Star Wars: The Old Republic increases invitations to this weekend's beta test
While Star Wars: The Old Republic's beta test weekends thus far have been small and intermittent, BioWare hopes to make it up to anxious fans by kicking off a much larger beta event. The studio posted that it is in the process of inviting "more players into testing than [it's] ever invited before in a single weekend" over the course of today in preparation for this weekend's test. This next beta weekend will take place from October 7th through the 11th and is separate from the ongoing closed beta. BioWare also asserts that players who aren't accepted into this test will have future opportunities in the additional beta test weekends before the launch. SWTOR beta test invitations will come straight to players' emails and can be verified by logging into your account to see whether the beta client is available for download.

Star Wars: The Old Republic 'Beta Test Weekends' begin in September
In addition to announcing special editions of varying fanciness levels, BioWare and EA also have some news about when some of us will be able to play Star Wars: The Old Republic. Starting in September, the developer will hold "Beta Test Weekends," allowing "selected players" to check out the game early. If you're interested -- and about a million and a half people were as of March -- you can sign up at the website. If you're not interested, you can just wait until this holiday season; that's the most recent launch window for the full game. Then again, that information probably isn't very relevant to you, seeing as how you're so disinterested.
