Early Access - Sooner than expected?

[Deminion]

Game arrival, nothing about early acces yet, figuring end of the week, as i preordered in the start of the month.

[Vargen]

I've not received anything yet either, and I pre-ordered late summer I think. I wanna play!

[DarkAngel]

Just got a email saying its been posted, should get pre-release play tomorrow, and now we know the server good times

[Deminion]

I fired up my launcher, and are currently dl'ing some 10gig file. But no invite mail yet.

[Twyst]

Hmmm, I've been keeping mine up to date, and don't recall a 10gig download..... Maybe that's an indication of early access?

I know it starts in 1 hour, 35 minutes but damn. I can't help checking my mail, here and swtor.com frequently!

The Game officially launches on December 20th, 2011 at 12:01AM EST (Pacific: December 19th, 9:01PM PST; European: December 20th, 05:01AM GMT, 06:01AM CET). There will be no ‘grace period’ post launch in which those who are in Early Game Access will be able to continue to play the Game without completing the following required steps for launch:

    1. Fill out your contact information
    2. Set up minimum 3 - maximum 5 security questions to protect your SWTOR account
    3. Redeem a Product Registration Code (This is different from your Pre-Order Code. Your Product Registration Code is the code tied to the official Game.)
    4. Sign up for a recurring subscription or enter a Pre-Paid Game Time Code

Point 3 might be why I am having trouble.  I did the electronic version and downloaded (using what I believe is the pre-order code), but have not had any email with a Product Registration Code.

You won't as that code comes in the CD box. The digital download CD codes will be mailed out, starting on the 16th if you bought from Origin.
The Early Access Code is completely different.

So I awau yet another email then for a 3rd code?   Jayzus, how complex can they make it?

So in summary, I am awaiting a Product Registration code (expected to be emailed from 16th) and another email for the Early Access Code.

Why the heck not have one code which delivers what you bought?   Grrr......

There are only 2 codes at this point, the Early Access code and the Product code.
You have already applied your Early Access code to your account and now you just wait to get the email telling you when it's live. It's that simple. I guess I'm not in the first wave.

My head hurts, I think I'll go and play WoW.   LFR anyone?

[BrotherTobious]

Yes, in short

code 1: is the code to being able to get the early acces.
code 2: is the code you get by mail to get the early acces (to start playing before the 20th)(where we all are waiting for at the moment)
code 3: is your final product code that you will need on the 20th to fully activate your account and play the game.
