I registered 2 days after pre-orders went up and I'm not in yet.   Kind of pissed but I guess I'll get in later today at some point.

[Surlyboi]

Just try logging in, I didn't get my email yet, but I tried for shits and giggles and got in immediately.

And, I registered on July 21.

[Amaron]

Yea some of my guildies are in and I'm listening to them on Vent.  Seems basically only first day pre orders are in at the moment.

[Cyrrex]

I seemed to have exercised massive amounts of patience and self control, because it appears I pre-ordered on the 22nd

And that is why patience never pays off.

[Amaron]

Is there some place to look at when you added the code?

So apparently you can see when you entered the code by going to the code redeem page in the account thing.   I redeemed on the 22nd as well.   They are clearly being way too cautious.   They let in like 750,000 people on the one weekend and had no problems.

[Jherad]

Probably why they added on a couple of extra days. Ease things in on the first couple of days before they open the floodgates.

Yeah, I bought on the 21st but didn't realise I had to enter a code until the 22nd   (I foolishly assumed pre-ordering through Origin would have been enough). Oh well, later today hopefully. Just need to find something else to do rather than hit F5 and check my email every 5 minutes...

[Sobelius]

I'm in. Made my toon, etc. Pre-order code entered July 21.

Received no email about being in yet -- just launched game to see before I go to work and now I'll be late for work :)

[Surlyboi]

First one in BC. 

[Jherad]

I didn't register until 9/5... I'm still going to be F5ing all day though. 

[Lantyssa]

Off to work.  We'll see if I'm in by the time I get home late this evening.  I'm expecting Thursday or Friday though.

Might be first game I got my first choice for my names....including Sky!

Registered code first day.

First one in BC. 

More like second. Bwahaha!

[Merusk]

Hm.. preorder says I registered 7/28.  Didn't think I waited that long it must have taken Best Buy a while to get me my code.

[Zephyr]

I pre-ordered on the 21st as well, but later in the evening after I got home from work.  No invite for the first wave.

[Amaron]

I have to say this is the stupidest plan I've ever seen for letting people into early access.   They can't even tell people when they'll let in the next wave today?  They're getting their panties in an awful twist over the possibility that their servers might be just a little bit overcrowded.

Sounds to me like you're getting your panties in a twist over a game giving people the opportunity to play it almost a week before it's officially sanctioned to launch, at which point none of this pants-on-head silly argument will even matter

Actually I'm just annoyed I woke up at the butt crack of dawn and they can't even tell me if I can go back to sleep.

Edit:  NM second wave just went out and I'm in  .

Have you tried posting to the official forums, Am?  If they're truly subscriber-only you shouldn't be able to post w/o it being active.

2nd wave just went out and I got in  Registered on 22nd

Well it is a rather moronic way to let people into an early release. Day-of emails (given all their problems with even sending emails) are a pretty dumb way to spring access on people. So they either are doing some RNG drawing to see who will be in today, or they have the schedule of accounts for access and they are being dicks about not releasing that. It won't matter in a week or two, sure... but it matters now - which is all that is really important in a gamer's mentality. It also makes me raise an eyebrow as to how much other shit down the road they are going to be bitchy secretive about.

YESSSSSSSSS  

[Falconeer]

I preordered two copies in September in two different online stores, Amazon and Play.com. And from both, I only received the redeemable code on November 2nd, more than 45 days later. I checked, and on both accounts it confirms I redeemed on November 2nd. Maybe things were different in Europe, so I need some feedback here: when is the earliest Europeans got their "early access" codes? No matter when I ordered, it's like I couldn't do anything before November 2nd.

EDIT: Ok, read post from Zetor.

[Zetor]

I preordered through origin (yeah I know), and received my preorder code right away. I know that origin is an evil rootkit and whatnot, but I won't need to install it anyway.

Doesn't matter.  You already signed the EULA saying that if they ever "Oops" with your account/billing info, it's not their fault nor can you take them to court.

Wave 2's cooler than Wave 1.
