I got a feeling that their website is getting pounded with everyone trying to sign up.

Wow, thanks for the link Tillamook, the sites down but I will make sure to sign up as soon as its up. I have to say I'm a bit surprised they went to beta already. "If we don't attack them, they will attack us first. So we'd better retaliate before they have a chance to strike" |

To be honest I think the game is more complete then they let on. The slow release of information is probably a better strategy in my opinion. |

You think? Good timing too, people are now learning that Aion can only fulfill their deepest fantasy for pointless grinding. Not that that's a bad thing, I liked EQ2 for about a year myself. Aion isn't a bad game, but I have the feeling that if you are looking for something new, TOR might be it more so than Aion. One reason I never bought it, even though I liked it in OB. I kinda knew this was gonna happen, expect TOR within a year or so.

That was more so directed towards those that say MMO players don't care about story. As for Aion, I actually ordered it last night pretty cheap. Figure I would play it till ToR comes out. It's nothing new, but it's better then playing WoW another year. |

Or their website is incapable of handling as many people as some believe. Irrelevant comments aside, thanks for the link Tillamook. I hope Bioware isn't one of those companies that announces beta sign ups years before they are actually ready to take in beta testers (cough jumpgate evolution cough). Time to sign up!
On a side note, I feel like beta testing this game would ruin it for you more than any other game because you will have seen the stories by the time it is released. Oh well Tried: LotR, CoH, AoC, WAR, Jumpgate Classic |

I wouldn't doubt that either, I still stand by what I said though. |

Yeah, that's why I'm trying really hard not to sign up. I want to walk into this game, day 1 and everything be new. You could overcome the story issue by say picking a class you won't play in live I guess.

Yeah, I guess if you just pick one class and stick to it the entire beta, the story will only be ruined for that class, unless all of the class stories some how tie together at the end, which would be a bad idea if you ask me as it would kill replay-ability. Tried: LotR, CoH, AoC, WAR, Jumpgate Classic |

I think there are 2 overarching story lines to follow. You may only get a taste of the bigger story.

Very much so, that's why they keep a pretty standard flow of how and when info is released.

Thank you for visiting www.StarWarsTheOldRepublic.com. We are making adjustments to the site due to the overwhelming response to the testing announcement. Please be patient and check back later. We estimate that the site will be back up in the next few hours. Danke für Deinen Besuch auf www.StarWarsTheOldRepublic.de. Wir nehmen aufgrund des überwältigenden Zuspruchs zur Ankündigung des Spieltests zur Zeit einige Änderungen an der Seite vor. Wir bitten Euch um Geduld, und später noch einmal vorbei zu schauen. Wir nehmen an, dass die Seite in den nächsten Stunden wieder online sein wird. Merci de visiter www. StarWarsTheOldRepublic.fr. Nous sommes en train d’effectuer des réalignements du site à la suite de l’impressionnante réponse à l’annonce du test. Nous vous prions de vous patienter et de revisiter le site plus tard. Nous supposons qu’il sera de nouveau en ligne dans les prochaines heures. --- Yea I am def testing it. I want this game to be the best it can be, and to do that I need to smash, blast, and beat the heck out of it. That way they know what still needs worked on, like server capacity :p and so they can fix it, make it better, so those problems aren't there at launch. It sounds like this going to be really focused testing, probably having it set up for certain classes areas to be worked on. I don't think it's going to be the type of beta that we pick and choose what to test, I think they are really going to have a lot of control over the testing. I think that's part of why they are going to be cycling through player each test session. So if you want to save the story, best bet is don't sign up for test till they get out of the early stuff, sign up as late beta tester.
