SWTOR Pre Launch Guild Program Update

Published by under Breaking News on Nov. 29. 2011.

In a email that was sent to the community this afternoon by Bioware we learned that the Pre Launch Guild Program will be ending soon, here is the details from the news post located here.

A few weeks ago we announced that Phase 3 of our Pre-Launch Guild Program had begun. Phase 3: Deployment allows guild members to see whether or not their guild qualifies for transfer into the game. As we approach Early Game Access for Star Wars™: The Old Republic™, we want to remind all of you in guilds that the Pre-Launch Guild Program will end on December 2nd, 11:59PM CST so that guilds can be assigned to servers for Early Game Access.

This is your last chance to:

Make any changes to your guild
Ensure your guild meets requirements for deployment into the game
Designate your guild’s Allies and Adversaries
Review and accept pending guild applications

So how do you ensure that your guild makes it into the game for launch? It’s simple! All you have to do is make sure at least four members of your guild have pre-ordered the game and redeemed their Pre-Order Code at our Code Redemption Center. Once you’ve done that, you can check your guild’s page within the Guild HQ to see if you have met all of the pre-designated conditions.

If your guild does not yet qualify for transfer to the game, you still have time. Visit our Pre-Order page, secure your copy of Star Wars: The Old Republic, and redeem your Pre-Order Code to help ensure that your guild makes the cut for launch!

To learn more about guilds in The Old Republic, check out the Guilds Game System page for details and visit the Guilds FAQ for answers to commonly asked questions.

*Customers who pre-order Star Wars: The Old Republic will be able to play the game before the official launch. “Early Game Access” is the period of time before the official game launch when pre-order customers may access the game. Early Game Access may be up to 5 days. The length of your Early Game Access depends on the date and order in which you redeemed your Pre-Order Code at the Code Redemption Center. See Pre-Order FAQ for more details.

**We will make reasonable efforts to ensure that qualifying guilds are imported into a server that meets your specified preferences, but we cannot make any guarantees given the anticipated volume of guilds (among other factors). All server placements therefore remain in our sole discretion. We also cannot take responsibility for technical errors or glitches that prevent your guild from importing into the game as planned. See Terms of Service for more details.

Also here from the email is the fine print that you might be interested in reading. It has some interesting insights into the how and why of the program.

* At the end of the Pre-Launch Guild Program and before your guild is deployed to The Old Republic, guilds on the website may not be altered in any way. This includes creating/disbanding guilds, adding/removing guild members, promoting/demoting guild members, adding/removing allies and adversaries, as well as changing guild’s server type, time zone, and language preference. During this period, guilds can continue posting in their public and private forums. For more details, visit the Guilds FAQ.

    ok … what Guilds are in play for the staff at SWTOR-Life and SWTOR-Spy?
    There is limited time left to add adversaries and allies.

    Kinda late on this one folks, was announced on the 23rd, and I got the e-mail on the 24th. For a site with so much promise this is disappointing 🙁

    @lewy wow that is weird because I just got the email that I based this news post around yesterday afternoon, I guess I am not as special as you are, lol.

    @Zlatto man, I would like to come up with a awesome answer for you on this one truth is we never got around to trying to set up a guild for us all. We should have and I wanted to but with Swtor-Life and all the chaos that is Swtor-Spy we just never had time to do anything with a guild. I joined Dalqak’s guild, Mongbat, I think Daelda is in Mantell Syndicate and I am not sure about the rest actually.

    me and Grant were actually talking about starting one yesterday and between us we have like almost 15 years of guild leadership experience so it would be done well, it just always boils down to the same issue and that is a lack of time to do all the things for swtor that I would love to do. I hate that it has to be that way. 🙁
