With early access for the release of Star Wars: The Old Republic begining today, those that pre-ordered the game through either Origin or a traditional retail outlet will get access to a queue that will eventually allow you to start your SWTOR adventure before 12/20.

Bioware isn’t allowing everyone in at once in an attempt to stem server crashes and bad performance during the opening weeks of the game’s release.  Waves of Padawans, Knights, Sith Warriors and Bounty Hunters will be added into the list of entrants Bioware is allowing into the game, as the developer lets players in periodically until the scheduled December 20th release and launch of one of the biggest MMO’s in recent memory.

*There are reports of long staging times to get in on the action, being day one and all, but that is to be expected.*

With the game finally begining to become a reality, what is your plan? Are you one of the handful that are diving head in? One of the fence sitters that wants to see how things play out? Or are you hardcore against the “Force” and hope Thrall kicks everyones ass that’s looking at the game?
