My Oct 15 pre-order reg got me in at 9:08 (EST) this morning!

So far all I've done is grab a bunch of names; I managed to get Arabeth but don't bother friending me yet 'cause that's just a placeholder at the moment. (It's actually really annoying that you HAVE to start playing the game each time you make a character - I mean, I'm all for "not WoW" but sometimes they did something so well that anything less looks like you're just a bit dumb or lazy.) Anyway, for those wondering, you get 8 character slots a server (hmmm, 8 character classes as well you say?) and there's no Republic/Empire restrictions, so you can make both types on the same server. (I haven't seen this kind of basic info anywhere else yet, so just trying to spread the news.)
Also, the opening cinematic is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can't wait to go home and actually play!
