    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.

    Nah that's been superseded, they have extended it to 7 days, I think the demand forced them to even further stagger release.

    Early Game Access* for Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ is only a few days away!
    Starting December 13, 2011, The Old Republic will begin emailing invitations to start your Early Game Access.

    Do tell!

    Personally, I'm still going the Trooper route, although I'm leaning more towards the DPSy side of things than pure tank.

    My main will be a conselor sage, i love healing but i also love the attitude of a smuggler so that will be an alt of mine.

    Rockn Trooper as well. Unfortunately, Ill be out of town quite a bit over the holidays but will catch up!

    Trooper is a solid class, can DPS, Heal, or tank, depending on your AC and spec.

    Oh nice, assuming that is even roughly accurate, having activated the day after they started pre orders, should mean I get most if not all the 7 days.

    Ditto. If I don't get in on the first or second day I'm going to be disappointed.

    I worry that when any actual news comes out, the ToR site goes down.

    I told Lee, just take 5 minutes, log in and create your character (to secure your name) and that's it.

    No Erik, you're not smart.  I'm just less smart for saying I was going to take time off and not putting it on the calendar before you.  Now I can't really take time off, can I? :P

    FAQ answer: emails for Early Game Access will go out in a series of waves, every day. We'll keep you updated via Forums/Twitter.
