Same.

WIsh I could get to site and see if there is a workaround or simply "issues."

What a failure. DB errors on the forums, the forums FE throwing errors, not serving pages, the test not going live, I'm disapointed that a big budget AAA studio can't deliver a simple stress test. I work on systems that take millions of transactions per second and eat them alive.

This is just bush league.

FAIL!

I just got invited to beta, but the e-mail contained no links, no keys, no instructions, nothing. What should i do to start playing?

Once again, these are not the SWTOR beta forums. Beta-issues should not be discussed here at all. Please abide by the NDA.

Hehe, well technically seeing as I haven't actually gotten to play the beta yet, I can't violate that policy.  Believe me, when I start playing you won't see me here. ;)

From forums:

Does this announcement mean I can play Star Wars: The Old Republic this weekend (November 11th to 13th)?

No it does not, unless you have a previous testing invite - either to this weekend (November 11th to 13th) or to general Game Testing (ongoing). The Beta Testing Weekend we are referring to will happen within the next few weeks.

The whole point of these tests are to... test.. these things. Be thankful they're running stuff like this 1 month out from launch so that by the time launch comes around everything will hopefully be ironed out and smooth.

What would be the purpose in doing it if they knew that it would go flawlessly.

I think this weekend is about the last closed beta test (was supposed to start about two hours ago).
According to an additional FAQ covering this event, this will probably be the final beta testing weekend for the TOR prior to its December 20th launch.

BioWare also announced that SWTOR will be available to play at this month's Dreamhack LAN gaming event, from November 24th through the 27th at the Elmia Fair in Jönköping, Sweden.

edit
btw the beta client is no small download

The NDA states that you can mention that you've been in beta, are in beta, etc.  This is not a breach of NDA.

Discussing anything other than that, however, is against the NDA.

well I have just recived 2 keys. i only signed up for fun. since this game is not interiesing me im going to play d3 an gw2 instead. already deleted the mail from my box. the same with my brother. he also received a key, but he also signed up for fun and won, he will not be playing either.

hmm... i think other deserve those keys more than i. if i just had a d3 key i would be happy.

I got invited, but now I'm unable to sign into the website.

 Calm down emotional one with millions of transactions. It will happen soon, Not the end of the world (well maybe it is if your whole life revolves around this beta). 

It'll happen when it happens, bound to be hiccups along the way. Just wait til launch day, there'll be the usual download server queueing madness.

If the delay gets too much for you, put a darth vader costume on and live the dream.....

Funny enough I got a weekend invite as well, I'm already in CBT.  Anyway I have to ask what "keys" are you referring to? Last i checked general weekend invites are tied to accounts they were'nt using keys, did they change that?

Good thing this is just a test then, right?

You people have some scarily unrealistic expectations for a game that is six weeks away from launch.

the email people got wasn't a "You're in this weekend! Yay!" it was for an upcoming event in a couple weeks.  Basically, it was their way of saying "Don't scramble to get keys when we start releasing them this week - you're already in, don't worry."

Just got an Invite email...

But the website Is experiencing Hgh Traffic and nothing works.

If given the opportunity during the weekend I will test this and form a more on hand opinion of this game, which well, I will not be able to express untill the NDA is lifted, but at least it is overall a good thing, I did not intend on getting this game, I love the IP but have been skeptical and critical of the mechanics as perceived from the outside.

Looking forward to see it from the inside.

Cheers!
