5 Days Max. Early Game Access

[Zenkutsu]

Apparently there's a new pre-order page that states in it's small print that early game access 'may be up to 5 days'.

Can't find it myself mind, maybe it's been removed?

Perfect. My holidays begin 15th Dec.

I expect they'll let in 2 batches of people a day.

I'm not getting too hyped about the early access. I want in, of course, but I don't expect a stable ride.
I'm keeping that weekend free in any case!

I expect problems on day 1, then some stability and then problems on Dec 20th.

Oh and slide, consular sages have a fine selection of pants now..so, guess who is going to challenge you for the right to be mighty whitey tighty?

yeah, it's on.

I can stuff smoked sausage down my pants Spinal Tap style too!

Ah thanks for the link Yoon.

I think there may be some late nights that weekend.

One of the benefits to pre-ordering Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ is that you will gain Early Game Access before launch on December 20th. This is a chance to start your epic Star Wars saga early, as you’ll be able to create and play your character ahead of the official live game launch.

Many of you have been wondering how long Early Game Access will last, and we are now happy to announce that depending on when you redeem your Pre-Order Code, you will gain Early Game Access up to five days before the official game launch date.

Early Game Access is staggered over five days to ensure a quality experience for players at launch. Staggering access aids server stability and a gradual increase in player population through the game. Early Game Access will be granted according to when your Pre-Order Code is redeemed at the Code Redemption Center. If you have not yet pre-ordered Star Wars: The Old Republic, there’s still time! Visit our Pre-Order page for more information and watch the Collector’s Edition Unboxing video for a peek inside this highly coveted edition of the game.

To quote Cyrus Paice from Get Carter (the remake):
"Now if you want to do this little dance here for old times sake, Jack, bring it. You're gonna end up like a one-legged man in an ass-kicking contest."

Do I need to get involved here? No? I didn't think so. Now play nice kids. I may not be the tightest around here myself but I swear by my pretty floral bonnet I will end you.
