    Ok guys,

    Exciting news for the videogame world. The most anticipated MMORPG for the PC (no, not Final Fantasy XIV Online)… I mean Star Wars: The Old Republic will be at the stage to need a lot of beta testers.

    If you feel you have what it takes to help make this game a great as it can be before it goes retail, come and join the beta.

    Or if you just want to try out the game at its pre-release stage of development, you can come as well… but seriously, report any bugs or issues to help out the developers.

    This was offered about a month ago now, but i'm sure that won't matter about signing up.

    When they first started the beta sign-up, the servers were down for a good 12 hours.

    Beta signup did start about a month ago... but I was sent a supplemental message (from the media/press boards) to get the word out some more.

    ... I think they are looking for more testers... or specific ones.

    Look buddy just because I'm a huge Star Wars geek and have every movie on my ipod touch and can recite the words back for IV, V, and VI does not mean you can call me a fan/nerd and get away with it.

    Well maybe it does. :D

    I think its clear that I should be first on this list.

    You do realise people who present false claims may have the FBI, NSA, CIA, MIB knocking on your door...

    I think they're trying to get people with powerful enough or alt computer setups. I don't think my T61p is powerful enough :(

    I signed up a while ago. This is my MOST anticipated game. I look forward to Mass Effect 2... but SW:TOR is in a whole other category of DO WANT!

    The picking process is still underway.

    I do not think they have chosen any one specifically yet.

    I'm betting my 1 1/2 year old desktop will eat this game. If not then it's time for a 5870! :D

    This game will not have extreme system requirements.

    ... I asked in my interview with them. ;)

    Yay, for my 7800GTX notebook.
