first got it. You will not receive access to play in the early access until you get an email from Bioware telling you when you'll be able to start, at which point you will then be able to log in at whatever time the email states. Unless you pre-ordered back in July, it's probably unlikely you'll be playing today, or even tomorrow. As was mentioned when you pre-ordered you'll gain access to "up to" 5 days early access(7 now if you pre-ordered early), in other words, that could be 7 days(today) or 1 minute of early access.

Solpel Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 you didn't pay $5 for the pre-order, if you look at your order more closely you'll notice they took $5 from the game price and applied it to the pre-order item, possibly due to some legal thing or Origin not being able to have something for $0 in an order *shrug* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are You 100% sure about this? I also found this; which could confirm Your statement, at least I understood it the same way as You did. here it is: f you are a pre-order customer, the following steps are NOT required for Early Game Access. However, in order to play Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ at the official launch of the game on December 20, 2011, 12:01AM EST (Pacific: December 19th, 9:01PM; European: December 20th, 05:01AM GMT, 06:01 CET), you must first answer a series of security questions and provide your contact information. Then you must redeem a Product Registration Code that came with the game, and either subscribe to the game or redeem a Game Time Code. Follow the steps outlined below!
