10 Days till Head Start!

December 05 2011
I dont know about you guys but i feel like ive been waiting for this game for half my life (or at least since NGE). It seems like this last month as been twice as long, but we're in the home stretch finally! I dont know how many of you pre-ordered, but i expect to be in game, bright eyes and bushy tailed (that's kind of a silly saying isnt it?) first thing next Thursday morning.

Not sure which side i'll be playing on though, since i dont know if the BF will be able to get off that day or not. If not i'll be playing my Jedi Knight Vanyel, otherwise i'll be on my Imperial Agent Ayden playing with his BH. Either way, i hope to see you guys in game! Hopefully we'll get the server selection email this week like they said.

There's nothing better than to be able to share a game like this with someone you are close to. It's hard for me to imagine what it was like to actually solo in MMOs. My husband and I have been playing duos practically since the day we started dating.

I am looking forward to release, but have to admit that my eagerness what tempered by beta. Before you experience the actual product it's so easy to get caught up in the hype, buzz, and excitement about the stuff they talk about, and only after you get hands on, get to see the not-so-shiny bits (and I'm not talking the expected issues that come with beta like lag or bugs).

At any rate, starting next week, things are going to be pretty busy around here as folks get into Early Access the remainder hope in after the official launch.

Just for the record, this topic does not help at all. :pinch: ;)

My heart picks up speed just thinking of launch.

I know I can't get off on the 15th, if I even can play that day or not, but I will be online ASAP to play my Jedi Sentinal. I played it in beta and fell in love, much more so than with my Smuggler. I can't wait to play. Anyone that is up for forming a casual group for night and weekend play let me know. My Jedi's name will be Xavian. My fiance will also be on as soon as he can, name TBD. I look forward to playing with the entire guild.

I'm with you, it feels like a heck of a long time. I only heard about the game back in July but was hooked from the first trailer I watched on the official forums.

I have to work the morning of the 15th, but I will log on at midnight to snagg a few names and then be back in the afternoon.(that is if I'm lucky enough to get in on the 15th for early access, it could be friday or saturday)

My X got me into MMO's in 2003 with DAoC. I've been playing solo since 2005, I'm really looking forward to the game and getting a chance to know you all.

I have 10 days to figure out what I'm going to be playing. ugh! I know it will be republic side to start with but I'm an altaholic so I'll have one of each class eventually.

Been waiting for this game for must be 5 years, ever since Bioware announced they were working on a secret mmo project (worst secret ever :))
Can't believe it's finally here

GAME the main UK games store took a week to mail out pre order codes so I doubt I will be given access on the 15th but will be in ASAP to meet you all. I work in retail so this isn't the best time of year for me, spare time wise but hopefully I can get some quality time in

Recently even replayed KOTOR 1 and 2 to get into the spirit, after all these years both those games are still amazing.

Main will be a Miraluka Jedi Sage named Mynara

I am *so* looking forward to Early Access and getting started... for real, this time! Told my roommate 'T-minus 10 days and counting'. ;)

I'm an alt-aholic as well and plan on doing each class and then experimenting with dark vs light with each class. So yeah, I'm going to be playing A LOT. :D

Been hearing about this game for the past 3 years. The past year seemed to drag on and on. Got to play the beta the last 2 weekends and it only whetted my appetite for more. Looking forward to all the excitement of launch and guild shenanigans.

What am I supposed to do until early access? I keep checking all my usual sites, then staring at my desktop wanting to click TOR icon :P

Can't wait to jump in and have some fun with everyone! Work the very early shift so my main playtimes will be in the afternoon/evenings mountain time. No idea what class I'll play altho it will likely be Sith. . . and a ton of alts I am sure.

I am one lucky s.o.b. - just looked and I have the 15/16th off. Altho I'll have Skyrim on standby for any launch server crashes/queues.

Well, I just read everyone's responses (which are vomiting bubbly feelings left and right) and it did not really help in toning down my excitement >_>. I hope I get to atleast reserve my toon name.

Well, your name is one of two on the "Name Reservation" list that Angel is managing, not to mention how unique it is, so I know I will at least attempt to get as many of the names reserved as I can. My husband and I purchased the day Pre-Orders started so I'm expecting to get in during the first couple of waves.

Is this 'name reservation' list on the forums? I looked around and couldnt find it.

The post is in the Holocron section under the header - Naming Reservations.

Here is the link:

I have an itching feeling that not everyone is going to get in on the 15th like folks think. As DakonKor said, it will be more like waves of folks getting in starting on the 15th. I pre-ordered a day after the game came out but am not counting on getting in on the 15th.

Van, you nailed it. BioWare specifically said that they would be granting Early Access in waves based on when you pre-ordered. That's why they said the earlier you pre-order, the earlier you'll get to play. They want to avoid the Launch Day issues that plague nearly every other MMO release by minimizing the impact of everyone trying to log in at once. Based on what they've said, I anticipate they'll let in a new wave once the impact of the previous one has leveled out.

I ordered two CE for SWTOR. One for me, one for my wife. I was at the Gamestop at 10am and was home entering the codes by 10:30. My last final is over with on the 13th, so I will be ready to go with non-stop play time for almost a month. Classes start back up on the 11th of January.

I have been waiting for another Star Wars MMO since SOE ruined my Galaxies game (Eclipse Server FTW). I know I will be playing a Trooper, but I just was not feeling the joy-joy feelings with healing on a trooper. Might go Vanguard and tank instead.

Sad to admit but my friends and I were all up at 2am or whenever it was to make sure we pre-ordered asap. lol They have been pretty quiet about the delayed release tho so I am def going to avoid the forums for the inevitable flooding of "WHAT DO YOU MEAN I CAN'T PLAY YET" posts.

I don't remember when it went on sale but I got mine in on 07.21.2011 we will see what happens.

I am glad too... I have seen CE selling for $400-$500 glad I got mine for $150. :lol:
