Installed the game (Pre-order) but see a message "There is currently no active subscriptioin on this account" Activate your account here. I click on that, and see nothing to activate. Any ideas ? Anyone else see this message in the launcher?
Of course it says that, the game hasn't launched yet.
With the TOR site being down and getting wiped I can't be bothered searching twitters and other sites so no, but theyve said it over and over and over.
Early Game Access* will begin on December 13th at 7:00AM EST, 2011 and ends on December 19th, 2011 at 10:01PM EST. During this time, we will be emailing invitations to join Early Game Access based on the order in which you redeemed your Pre-Order Code. Pre-load the game client now, so you're ready to play when your Early Game Access invitation arrives. Note that download time can vary and may take awhile.
Well, since this starts in less than an hour and fifteen minutes and seemingly no one has received emails yet, it's looking like they don't plan on giving people any advance notice at all. They will probably send the emails minutes before your actual access is enabled and if it's staggered at very short intervals through out the day, a lot of fans are going to be held hostage to the system until their invite comes.
Makes sense on some counts, but it's also going to inconvenience a lot of people.
The order in which you redeem your Pre-order Code is the order in which you will gain Early Game Access before the game’s official release. So don’t wait and pre-order now!
This is very annoying... I forgot to fill out some information required to log into the client with my pre-order account and I can't go fill in the missing information because of "High Traffic"... so even if I do get access I might not be able to log into the client!

I believe they said, they will not be sending out emails until 7am eastern, when early access starts.
Even though they have said that they will let people in there in the order of codes redeemed, it was never explained how it works. For all we know it might be that everyone gets in there today, just a group at a time. So its pointless to speculate when you actually get in if you redeemed your code later.

Actually it was said that they will send out emails in waves through out the day. Meaning, people will be let in in batches.
hum, you guys really should have read the -top- of the message where I put that already
Ive edited my post to reflect the first come first served. Sorry if it confused you, but what i meant was that you dont know what the emails contain.
I.E, a code to enter and theres only so many codes accepted per day, or what.
And if you do know, please do source it.
I think you're getting confused fella. There's no code in the emails as your already entered pre-order code is all that is needed. You also don't need to wait for the email, you can just try to login to the client as was posted by Bioware.
There was something this past weekend about 'waves' of invites each day. So the first block will get in but people need to be checking their email throughout the day(s) to see if they made the next round.
I bet it will be hourly, or every couple of hours. Enough time for people to finish the first questing areas and move on so they don't end up overcrowded.
Theres a post about this on the early access part of the site. Basically the invites start today, i.e. there sending the emails out today, they'll send them at the actualy time not before: December 13, 2011, 7:00AM EST (Pacific: December 13th, 4:00AM PST; European: December 13th, 12:00PM GMT, 1:00PM CET). It as others have said first come first served. Also if you joined a guild before hand using their system and it's been imported that might bump your chances over someone unguilded. After today they'll let people in in batches.

I'm sure this has been said but...
Don't wait for an email. Just fire up the launcher and see if your "play" button is active.
During general beta quite a few people wouldn't even get their emails. Heck quite a few people never got their beta invite email they simply had looked at the tester page... and noticed they had a rsvp button.
On the other hand you might get 5 emails the same day all telling you that you have access... its one of the other things that tends to happen so far.

Thanks. Figured as much, but wasn't sure.
Theres so much disinformation in this thread i figured id try to clear it up. From what i understand, this is how it works:
Physical copies of the game from origin will be shipped on the 16th, for arrival on the 20th
Digital copies of the game will recieve their game codes on the 16th/17th

Pre-release:
Preload began already. If you can preload, you are IN the pre-release.
Pre-release is a period of several days from the 13th through to the 20th.
We ONLY know that they will stagger the invitations based upon the date of your code entry (NOT pre-order!)
This means:
1. That we dont know how many will get invited for day 1/2/3/4/5/6/7
2. That we do not know how these invitations will be sent.
3.They are first come first served.
To clarify, and referring ot the sources in the pre-order FAQ:
http://www.swtor.com/preorder/faq#q209656
TLDR:
We know little. Stop panicking, wait for OFFICIAL information and emails to be sent out.
3. Its been stated officially time and time again that it's based on a first come first served basis for when you enter your pre-order code.
Got a source? :P
With the TOR site being down and getting wiped I can't be bothered searching twitters and other sites so no, but theyve said it over and over and over.
This is definately what Stephen Ried and bioware official sources have been telling us for months.

From the "Pre load the game now" email.

Bioware, let me in!
From twitter.com/rockjaw
First: Early Game Access officially starts at 4AM PST / 6AM CST / 7AM EST / 12PM GMT / 1PM CET tomorrow. Emails will be sent around then
Second: emails will go out after that point in in waves. Yes, we'll tell you when the emails will get sent via Forums/Twitter.
Third: No, not *everyone* will get in tomorrow. We are strictly allowing people admittance by when they redeemed pre-order code.
Fourth: All server types will be live tomorrow (PvP, PvE, RP-PvE, RP-PvP). All servers available to all (no EU-US or guild restrictions).
Fifth: If you're in a pre-imported guild, no, that doesn't get you priority access- but your guild server will be there when you get in.
Sixth: No, don't ask when you get in. We will let in a *lot* of people tomorrow - but not everyone. If you're not in Day One, don't explode.
Seventh: The Forums will be back up for all who have redeemed a pre-order code just before 7AM EST (AKA, Early Game Access start).
Eighth: Servers you'll see up tomorrow are NOT the final list. We'll be adding more during Early Game Access.
