7am EST kids!

Via torwars:

“First: Early Game Access officially starts at 4AM PST / 6AM CST / 7AM EST / 12PM GMT / 1PM CET tomorrow. Emails will be sent around then.

Second: emails will go out after that point in in waves. Yes, we’ll tell you when the emails will get sent via Forums/Twitter.

Third: No, not everyone will get in tomorrow. We are strictly allowing people admittance by when they redeemed pre-order code.

Fourth: All server types will be live tomorrow (PvP, PvE, RP-PvE, RP-PvP). All servers available to all (no EU-US or guild restrictions).

Fifth: If you’re in a pre-imported guild, no, that doesn’t get you priority access- but your guild server will be there when you get in.

Sixth: No, don’t ask when you get in. We will let in a lot of people tomorrow – but not everyone. If you’re not in Day One, don’t explode.

Seventh: The Forums will be back up for all who have redeemed a pre-order code just before 7AM EST (AKA, Early Game Access start).

Eighth: Servers you’ll see up tomorrow are NOT the final list. We’ll be adding more during Early Game Access.

Ninth: I’m afraid I have no further updates on retailers and shipping, but it’s moving about at very high levels. More tomorrow on that.

Tenth: As a community, you’re the craziest, most passionate, most devoted people I’ve ever had the pleasure to work for. Thanks.”

And finally, Reid added:

“And now I’m going to go home and not get enough sleep.”

Well now, I guess he does get a wee bit of rest on occasion. Sleep well, Rockjaw!

Do we have guilds set up?

I’d go either Empire or Republic. Kind of hankering for Empire, since I got sick of playing goody-goodies in WoW.

WHY DID I WAIT SO LONG TO PREORDER???

Jakub · 2011-12-12T21:29:19.000Z

LOL what.

EA has a pre-order fee?

This is unreal.

MattKeil · 2011-12-12T21:52:06.000Z

This is my Christmas Eve this year.

This is unreal.

The five dollars is part of the advertised price, not an additional charge. They’ll charge that against your card right away, and the balance later.

Jakub · 2011-12-12T22:06:47.000Z

Ah, ok, thanks for clearing that up.

So do we have guilds?

We have a guild for both.

Empire - Threevil
Republic - Tatooine Royal Navy

Server that both will be on is The Harbinger.

I ordered it beginning of october, damn my reluctance to pull the trigger! I would really like to get my lightsaber before I leave to a wedding on thursday.

Huh? I could have sworn I paid in full when I preordered through Origin?

When I preordered in November, they billed the full balance to my card and then refunded all but the $5 preorder fee after a day or so.

Cal · 2011-12-13T01:58:01.000Z

Im used to the rage! My Wife pre-ordered in July, and i took over her beta account for testing and she didnt get a look in, and she isnt in todays roll-out!!

Shes mad!

Razgon · 2011-12-13T02:54:21.000Z

D’oh - I think I’ve made a mistake…I’m not sure I’m using the same card anymore I used to pre-order with…

Cal - Did you buy through Origin, and did you get billed now? Or is that not until the 20th?

Mazuo · 2011-12-13T02:58:19.000Z

Not sure how you know you’re in today, but good luck.

@SWTOR The Old Republic
Early Game Access emails will be going out in multiple waves throughout the day. You will be emailed the same day your access starts.

@SWTOR The Old Republic
Emails have not yet been sent. We will notify you when the first batch goes out!

As someone who hasn’t followed this game’s development, which version does everyone recommend purchasing: the Standard Edition or the Digital Deluxe Edition?
