Last month we expanded our Pre-Launch Guild Program with the implementation of Phase 2: Alignment, where guilds could designate other guilds as allies or adversaries. Now, as Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ moves ever-closer to launch, we are excited to announce that we have initiated the first part of Phase 3: Deployment!
Phase 3: Deployment will see any guild that meets the pre-designated criteria be transferred into the game for launch. Before we begin this process, though, we want to give all of you who are in guilds the opportunity to make sure your guild meets the following requirement for transfer:
Four members of the guild must have pre-ordered the game and redeemed their Pre-Order Code at the Code Redemption Center.
(NOTE: We have removed the additional requirement for the guild leader to log in to the website and verify that their guild remains active and wants to be imported.)
To help clear up any confusion as to whether or not your guild is ready for deployment, we have now given each guild page a small status indicator. This indicator will show you the number of people in your guild who have pre-ordered the game, and will inform you whether or not your guild meets the criteria for deployment into the game.
Now is the time to make sure that your guild meets the criteria to be transferred into the game so visit the Guild HQ now! Make sure to secure your copy of Star Wars: The Old Republic by visiting our Pre-Order page, and then redeem your Pre-Order Code at the Code Redemption Center to ensure that your guild is among the first to explore The Old Republic!

Matt, your best bet is to nuke the Empire side guild for now since we can't be signed up in 2 places for the early guild creation stuff and then when the game goes gold, I'll make the Empire guild so we can get alts fired up and joined in there. I still want us to be able to play both sides. Seems we can't do it until the game releases given the requirements they mentioned in this article up above. Once you nuke that guild, join up with the Republic guild we have and we can go from there. If you pre-ordered, that will give our Republic guild the last pre-order member it needs so we will automatically have our guild when we start playing. Seems a lot of the members who signed up to the republic guild didn't pre-order but yours will give us the go ahead for these new guild creation rules they hit us with. I'll probably poke you in Steam chat later tonight.
