Release Date for SWTOR: Knights of the Fallen Empire

Hello fellow Jedi Masters and Sith Lords.

In less than 10 days give of take 1 days difference for timezone and all, SWTOR's newest expansion "Knights of the Fallen Empire" will be arriving.

With the release we will be experiencing new story content, new characters and a whole new mystery to unfold. This is the good news.

There is one thing, i only discover just recently, which was the Star Trek Online's newest expansion "Season 11: A New Dawn" will also be releasing on the 27th of October as well.

Talk about timing.

But that said, at least we know Stonewall will be a very busy for a good while with both STO's and SWTOR's expansions.

I hope everyone enjoys themselves when you begin playing them.

See you all in-game for STO and SWTOR.

Also, the Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns expansion releases this Friday, October 23!

Teenie little update/correction.

Subscribers before the servers enter maintenance (looks like the quoted time is 2359h PDT, Monday night) get early access starting Tuesday, October 20. So, three hours and twenty minutes from now.

My understanding: Servers go down at 2:30AM PDT tonight for Patch 4.0.0. Those subscribers eligible for Early Access will have immediate access to the expansion content when the servers come back up. Those subscribers not eligible for Early Access will get access on October 27th. F2P / Preferred players cannot access or purchase the expansion at this time.

All other subscribers will be able to access the content on October 27th, 2015.

So if someone has received two or one of those rewards does that mean they don't get early access, or if someone has 1 to 4 of those rewards that they can get earlier access?

Cause im reading it as, those who have subscribed from "August 10th to October 19th, 2015" are eligible for early access. I hope i'm not miss reading this,

I read it as the "Early Access Bonus Reward" is for those who were subscribed on all 4 of the monthly subscriber reward dates. To make it even more confusing, the first reward deadline was extended from July 31 to August 10, so I think either date works for that one.

To qualify for the Early Access Bonus, you must have qualified for each of the four rewards by being a subscriber on each of the 4 listed reward dates. Once you qualify you may enter and play Knights of the Fallen Empire on October 20, 2015, seven (7) days prior to live launch on October 27, 2015.

It's all clear as mud, right? :angry: That's why I expanded a bit on what Sej wrote. I expect there will be a lot of confused/angry subscribers tomorrow who aren't eligible for Early Access...

I read it as all 4 to earn early access as well. When I get home time to patch up I guess.
