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.

    • Rockstar confirms Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders begin next week, unveils cover art

      Yeah, kind of odd. I would understand it more if it was an exclusive, but to launch on both consoles and not PC seems like an odd choice.

    • Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat are free to claim on the Epic Games Store

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat are free to claim on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe PC gamers have two more games they can add to their library without needing to open their wallets, as the Epic Games Store's freebie offer has just refreshed. That means last week's Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks and The Ouroboros King offer has been replaced by two new games, which happen to be Robobeat and Citizen Sleeper copies. From the duo, Robobeat lands from developer Simon Fredholm, offering a rhythm-based action game. Released only last year, the title puts you into the shoes of Ace, a bounty hunter that's targeting the robot showman Frazzer. The fast-paced title offers movement techniques like wall-running, sliding, and bunny hopping to zoom around while shooting enemies, but the requirement is doing everything to the beat. Outside of built-in tracks, the title also lets players upload their own music to populate its levels too. Next, Citizen Sleeper lands from Jump Over The Age, a sci-fi RPG adventure taking place in a ruined space station where thousands of people are trying to survive. The tabletop RPG-inspired title uses things like dice and clocks to change how the player approaches situations and survives their day-to-day lives. There is a large range of characters to meet with in the station, each with their own storylines and alliances. "You are a sleeper, a digitised human consciousness in an artificial body, owned by a corporation that wants you back," says the developer about the setting. "Thrust amongst the unfamiliar and colourful inhabitants of the Eye, you need to build friendships, earn your keep, and navigate the factions of this strange metropolis, if you hope to survive to see the next cycle." The Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat giveaways are set to run until June 25 on the Epic Games Store, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, new freebies will take its place on the same day. They are supposed to be copies of RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 and Voidwrought. Don't forget that mobile gamers can check out the Epic Game Store's weekly giveaways on Android and iOS to grab a freebie there as well.
