[Chaltalian]

To those of you trying out the game, thanks for presenting your feedback here! It's really great hearing about the game from people who are playing it first hand! :)

[Scraggles]

I wish we weren't bound by the NDA. I've got over 1000 screenshots to share with the world and almost 50gb of video

[Osiris]

I hear theyve expanded the beta and some players have invites...any friendly folk here care to share with this neowinian :)

[Chaltalian]

If you're planning or thinking about becoming an Imperial Agent, then you'll like this video. :)

Also, more details on Early Game Access have been revealed. [Link]

Preorderd CE from walmart ( seems they are only ones with CE and precode still ) , will see how it goes

Target and newegg still have CE, but no preorder codes

[S00N3R FR3AK]

Got a invite for this weekends test, Skyrim will wait.

[Hell-In-A-Handbasket]

well my Preorder code for CE says shipped, should get it @ work when i get in.

heres to hoping walmart didnt hose me out of a CE Preorder voucher

Got it, entered it, good to go

[Noveed]

I think I will have to find my CE box and code, I hope I have not lost it or my ?25 deposit with Game goes down the drain and I will have to fork out more money >.<

[Razorwing]

I can't even get on one server, it's just too packed.

I got an invite email but no code, am I missing something here (and I don't mean the code :))

[S00N3R FR3AK]

Got on tonight, just wow. I won't play to much this weekend as to not spoil anything but I am pumped for this game.

Has anyone received an email stating that they have been selected for a beta weekend test? I received one in the past but I didn't participate because I read the email after the test period ended. This time, I received the following email:

Greetings Anaron,

Your account has been selected to participate in an upcoming Star Wars?: The Old Republic? Beta Weekend Test. If you have previously tested or are currently participating in an ongoing test, you will be invited again. Additional details for this upcoming test will be announced soon.

As part of this test, we will be partnering with games industry sites to distribute additional beta codes as necessary. This will help ensure we meet our population goals, so we can effectively stress test our servers in preparation for launch. Please do not acquire and redeem one of these codes as it could jeopardize your ability to participate in this test.

I logged into my account and went to the tester page but I don't see anything other than "Squadron 367 | EXPIRED".

Anyway, this is the first invitation I received (in early-October):

I got invited to one also, but nothing came of it. Maybe a future one, with dates tbd?

[Nagisan]

I got another invite (already played through the first invite I got) and has the game balance changed much? Up to level 15 at least, the healer is the most powerful solo class, able to do pretty much everything solo, and the others started to really lose their edge in solo situations. Is that still the case? If so, its a shame the developers haven't done something about it......after playing through one beta, I just don't know if I can play through another.....it was just that bad IMHO.

[McCordRm]

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO GOT A NOTIFICATION, BUT NOT AN INVITE!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There's a huge stress test coming up, and that's what you'll be invited into.

The invites aren't out yet, obviously, but they're coming. So don't panic...

grab your towel and chill out, it's wasn't a mistake. :)

[S00N3R FR3AK]

It's not just huge everyone who signed up before the 11th and anyone who gets a key from several gaming sites is getting in. This weekend was like the stress test for the stress test for launch.

[McCordRm]

It's going to be epic.

[Valerus]

I'm a level 10 sith warrior now, been playing it since last night. I'm impressed with the game. Although I've died like 6 times already, I am finding it to be more fun than LOTRO. (and I'm a LOTR nerd, not a SW nerd)

I don't know if I'll have the time to keep up with this game though..

[Minifig]

I must say, I really enjoyed my time in beta and I'm really anticipatory for the 15th.

[Hell-In-A-Handbasket]

Still havent gotten an invite, been signed up over a year ago, preorder put in earlier this month.

Bit ohnwell, not really worried about getting in beta, wont be able to actually play at release either as walmart shipping sux.

Grats to those that got in, im planning on planing a Sith Assassin, or Jugernaught.

See you on the other side next year ( when i get the retail box )

[Slane]

Curse is giving away 175,000 keys. So ya go sign up. :p

[spacer]

Got a invite for this weekends test, Skyrim will wait.

I got the invite too, but I didn't notice it until 10:30 Sunday night. :/ I really wanted to play too. Oh well.

[Razorwing]

I got the invite, downloaded the game, and couldn't get on any servers because they were all full. I just gave up and went back to Skyrim.

[Valcrist]

I got the invite too, but I didn't notice it until 10:30 Sunday night. :/ I really wanted to play too. Oh well.

If you were invited to this weekend, chances are you will be in the next weekend beta (which will be the final one).

[SMELTN]

If you were invited to this weekend, chances are you will be in the next weekend beta (which will be the final one).

Affirm this was confirmed by the Dev team. After this past weekends test I can't wait till the game is released.. My only problem now is, during beta weekend, I didn't want to play the class that I plan on playing on release (which is Sith Sorcerer) so I played a Bounty Hunter.. problem now is, after playing BH this weekend and getting him to level 18, I must say I am REALLY digging BH now.. So much so that now I can't decide which I wanna play at release. I have played Sith Inquisitor on my last beta weekend invite about a month ago, but I only got to level 10 and stopped..
