News Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Since pre-order information was released, fans have been speculating on how long early access to Star Wars: The Old Republic would be.

adamqd Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 I pre-ordered within the first 2-3 minutes, but it will take at least 3 days to download (30 GB +), so why 5 days? everyone has to download for early access, and unless you live in Korea, a majority of that time will be spent in the loading screen.

I would hope their servers are extremely fast, but at the same time a lot of people will be downloading at once. We'll see how it goes I guess.

adamqd Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 I believe theres around 750,000 pre-orders so far, I know not all will be allowed access in the 15th (That is determined by your pre-order date) but thats still a hell of a lot of leechers hehe. I foresee server crashes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Well like Mav said, hopefully there will be pre-loading. Pretty sure there was for Battlefield 3 which is Origin-only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
