Title: Early Access Now December 13th!
Post by: Tbone on December 07, 2011, 04:05:17 pm
So...that happened.

You'll receive an email THE DAY you get access, so there's no knowing when the servers open and are available to you. You just have to check your email 24/7. Let the craziness begin!

Starting December 13, 2011, 7:00AM EST (Pacific: December 13th, 4:00AM PST; European: December 13th, 12:00PM GMT, 1:00PM CET), The Old Republic will begin emailing invitations to start your Early Game Access. Invitations will be sent throughout the Early Game Access period offering rolling access to the game in the order in which you redeemed your Pre-Order Code, so be sure to check your email inbox!


Boom. Definitely going to be on for this.

Any idea which server we will be on?

Awwwwww, shoot! I was all set to take Thursday, Friday off. There is no way I can take any extra time off.  I was so excited to really take advantage of Early Access.  But yay for all of you that get your fix one day sooner :)

Interesting. Oh well, doesn't really change anything for me. I'll be a bit behind since I can't start until the 19th now (powerleveling with the wife since she just preordered the game), but guaranteeing we'll be lvl 50 in 3 days. ALL DAY LEVELING WAHOOO!! DUTCH BROTHERS COFFEE IN THE VEINS!

Don't feel bad.  I work 12 hour shifts on Wed-Friday and every other Saturday.  Luckily next week is my short work week, so I'll be able to get an opportunity at 4 days of pre-order leveling.

I'll be waking up early on the 13th to at least be able to reserve my name.  

Other than that, my vacation starts on the 15th.  Can't swing any extra time before.  Bioware must be really confident in order to open the game earlier than projected.

For those of us getting up early on the 13th, how do we know which server to use?
Title: Re: Early Access Now December 13th!
Post by: Ratio on December 08, 2011, 01:28:55 pm
TBone will get an email from BioWare soon (TM) prior to early access start that will let him know what server the guild has been placed on. Then he'll post that information so that everyone not in the pre-launch guild will know where to go.

And if he doesn't post, there will be face stabbings.

Unfortunately, since we are going to an RP-PvP server, we will not be going to the pre-determined server. The strategy is to go to the RP-PvP server on the east coast that is last in the alphabet.

Right now the concern is whether or not that server will be available on day one of early access. That's something we're trying to confirm. Regardless, the server we go to will be posted.

Signing up as RP guarantees you'll be on a PvE server. Currently the obverse is not true. That is to say, signing up on a PvP server may land you on an RP-PvP server. FA is signed up as PvP... And I'll try to call someone at the beehive this afternoon, though it may be futile. Busy, busy, busy.

Post by: Tbone on December 10, 2011, 10:50:10 am
Well, I know which server is the RP-PvP server, so we'll know what server we are going to before Monday. I'm pretty sure RP-PvP isn't included in the automatic transfer system.

Pre order cancelled by my retailer. Any thoUghts?
Title: Re: Early Access Now December 13th!
Post by: Ratio on December 10, 2011, 12:08:13 pm
Europe starts selling in stores on the 16th, so getting a regular box shouldn't be an issue as long as you're not isolated.

If they cancelled a CE pre-order, call them immediately and let them know what the situation is so that they can restore your order. Keep asking to talk to the next person up the ladder if the person you're talking to can't/won't help you. Keep using the equivalent of the phrase "What are you going to do to make this right?" until you get satisfaction. That almost always works for me.

It appears Amazon cancelled my pre-order this morning without informing me.  I wouldn't have known if I hadn't gone to look.

I'm calling them right now, hoping it's some fluke on my order history.

EDIT: The order still exists, it's just not showing up under "Open Orders" which is where it always has been.  Amazon hasn't charged my card, and the order is still showing as "Not yet shipped".  I had to look through my entire order history for 2011 in order to see it.  

The rep I spoke with said it should still be showing under "Open Orders".  She mentioned they've had similar calls about this today, so they're looking into it.  :\

Wait, you know which server is the RP-PvP server? Details? Or are you under some kind of non-disclosure agreement or something.

When I looked at my open orders I didnt see mine at first either until I changed the search from the last 30 days to the last six months, then it popped up.

From what I read originally you'll have to buy another game. I don't think this is too big of an issue though in regards to Early Access since you've already paid the $5 for that. But come the 20th you'll have to have a key to keep playing.
