SWTOR: Quicker access granted

Since the official release of Star Wars The Old Republic, thanks to the game's mega popularity, Bioware has had to deal with connection issues. Players had to wait in queues for several minutes but according to the latest news from Bioware developers, things look good now.

Nothing is annoying as waiting to play for a game that you have been waiting for months. In this case, SWTOR has much to offer than first playing experience. Possibly the only game that can match World of Warcraft's popularity, millions of players have been on SWTOR servers since its early access. As the game went officially live this week, there has been more and more players connecting to the servers.

According to the developer notes on SWTOR official forum, Bioware has addressed majority of the waiting-time issues.

The BioWare Live Team has been carefully watching the influx of players into the game and is addressing with surgical precision the longer wait times on the small number of servers that were having longer wait times previously. We've also being doing our best to get every little bit of possible performance on our servers to increase capacity: we’ve “turned them up to 11” to do our very best to get you in and playing as quickly as possible. As a result - you should now be seeing significant improvement versus waiting times at the end of last week.

We're also addressing the concerns about losing your place in line if you happen to disconnect for some reason before getting into the game. We've been working very hard on this and are performing final testing on potential solutions.
