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.

      While I agree with all that, it just proves there's an a** built for every seat.
    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models

      Lol are you mad because I'm not using AI? I'd rather pay people than lose a bunch of potential customers and get humilated because I used AI. A lot of people won't purchase a game if it used AI during development.
    • LibreWolf 152.0-1

      By Copernic · Posted

      LibreWolf 152.0-1 by Razvan Serea LibreWolf is an independent “fork” of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy security and user freedom. It is the community run successor to LibreFox. LibreWolf is designed to increase protection against tracking and fingerprinting techniques, while also including a few security improvements. This is achieved through our privacy and security oriented settings and patches. LibreWolf also aims to remove all the telemetry, data collection and annoyances, as well as disabling anti-freedom features like DRM. LibreWolf features: Latest Firefox — LibreWolf is compiled directly from the latest build of Firefox Stable. You will have the the latest features, and security updates. Independent Build — LibreWolf uses a build independent of Firefox and has its own settings, profile folder and installation path. As a result, it can be installed alongside Firefox or any other browser. No phoning home — Embedded server links and other calling home functions are removed. In other words, minimal background connections by default. User settings updates Extensions firewall: limit internet access for extensions. Multi-platform (Windows/Linux/Mac/and soon Android) Community-Driven Dark theme (classic and advanced) LibreWolf privacy features: Delete cookies and website data on close. Include only privacy respecting search engines like DuckDuckGo and Searx. Include uBlockOrigin with custom default filter lists, and Tracking Protection in strict mode, to block trackers and ads. Strip tracking elements from URLs, both natively and through uBO. Enable dFPI, also known as Total Cookie Protection. Enable RFP which is part of the Tor Uplift project. RFP is considered the best in class anti-fingerprinting solution, and its goal is to make users look the same and cover as many metrics as possible, in an effort to block fingerprinting techniques. Always display user language as en-US to websites, in order to protect the language used in the browser and in the OS. Disable WebGL, as it is a strong fingerprinting vector. Prevent access to the location services of the OS, and use Mozilla's location API instead of Google's API. Limit ICE candidates generation to a single interface when sharing video or audio during a videoconference. Force DNS and WebRTC inside the proxy, when one is being used. Trim cross-origin referrers, so that they don't include the full URI. Disable link prefetching and speculative connections. Disable disk cache and clear temporary files on close. Disable form autofill. Disable search and form history...and more. LibreWolf 152.0-1 changelog: Upstream release, see the Firefox 152.0 Release Notes Notable changes: The AppImages are now built on Codeberg along with the other releases We have decided to wait a bit longer to enable the settings redesign, due to use being aware of multiple upstream issues Download: LibreWolf 64-bit | Portable 64-bit | ~100.0 MB (Open Source) Download: ARM64 | Portable ARM64 Links: LibreWolf Home Page | Addons | Screenshot | Reddit Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

      "I know for a fact I'll never own one of these." This is why choice is better than government regulation. Globaly Android has something like 72% of the smartphone market. Granted the vast majority of that is low end phones. Apple can and should charge whatever they want. The market will decide if it is too much.
