Early Access 'Waves' - Updating Here

The sentence I underlined in the all mighty locked in stone T&C you've quoted has already been broken. Its pretty random from what I've seen, at least for the beginning waves. I've seen Jul, Aug, Sep and Nov people already accepted.

Staggered launch is good for handling initial flood of players. But each "wave" every few hours and only 4 waves today doesn't seem right. Remember, early access is part of the promotinal offer, not a testing time. When new waves come out tommorow there will be people logging in from today and tommorow.. and so on for every next day. Eventually it will be just like after launch, everyone will be logging in/out.

I would understand 50k-100k per wave every hour, that is staggered launch.
4 waves today is just a specific selection, not a staggered preorder release.

July 21st here and nothing. They must have gotten Sony to handle their launch.

For my account been preordered 08/28.2011 I sent week before mail with photo of my serial key. Why I can't launch game?

ROFL So I pre ordered and redeemed my early access code yesterday, guessing i'll get my email on Dec 19th at 11:55 PM wewt 5 min early access!!

7/24 order here still no invite.

1. Beta isn't enough to test servers.
2. Early Access is new beta.
3. I didn't pay for early access, I paid for pre order.
4. Bioware managed to invent new system to avoid queues, on servers.
5. Now you have to wait in queue for game activation.
6. New system apparently fails to provide eta.
7. Pre Ordering game doesn't grant you access to early access.
8. Pre Ordering game puts you in a queue that's been there for half a year.
9. Early Access is a Gift.
10. Bioware knows how many people are in queue, how many people they let in, what days those people were let in. however they're unable to provide ETA.
11. I was an idiot for trusting bioware.

I'm not pissede because I have to wait. I'm pissed because I wasn't informed I'll have to wait, and they don't want to tell me how long I might have to wait.


K, **** bioware and tor, gonna play something on my console, ain't gonna waste any more time on this game. I've lost all my faith in company, not because they've created a crappy game, but because they've scammed me with their marketing and they don't even care about giving me proper eta.

When you offer a bonus to get people to pay extra money to you the bonus item forms part of the sales contract. In this case the item is a pre order of the game. So yes the monies paid for pre-ordering the game where paid both to reserve your copy and to receive your bonus item in this case early access.

As for "The up to 5 days early" statement that can equally be read as if you want to play the full 5 days or only one. When they changed the bonus item to 7 days it is still a bonus item that your pre order fee covers.

7/24 here, I kept waiting for origin to update, they were out of stock after the 1st day. When they never update to 'in stock' I went someplace else.

Still waiting. It's been a quiet 4 hours /crosses fingers.

I entered my pre-order code in last night, and I'm already in. Two screens, one for SWTOR, the other for watching nerd flame
