Post by: Kurtt on September 29, 2011, 10:37:01 PM: Start refreshing those inboxes folks, according to this (http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?p=9487235#edit9487235) thread by Chris Collins, EU Beta invites have started.

All the best boys. Hope some of us get in (and by some of us, I mean me... :P )

Post by: Kurtt on October 04, 2011, 07:30:16 PM: Aaaand all invites have been sent.

If you don't get one in the next 10 mins, you likely won't be in this weekends beta.

Dont want to be in beta anyway.

And thats the truth.

I finally want to walk into a recent mmo not having ANY prior knowledge about anything in it from having beta'd it.

One thing I like about SWTOR is that even though I've seen a lot of it, and even played a little, there's still so much to discover. It's why I've steered clear of vids of later content.

Post by: Kurtt on November 11, 2011, 09:24:49 PM: I has three invites...

Judging by Mr Reid's post for those who didn't sign up before 11/11/11, if they get a code via a 3rd party website, they need to sign up before 18/11/11. Looks likely it'll be next weekend then.

Should keep me going till launch!

Greetings Teleute,

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.

As a reminder, should you choose to participate, everything associated with this test (game information, process, forums communication, etc.) is confidential and may not be discussed outside of the Game Testing forum. Additionally, your participation in the Game Testing Program is subject to the Game Testing Agreement.

May the Force be with you,
The Star Wars: The Old Republic Team

So I guess I'll see you all there ;-)

I might just do what I did with Rift and enter as opposing faction, and play a class completely different to what im going to chose at launch.

thast what im going to do

Hello everyone! We are excited to have you joining us for Beta Testing Weekend! We can’t wait to get you all into the test. If you just received your invitation today, you can visit www.swtor.com/tester to download the launcher and begin patching the game.

To simulate a launch environment, testers who have accepted new invites to weekend testing will gain testing access in staggered intervals based on when their invites were accepted. The first group of testers will be able to log on beginning on Friday morning (11/25) at 10:00AM CST (16:00 London, 17:00 Paris/Berlin). Then, Saturday and Sunday at 10:00 AM CST (16:00 London, 17:00 Paris/Berlin) the second and final waves of testers will gain access. Please watch your email for details about when your phase of testing begins. This will come in a separate email from your invite.

To our existing testers: at 10:00AM CST on Friday 11/25, you will notice several new servers appear in server selection for the weekend test to accommodate all our weekend testers. You are welcome to create characters on these new servers, but please note that they will only be available for the duration of the weekend test, which ends on 11/27 at 11:59PM CST (11/28 5:59 London, 6:59 Paris/Berlin).

All testers share forums at this time, so please welcome our weekend testers, who will be active in these forums for the duration of the weekend test!

Post by: Mangala on November 22, 2011, 09:12:15 AM: Just a note. Yes we will be in beta this weekend, but that doesnt mean I want to see spoilers here, newbie guides to this that and the other or anything that will remotely ruin the "new game smell" in december. Hell i am even going to try and not find things to bitch about as I consider that bad form too in this case ;)

I'll delete posts that even think of thinking about the above. Only discuss any bugs we find and such like, that way in 1month when we still see them we can lol :D

(Oh and when its live in december, lets not look up instance strats or anything, and remove people from our groups if we have to pug who try and say "this is how you do it". We are a pretty competent bunch and really do not need to look up hints and tips for things in this day and age)

Post by: Chug on November 22, 2011, 10:42:01 AM: Typical. I've decided to roll a Republic for the beta, and you're all going Empire *sniffs armpits*..oh that's why.

After rinigng up Bioware (how old school is that!) and being on hold for TWENTY......SIX......MOTHER.....FUCKING.....MINUT ES I finally got through to some obnoxious dick who really couldn't be arsed to help...but I finally coaxed him into telling me my security question answers before he hung up without even saying goodbye...

It's downloading now...hopefully I started it early enough to get in on Friday aft seeing as though I'm out all Sunday. I think a sick day is in order.

Nah. From what I've read, you don't even get into act 1 until about 25 hours in, so I figure there's plenty of story left for when it goes live.

Post by: Goatboy on November 23, 2011, 12:15:56 PM: I created my account on 25th July 2009.
But apparently I didn't give them my full contact info and named my unborn child after them, so my account wasn't eligible for beta testing.

And I only found out about that on 22th November 2011.

SWTOR.com is currently unavailable while we perform scheduled maintenance. Please check back again soon!

Their site has been giving me a ball ache for the past two days. Either EVERYONE wants to play this game or they really need to do some stuff to make their web tech run smoother.

some kiddies forget that betas are for testing, and fun is an added bonus if you can get it.

Post by: Mangala on November 23, 2011, 05:31:33 PM: Site is that rammed, I cannot log out of 1 account to log in with my actual account (I found a way to check my secure answers without ringing them up).

Sooooo messy, and the fact that 99% of the US is off from today is just going to make it worse.

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoilers content.

Client page for downloads: http://mumble.sourceforge.net/Main_Page

No spaces in names, run through the setup correctly before trying to connect. (Cant think of any issues folks will have had).
