I hope they decide to release soon since rumors about a new expansion is "leaked" (I forgot where I read it but it was done similar to Lich King and Cataclysm leak.)
It looks like EA is limiting availability of this game at launch to ensure people can actually get in to play.
EA confirms launch copies of SWTOR will be limited.
This is both smart and really, really stupid. On one hand, it means the game will actually be playable at launch. On the other hand, it also means that guilds, friends, and families are going to fragmented, really hurting cohesion. No one wants to be left out and no one wants to be without their friends. Why would you buy a game if you didn't know if your friends would be able to get in?

Guess i need to go Camp in front of our Electrionic Store
The fanatci of the game will still camp the second wave of purchase though and giving advance warning allows them and their friends/family to plan contingencies. A casually follower who doesnt follow news, etc would probably think the game is selling really well when they find its sold out and will just wait till they can buy it like they would do any other game(That they can't pirate...that was for Gas ;p.)
Not ideal but better than Mythic's make a bunch of servers to prevents server crashes(aka classic wow launch) but end up having to merge 80% of them after the hype wears down and drive off people like me who played it casually but kept getting put off by having to find out where my guildies all moved to.
I can't really fault them considering what happened with WAR. To grow the server capacity with the enforced size of player base will keep people from ditching WoW for it, getting frustrated with either queue times or empty servers, and just returning to WoW in the end. This will enforce demand, and when people get to play once the next wave of servers and sales comes through, they won't have anything to rage over when they encounter a stable server with a healthy, manageable population.
They're limiting those too. The purchasing cap for both physical and digital is guaranteed to cap--your pre-order is apparently not a release day promise.

This might be one of those times where it is better to go to Gamestop as I assume each one is garunteed to have at least some stock on release day. Good thing I pre-ordered at an out of the way Gamestop.
Ships December 20th.

As much I would LOVE to go, "ME ME ME" I barely have time 
I may not be able to put in the hours of proper Beta like I use to do

I just ask plain and simply, "Can you invite me."
I apparently got an invite to the the previous phase of the ToR beta, as I just got emails from them thanking me for testing. I NEVER GOT AN EMAIL FROM THEM TELLING ME I WAS IN IT. Christ man... I may not have been able to play it, but I could have at least let someone else use the account in the mean time.
EDIT: Oh wait. No I didn't. And I wasn't the only one who got that fucking email ether.

Yeah, I got it too.
Me too
I got it, too, and the header info doesn't look quite right. Domain passes, but the IP-check and actual email ID do not. I wouldn't click any of those links, if I were you.

Yes from BioWare/EA, but should not have been sent. Completely accidental.

Going to be pre-ordering my digital deluxe version in a few hours.
EDIT: And done. Except now they won't let me log into my Origin account. Or check their help section. So now I'm wondering if they are still going to charge me for the game, but deny me a way to play it.

Where do I download the Origin client?
Did you try http://www.origin.com/us/about?
See, I was getting redirected directly to the store front... where there is no download.
EDIT: Oh i see why it's not accepting my password... it changed to match my SWTOR one.
Not really, but now would be the time to bring it up. You'd need consensus on whether your playing as the Republic or the Sith.
