Yep.

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. Invitations will be sent throughout the Early Game Access period offering rolling access to the game in the order in which you redeemed your Pre-Order Code, so be sure to check your email inbox!

To ensure that players can get into the game as quickly as possible when their Early Game Access begins, we are now allowing everyone who has redeemed a Pre-Order Code at our Code Redemption Center to pre-load the game to their computer.

In order to download the game client before Early Game Access begins, you need have already logged into your account and redeemed your Pre-Order Code. Once you have done this, you can download the game client by clicking on “My Account” in the upper-right of the window and then click “Pre-Order.” On your Pre-Order page, click the large button that says “Download Game Client” to begin download of the game!

If you participated in our recent Beta Testing Weekend between November 25th and 28th and still have the game client installed, you will be able to patch this client instead of re-installing by simply launching your client, logging in and allowing the download to complete. If you did not participate in the November 25th – 28th Beta Weekend, first uninstall the Game Testing Client and then re-install to ensure your game client will function correctly during Early Game Access.

Learn more about how to get ready for Early Game Access!

If you haven’t pre-ordered Star Wars: The Old Republic yet, you still have time. Visit our Pre-Order Page, secure your copy of the game and redeem your Pre-Order Code at the Code Redemption Center to pre-load the client and qualify for Early Game Access.

If you have any issues installing or patching the game client for The Old Republic, check visit the Customer Service Support section for information and assistance.

*Customers who redeem their Pre-Order Code at the Code Redemption Center prior to launch will be able to pre-load the Star Wars: The Old Republic Game Client before the official Game launch. Pre-loading the Game does not grant you access to the Game. Pre-Ordering the Game only allows you access to the Early Game Access period and your Color Crystal. Early Game Access may be up to 7 days. The length of your Early Game Access depends on the date and order in which you redeemed your Pre-Order Code. In order to continue playing the Game after the Early Game Access period, you must redeem your official Game Product Registration Code at the Code Redemption Center.

You are, of course, correct. -JC

Well by this, I guess I will be in no later than the 15th!

Good news for all.

Interesting... They went from 5 days of possible early access to a full week. Hmm... I like this a lot.

Goddamn it... my science final is Thursday, the 15th and now early access could potentially start on the 13th, oh well... fuck my science final, as long as I get a C on it I pass that class with an A.

Edit: To clarify this:
"Early Game Access may be up to 7 days. The length of your Early Game Access depends on the date and order in which you redeemed your Pre-Order Code. In order to continue playing the Game after the Early Game Access period, you must redeem your official Game Product Registration Code at the Code Redemption Center."

They added two more days. Not really sure why, but makes me happy.

Why work on science fact when you can play with science fiction? :P

Same here. I had told all of my clients I would meet with them from Monday through Wednesday to finish up project before I took two full days off from work. I guess someone else will have to be there to get the guild set up. Score one more for BioWare/EA to say one thing and then later change it to something else. It's their game, so I guess they're entitled to do so...

Wait guys... we're all reading it wrong. Read the first sentence SLOWLY....

Beginning on the 13th is when they're sending out E-MAILS to let us know when we're getting our early access.

As I said, I can fail my final and still pass my science class with an A. Wasn't planning on doing that since Early Access was on the 15th but now that I could be in two days before, well... screw the final.

Dammit BioWare, now I want to know what day I get in for Early Access.

And then read this a little further down:

"Early Game Access may be up to 7 days."

I thought that too (after). But then in the last paragraph:

Quote
Early Game Access may be up to 7 days.

...but graphic on swtor.com still says 5.

So confused.
