Title: early access question (perhaps better for SWTOR staff)
Post by: jarmeat on December 10, 2011, 09:32:49 pm
If I've got the SWTOR launcher downloaded so I can be ready for early access, do I only need to wait for the servers to be open at the appropriate time to start playing?

The reason I ask is that I ordered a hard copy of the game that has not yet arrived, but I have this downloaded launcher all ready to go and I'm not sure if that's enough for early access. I'm afraid I have to wait for the hard copy to arrive in the mail before I can play at all.

SWTOR staff is notoriously slow in responding to my queries, and their "droid-helper" automated tech support emails are routinely unhelpful. So, I bring the issue to the FA. Any thoughts?

I'd love to ask for the evening of the 13th off tomorrow so I can get the character name I want secured etc. etc. Not to mention getting started leveling and playing with you guys. :)

As I understand it, if you pre-ordered, you will get in early.  Exactly WHEN you get in is up to when you pre-ordered and redeemed your pre-order key.  First redeemed, first in the game.  If you didn't order early, you might not get in on the 13th.

Well damn.

I ordered in October. I thought I redeemed the code, but I opened up the link in my SWTOR account that leads to code-redemption and was prompted to enter thing (again, I think). So I did and now it says I'm all set up for early access. So if I understand right, according to my latest input from bioware... I'm probably only registered for early access as of an hour ago and am therefore pretty much screwed out of early access.

That sucks.

Thanks for replying. This way I at least won't be surprised when I'm not let in on the 13th.
