PC Gamer has a "competition" running for 12,000 Beta key giveaways.  You can enter here https://www.futurecompetitions.com/OldRepublicbeta/Default.asp?

I've entered, and if I get one I'll give it up to someone here.

Just make sure that if you have already registered for beta that you dont try to use a outside beta key, they said "Please do not acquire and redeem one of these codes as it could jeopardize your ability to participate in this test."

Just to be totally clear, these beta keys are for "an upcoming beta weekend" and if you registered as a tester prior to the 11/11/11 annoucement (everyone's getting a key!) by SR you WILL NOT need to get one of these keys.

The point of that test is to bring as many people as possible (upwards of 1 million signed up beta testers and as many as half a million more from keys passed out to websites) into the game for a super stress test which I believe one site says will be "4 or more days."

This further confirms my belief that the weekend will be Thanksgiving.

Turkey be damned there's testing to do!

I will not at all be able to participate if its Thanksgiving weekend, which is unfortunate, considering it will be a longer stress test period. I will miss the PVP on Tatooine!


...And we will strike down upon those of Darkness, with great vengeance and Furious Anger, those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers.

Found this on the Forums:

Hello testers! We are preparing to deploy a new build of the game!

This Thursday, 11/17, at 7:00AM CST (13:00 London, 14:00 Paris/Berlin), we will bring the servers down for maintenance. Then, at 10:00AM CST (16:00 London, 17:00 Paris/Berlin), the servers will become available again with a 20GB patch, which will contain the new build.

You do not need to uninstall your previous game installation, but we do recommend uninstalling in order to save space on your hard drive and to assist with any necessary troubleshooting.


Good news: characters from the last phase of testing will not be wiped and will carry over to the new build!


Thank you all for your participation in the test!


So it might be this weekend that we all get in....

And this:

This Thursday (11/17), in addition to the six permanent servers remaining open, we will be introducing a high-level testing server in order to continue gathering feedback on high-level content. Each player that logs into this server will be granted level 40+ characters of each faction with a randomly assigned species, gender, and Advanced Class. To change your randomly-assigned characters’ names, exit and re-launch the game. When you log back in to the server and select a character, you will be prompted to rename all granted characters.

You may experience some technical issues that we are unable to resolve. We ask that you report any serious bugs you encounter that are content related – meaning anything to do with missions, environments, Flashpoints, etc. However, please do not report bugs directly associated with the character, abilities, or equipment.


We encourage all of you to spend time with these characters and help us test our high-level content more thoroughly! Thank you very much for your participation, and we look forward to your valuable feedback!


IF Weekend Testers get in on this I'm checking this out for sure!

5. All information posted for testers is currently only relevant to those who are not weekend testers. This includes information about the new build and high level character server.

Damn... sorry everyone for getting our hopes up :(

I wish they had told us that sooner. I'm sure we would have continued power leveling right up to the last second had we known that so we could get even further this time. Ughhhh.

Now I'm going to have to make time on Thanksgiving weekend. This blows.

I just received a PM on the BSN giving me a key to the beta. Anyone know if I should enter this key or not? Getting mixed signals from Bioware.
I used to think I was perfect. However, thinking ones self perfect is conceit and conceit is a character flaw... I have no character flaws.
