Oh sorry if there was some confusion, I got in on the account that I had preordered day 1 about 30-60 minutes after preorders went live. I did not get in yet on the account from 7/27, I would guess it will be tomorrow or Thursday.
I hope your 7/27 gets in tomorrow lol.. I'm 8/1

Mid September pre-order for me and you guessed it....I'm not in lol.
I got in during the first wave with both accounts; however, I'm still having issues with the follow command in the respect that it breaks very easily, and my second character seems to be bouncing around, just as it did for me in the last beta test. I'm spamming my follow key as a temporary remedy. Companion pathing seems fine for both characters in comparison.
It might be something I'm doing incorrectly. If I figure it out, I'll update this post. Otherwise, I've been having a great time. Waiting for TOR felt like an eternity.

you know.. bioware is sure setting up an elitist attitude for players to follow....
vip key signatures on their forums.. early access depending on preorder date.. already seeing the 'rift' in attitudes from players on various forums. Not looking forward to seeing how it is in game.
I haven't noticed anything ingame.
Really, this isn't a problem that's restricted to The Old Republic, when you think about it. I just ignore it. Players will often cultivate some type of self-purported status symbol in order to elevate and stratify their position within the community if possible; it's simply human nature. That said, the "CE VIP" nonsense was easily avoided unless you were intentionally clicking into those threads, and the pre-order date won't matter soon enough, either.
I do feel for people who haven't gotten into EGA yet (some of my friends are still waiting on their invites), but I haven't noticed anyone in game gloating about it (or maybe that's because I tend to avoid general chat unless absolutely necessary).
In any case, I'll stop there to avoid derailing this thread any further, but the next wave of EGA invites, according to Stephen Reid's Twitter account, will be going out tomorrow morning:
SWTOR The Old Republic by Rockjaw
The final wave of emails have been sent. We will be sending another wave tomorrow starting at 8am CST.

In general the world works this way, you fork out for a deluxe product you usually(some fail on this) get preferential treatment. You fork out the money for the VIP box at a sporting event you do get to enjoy the game in a different(some would say better) fashion than most. Why not the same for video games? What IS wrong with people is that they think that having the money for VIP access, etc. makes them think they are better than others. But this is off topic, so I apologize.
I did fork out the money for the CE for the items, but hoped that it would also be some other benefits to it. It was a slim hope, but a hope non the less. Just hoping I get in on/by the 15th at least, pre-ordered in October so not holding my breath.
Hi guys.
Just thought I'd contribute. I entered my code on the 26th and got in on the 4th wave yesterday.
The servers were pretty empty. And they kept adding more throughout the night. There were about twice as many servers as of half an hour ago then there was at the start of the last wave.
My guess is the rest of July & the first 2-3 weeks of Aug gets in tomorrow since they said it would be a bigger number of ppl getting invites.
