Did you pre-order a copy of Star Wars: The Old Republic? Are you in the early access program? If so, I hope you have better luck getting into the game than most players seem to be having. While the game’s early access program has officially launched, the official website servers are having a tough time keeping up with the sudden influx of players.

Making the problem worse is everyone repeatedly spamming the site to see if their early access program has begun – users are to be added in a staggered rollout over the next few days. If you’re waiting to get in, remember two things: One, you should receive an email when your access goes live. Two, it’s just a game – you can make it a couple more hours without playing. Relax on the F5.

With the launch of SWTOR's early access, EA and Bioware officially begin their experiment to see what happens when you spend more money on a video game than anyone has ever spent. While there are some that suspect the game will go down in flames, all recent trends point to the title becoming a success, even if not a massive one.

Has your early access opened up yet? Let us know how the game is handling new players!
