Star Wars: The Old Republic

MMO = waste of time confirmed.

It's true; single-player games earned me my first two doctorates.

Early access for pre-orders confirmed and some details were given.

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.

Considering I redeemed my preorder code about three hours after they went on sale, I'll plan on December 15. That's not going to be a very production work week, and it's my last one of the year!

[Timber]

Yeah, I redeemed my code like 3 hours after it went on sale. If we're not in on day 1 I'm calling shenanigans.

[Chux]

Oh foolish Bioware, I already have Skyrim, I don't think I'll have time to beta test for just one weekend.

[Yoshi]

I just got an e-mail about my third test weekend as well. I'm not sure there is much left for me to test unless they start me at a higher level.

[Chux]

That's the other thing. I had that entire month+ to do stuff, I don't particularly feel like going back to square one.

[Yoshi]

Plus the early access to the real game is about five weeks away. I'm not interested in burning myself out prior to my two-plus week Christmas bender.

[Yoshi]

If you have more money than sense, you can get in on the official Razer accessories. It'll be a cold day in hell when I pay $130 for a mouse.

edit: Or $50 for a mouse pad!?! Jesus Christ.

Early game access (for some people at least) has been bumped up to the 13th. The pre-download is also available if you've redeemed your pre-order code at the swtor site.
