Hey guys. I haven't received an email about this just yet but before the site started getting hammered a few moments ago I got a message telling me that our guild has been successfully imported into the game. I haven't been able to get to our page since but I think this should be safe to post anyway.

According to the page I saw our server details should be as follows;

Allegiance to: The Sith Empire
Server: Bloodworthy
English, Europe (GMT), PvP


A friendly reminder: Once you have created your character(s) please make sure that your details are added to our new launch roster thread so we can keep that up-to-date and we know who everyone is. Ty! ;D

Bioware will be making a detailed post later on today about how the guild deployment system works in-game so I will update with more info when I can. [Edit - Here we go folks.]

Bloodworthy? Cheesy server name lol.

But great to know where we are. Just a day to go now! Really excited :)

I look forward to whatever further details they are going to release ^^

Got a nice little mail from Bioware:

"Early Game Access* has begun. It's time to play.

The moment we've all been waiting for is finally here. Early Game Access* has started, and you can now begin your adventure. To start playing, click on the button below and follow the steps outlined on the page. Welcome to your Star Wars™ saga."

Now, if just the workday can be over so I can go home and start playing.

lol typical. Grats to both of though ;)
(I have merged these 2 launch threads into one btw :))

I pre-ordered the day they went up but GAME didn't send the codes out for online orders until the week after so I couldn't redeem as soon as I should have been able to to. I would like to hope that I'll still get invited today but who knows. Will keep my fingers crossed!.

Day 1:
-Wave 1 invites sent at 12:15pm
-Wave 2 invites sent at 1:45pm
-Wave 3 invites sent at 4:15pm
-Wave 4 invites sent at 6:00pm

If the rest of early access & launch day go as smooth as today has Bioware should be very happy with themselves. Server performance, the staggered invites and right down to the guild deployment system which has made getting things rolling so much simpler.
Anyway, lots more fun tomorrow and hopefully more of us will be invited during day 2! :thumb:

I've just been through that and got in at last. Seems Queueworthy is the new Lagfist...

Was 35 mins for 300 last night. Lovely.

Queueworthy indeed :(

Not playing tonight. Queued for 25 mins to get up to 600 in the queue, then the client crashed.

Frankly, a 1 hour queue when the game hasn't even launched yet (and we're not even 3 full days into Early Access) is just ridiculous and completely unacceptable. If the servers are full, they should be taking action to remedy that - either closing the full servers and forcibly transferring people off them, or raising the server cap. Maybe both.

I'm not going to spend my evenings queueing for such ridiculous lengths of time. I have better things to do really - so I'll be ingame when I can get in without wasting half my day to do so. And honestly, I can't see myself staying subbed for very long if the situation persists. They need to do something and rapidly, because launch will just make it ten times worse.

<- Can feel Anny's rage from here :(
Queues are pretty bad atm granted but they'd be far worse if Bioware weren't staggering invites & launch. They'll be constantly monitoring all servers right now inbetween each invite wave, it may not be until they've finished those off that they have a clearer idea of server caps. If we're still seeing queues like this after launch is out of the way I'd be more worried.

and glad to see you've got your invite Shiddix. Are you by any chance "Yavhille"?, or still waiting to get ingame?. Someone new popped into the member list ingame that I don't recognise. :)

Just got home from work and.... am in an awefully loooong que.
Reminds me of the first days of Mannoroth.

Seems like they would have spaced out guilds a little better though with this game,
as they knew ahead of time how many people per guild was joining.
There are awful lot of light population servers out there and I am over 1k in line on ours :smack:
And as fate would have it, we have the 2nd longest que of all the servers out there...
Ah well, I will pvp whilst I wait for the que!
