Beta Weekend for Star Wars: The Old Republic

<div style="width: 500px; text-align: center" align="center">If you have been anxious to play Star Wars: The Old Republic, now is your chance! This month, Bioware is going to stress test their servers by hosting their biggest testing weekend to date. If you signed up for beta testing before 11/11/11 then you are in luck. If you didn't sign up for beta testing before 11/11/11 you won't be receiving an e-mail from the Star Wars dev team, but you still have a chance to participate. Bioware has given beta codes for people still wanting to participate in the beta (listed below). You must be at least 18 to participate.

If you have already gotten an e-mail saying that you have been chosen to test the beta, do not try to get one of the codes from one of the external websites and enter it. It will kill your chance to play in the beta. Even if you don't get a chance to play the beta, Early Access for pre-orders starts on December 15th, leaving you with just enough time to play before the game is officially released. Also remember to apply to one of the guilds and sign the roll call if you haven't already.


If you have questions contact a member of Op:X leadership focusing on Star Wars:</div>

Is there another beta weekend coming soon? Like this weekend? I haven't seen any specifics.

They're forums say it screws up someone elses chances not yours if you take a beta key and your already getting an email.

"By taking a key, you'll deny someone else a chance to test the game - so please do not apply for a key you will not need!" straight from the forum http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=600760&highlight=beta+key

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.

Straight from the email that was sent to everyone that signed up for beta testing before 11/11/11

Even though I haven't gotten one for THIS weekend? I had one for last weekend, but didn't participate.

That's pretty crappy that a website would put out what sounds like bogus beta codes.

They put out extra codes for people who didn't recieve an e-mail and still wanted to take part in the beta. If you received an e-mail then there is no need to get a code from an external site.
