They have categorically stated that your early access start date IS dependant on when you registered your pre-order code; i am at work so can't access the link - but Stephen Reid has confirmed it.

HOWEVER - they have not stated anything further to that, for all we know anyone pre-ordered prior to October could get 5 days, or maybe its whoever preordered before August... or maybe the first 1million pre-orders... thats the unknown - but it is fact that the amount of days you get will be dependant on when you registered the code to your swtor account

I've never said otherwise, but as I said, the details are EXTREMELY vague.

We'll have to wait and see.
 
Guys I know we all want to play, but really - its just a few days - in the context of how long we will be playing the game I dont think its anything to get worked up over.

I only pre ordered a week ago so Ill get 1 day at most, but Im not bothered either way.
 
Conspiracy theory Incoming

I doubt they will announce when people will get pre-order depending on when they bought until 13th/14th so they can lure more people to pre-order under a 5 day access assumption. A lot of people probably won't bother pre-ordering on the basis of 1 day extra play to be fair I wouldn't have, wanting more :p

get out.... of course it matters

:D

Robbo - apologies thought you were saying it wont be staggered at all based on pre-order codes
 
I'm not sure exactly what's going to happen.

However, it stands to reason that if the servers can support it, they'll want to get as many people playing as possible. I think it's quite likely they will stagger it over 2 days, so you either get 5 or 4 days, like the Friday/Saturday situation with the weekend beta test.

It's entirely possible they could stagger it over 4 days but I really don't think they will.

Can you imagine the state of those starter areas? Good luck doing the quest for the trapped Padawans.

Would have been nice if they'd enabled PvP and travel to the starter worlds for the first day only. Invading Tython with an army of level 1 Sith would have been fun while everyone else fought over quest objectives :p

Fine by me. I visited the planet of those dress wearing girls and all I found were fluffy critters and a temple of standing around.

At least Ord Mantell is a proper war zone to start in ;)

Without a doubt, I would not be surprised if they never did a announcement, only send out emails to inform people of when they start.

Well they hardly vague, in fact its pretty clear, staggered in take get in depending when you bought your game.
 
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say I don't think it will be too bad.

Don't forget the starter areas are "phased" "instanced" "sharded" whatever the term is.
