Got an email just a moment ago, another beta weekend:

You?ll be able to begin testing Star Wars?: The Old Republic? very soon! Your test begins:

Friday, December 2 at 1:00 PM CST

Same here. Like just. Did it elaborate 'weekend'? The email said 'final beta testing' and yes, the client from Turkey day weekend still patches up and appears ready to go.

The Turkey Day updater can be updated to final release. It's been said numerous times. I will also be in this "final" test, which makes me quite happy.

Yeah, just to log into your account details.

Hopefully I can get into this weekend's test but haven't received the email yet.

My beta weekend was smooth and I had no queueing experience thankfully.

Got the email as well, woot..... didn't expect that. Now I can play again.. somehow Skyrim is not appealing anymore after the beta weekend :(

Walmart canceled my preorder ( along with a host of other peoples, according to support its an actual cancel ) because I got only the error email have it also preordered on Newegg, so if you ordered from Walmart, would be a good idea to check the status of the order

Dear All who got to test this weekend gone,

I hate you! :D

That is all

I am looking forward to this, and actually quite glad I'm not testing because I just know I would play it too much and ruin it for release day

yeah thats why I was trying to play other classes than what I thought I wanted to play when the game comes out. Problem is, I ended up loving some of those other classes and now want to play them!!

ahh makes sense. Wonder what pre-order numbers are up to? Last I heard they were at like 800k

Last I heard it was unconfirmed at over the 1Mil mark, but that's unconfirmed! The thanksgiving weekend beta hit over 2Mil unique users

With the preorders and anticipation, I hope they don't screw it up As it might very well de-throne king kong

I'll echo Hell's sentiment, of all the ones that have come and gone since '04, this is the first one I've played that could give WoW a run for its base. Like WoW did with its predecessors, it has the sameness while also adding some nice refinements. Plus, light sabers still trump pandas.

I have a strange feeling this game will be played a lot in the first few weeks and then the number of players will steadily decline. The game offers very little outside of voice acting to set it apart from other MMO experiences and it even lags behind other more recent MMO's in its game play (RIFT, STO and many f2p MMO's even). This game will last only as long as it takes for the Star Wars skin to lose its luster.

I agree as well. It is going to be huge at first, then by the time everyone hits 50, thats it.

I'm really hoping the game continues to do well. It wouldn't take much to "upgrade"

the game later on with stuff like proper space combat, etc. Right now, the big draw

to me is Huttball. If they add more PvP "sports" combat like that, I'm in for freakin'

life.

I feel the same way as well.

      $80 or 90%, anything else would be financial suicide one way or another.

      Or... just use Bitwarden. Free, and has on-prem option as well. Works both on desktop and mobile, wherever you are. The age of local password files is over.

      I actually got to use one of those so called "backup codes" once. It was for a customer, I choose the backup code option, and by the grace of god, they actually hade them printed out. Imagine my surprise, when after using the backup code, Google then told use we had to enter a code they just sent to the gmail address we currently did not have access to. I was not amused, Google backup codes should be the end all get out of jail free card, because you had to have access to the account to even get them.

      On the topic of being locked out of a service. Recently two different friends of mine got locked out of their Google accounts. Both were hack attempts and one of them is waiting 30 days before he can get back in. He had backup codes and MFA but not a passkey. It was a browser token hack. Anyhow he has to wait 30 days for the dispute or whatever to end. The other person only had a password and is screwed losing all of the email, docs and years of photos. Google won’t help her at all. Her fault because she had no backup/recovery setup. Enable passkeys if possible. Also do NOT use browser based password managers. If using a cloud service make sure it is one you can fully sync to one of your devices so you can back it up. Like a PC or Mac with some backup drive plugged into it. Google is the worst to use IMHO. You can’t sync your photos at all. You have to use the “Take Out” service which is manual and takes days. That service strips the meta data from your photos. Also Google Docs synced to a device are useless without a Google accounts. MS Office/Libre Office is not going to open a link to a Google doc to a dead account.
