SW:TOR limited availability at launch?

Hi Guys, A friend of mine shared this link with me and I'm glad I've pre-ordered already, just thought I'd share it incase anyone is waiting to pre-order.

I would hate it if some of us couldn't play at launch.

Yikes! Glad I pre ordered as well.

Got my pre order last week. :) New computer should be here NEXT week too!

I've been putting off pre-ordering, myself. If there's not enough at the time I choose to lay my money down, well... C'est la guerre.

I wonder if they are just using this as a scare tactic to get the people who have been putting it off...

I will take the optimistic approach and say they don't want to over invest in servers unless the demand calls for it. Then end up having to deal with server migrations a year later and take a major hit on hardware cost.

Although it is "limited", I doubt we will see it actually sell out before launch but that is just my personal opinion. I preordered mine on Day 1 so it doesn't effect me too much ;P

Although... If, for example, I were selected for beta and playing it had me really loving it; I may just go ahead and pre-order it.

Not saying I have or have not. Not sure if I'd be allowed to say if I were, which I'm not confirming. >.>

That had me chuckling this morning. I think you can say your in Beta you
just can't give out details about the game and game play.
But I like your approach. :)

I had several weeks worth of problems getting a viable pre-order code from Gamestop but I finally got the pre-order registered yesterday.

I'm not sure exactly what the article is saying though; are they saying that late pre-orders will not necessarily give you early access? I certainly hope not cuz if they do I'mma be pissedoff.

They'd better give me some really awesome extra in game items or bonuses if that happens or comp me a month's worth of gameplay. lol
