“As anticipation grows, BioWare also proudly announced today that Star Wars: The Old Republic will open “Beta Test Weekends” starting this September. These weekend play sessions will be open to selected players worldwide and create an opportunity for fans to get a sneak peek of the epic stories, worlds, quests, battles and characters in the game. Please visit http://www.StarWarsTheOldRepublic.com to register for game testing and to stay tuned throughout the summer for more details as they become available.”

I went to Gamestop and pre-ordered the CE. Dunno if I’ll be able to save up for it by release.

#43

Thy gave me the standard edition pre-order code instead of the CE. ><

According to http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=385040 I have to tell them to use “500750” code for the CE at their register.

#44

I went back, and gave them the code. The new pre-order code is CE. Yay.

Now, I have a spare, unused standard edition pre-order code…

I was looking for guilds because I don’t want to be a guild leader and decided to re-search “guild” in this thread. I found 4 (why?) Brannigan’s Law, but one with JollyAndy. I also found Grabthar’s Hammer with a member named LadySioned. Unfortunately, they’re both Sith guilds! ):

#46

I’ve been going on an EU tear the past few days. I’ve been devouring info on http://starwars.wikia.com for instance.

I knew about Chewbaca, but [spoiler]Mara Jade[/spoiler] too? :eek:

I’ve been trying to decide which class/AC to play. I’m waffling between Guardian and Sentinel. I’ll prolly play Trooper Vanguard during beta.

#47

Yeah, a few of the Skywalker/Solo Clan have biten the dust. It’s a long time ago (1-2 years) since I’ve read a EU novel. Maybe the new Timoty Zahn one will be enjoyable since it is set more in the timeline of the Original Trilogy.

Everything you wanted to know about Consulars (but was afraid to ask).

The top video was cool. But, I had to laugh at the ending. d:

Analyst: Star Wars: The Old Republic Could Sell 3M
http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/36509/Analyst_Star_Wars_The_Old_Republic_Could_Sell_3M.php

“The analyst revealed that it now estimates The Old Republic will sell roughly 3 million units in its first year, up from its original estimate of 1.5 million units. It also believes that the game will see around 2 million subscribers in total during the first year of sale, up from an earlier estimate of 1 million.”

New predictions for SWTOR sales: 3M units!
http://massively.joystiq.com/2011/08/11/new-predictions-for-swtor-sales-3m-units/

“Gamasutra reports that Cowen and Company originally predicted sales of the Star Wars MMO to be approximately 1.5 million units with subscription retention at about 1 million players. However, Cowen and Company has now increased that prediction to 3 million unit sold in the first year with 2 million steady subscribers. With EA taking few other risks this season, it spells high hopes for anyone investing in the game developer. However, if anyone is keeping score at home, that number is still below the 4.7 million sales of World of Warcraft: Cataclysm – though it’s quickly catching up.”

WoW reportedly has 250~ servers. I wonder how many SWTOR will need/have.

Guild Testing Program Details
http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=431775

"How do I sign my guild up for Guild Testing?

All you need to do in order to have your guild considered for Guild Testing is to have an active guild with at least 10 members registered in our Guild Headquarters. We also recommend creating a recruitment thread on our forums, but please make sure you are following the Recruitment Guidelines we’ve set forward. Guilds that spam recruitment messages after multiple warnings, for example, will not be considered for Guild Testing."

LFG Republic side!! d:

#51

You in the beta? or on the SWTOR site fastcart?

#52

Not yet in beta. I’m fastcart on the site. I haven’t made any posts or anything there yet though.

#53

http://www.swtor.com/guilds/47059/millennium-force is the guild I’m in, Republic side

#54

A big my bad. In my haste, I forgot to mention I’m interested in PVE and medium to hard core level raiding. ): I was excited when I saw US East (EST) and 30 members though. ):

However, thanks for the link. Hopefully, another PVP Republic inclined GWCer will show interest. Sorry and thanks again.

#55

Yeah we’d be doing that

#56

Spoiler alert!

#57

It’s a trap!

#58

Still stoked and waiting!

#59

in the event anyone else is currently in beta, send me a pm and we can quest/instance together some. I run the 501st Legion guild in game (yes, i got special treatment from bioware for helping them out on some stuff). If you are playing sith side and want in, we’re not 501st exclusive, but we do require you not be a dick in game if you have the guild tag
