Bioware has little control over how mail orders get handled. I'm not sure anyone has the right to be mad at Bioware if they get their game in the mail at date later than launch. It comes with the territory of choosing to buy from an online retailer which requires mailing an item. Sometimes stuff shows up on time, sometimes it doesn't, it all depends on the retailers inner workings.

It's like getting mad that a bird made a mess of your car.... don't park outside.. or use a tarp lol. there are options.

Perhaps that's true (I've never researched how those things work), but the reason so many people ordered online was because BW originally promised that there would be a grace period for people who ordered online. Now they've removed that grace period, which means that some people will be denied access to the game for a few days, when they were originally told they'd have no interruption in game access. Again, it's just a game...but it's also bad customer relations to promise one thing and then deny it later.

I don't recall there ever being a grace period at one point, but that pretty bad on their part if thats how it is. I wonder how complex it would be to sort through pre-order codes, and have separated the orders based on origination of the stores. perhaps it was too hard and they scrapped it haha. Certainly possible...

The email I got, said to download the client as soon as possible. so if you got early access, there is no wait.

Yep, I'm primed, pumped, and ready to go! They said we'll get an email on the day that we can start playing. So check your inboxes starting on Tuesday Dec 13!!! Lots of sleep and woot coming up!

EDIT: Well, actually, there won't be much sleep...but there'll be lots of woot!

Thank you for your participation in the Pre-Launch Guild Program. At this time, guilds can no longer be created or modified on the website.

If your guild qualified for deployment, it has already been imported into the game. Server assignments can be found by visiting your guild's homepage. If your guild did not meet the deployment requirements, your guild was not imported into the game. Guilds can be created in-game at the Imperial and Republic fleets.

All web support for guilds will be removed by 01.03.12, and we encourage you to save any important data you wish to keep before that time.

@jonny, why not partition your HD or use a boot manager to just throw windows direct on the hardware?

So, our guild chars will be on that server, any thought of where your alts will be? at this point, I see reasons for having them on and off the same server.

Ok, I'm in! :

FYI, you can only have 1 character automatically entered into our party's guild right from the start...you get a notification and invitation every time you make a character until you accept the invitation. The rest of your characters will need a specific invite during the game. Brad is the Celestial Warriors Guild Leader, so I'll let him organize things (and perhaps a Guild thread here on the SWMGamers forums?) as he chooses.:

Also, if any of you are interested in forming a SWMGamers DARKSIDE guild, I hereby invite you to join the Kaas City server (PvE), where I've already got a few sith characters started. We can form the guild as soon as some of us get to Drommund Kaas.
