Star Wars The Old Republic MY WAIT IS OVER Early Game Access Email Notification With Short Gameplay Video If you see this in your email, grab all the caffiene in the house you can find, move the microwave and mini-fridge into your room, pull out that Travel Buddy portable bathroom thing and say goodbye to your family. To celebrate my Early Access to the Official Release Of Star Wars The Old Republic Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game, I am sharing a little video I threw together in the last days of the Beta! It was myself playing a couple quests in the last hours of the Beta Game Testing, mostly to finish up a storyline for my Signifigant Other, and I recorded it and put it together in a short video that they could watch to at least see the end of the Quest Line they were working on.

Star Wars The Old Republic MY WAIT WASNT OVER Star Wars The Queue Goes Public Part I Actually, I just got in on my server and it wasnt that bad... but for many people (over 500 pages of people in the SWTOR website community forums) it is hours, and I mean 5 hours, 8 hours, 16 hours plus, of waiting to get in and play.
