Now that the excitement over the announcement of the pre-orders for Star Wars: The Old Republic has started to fade, I wanted to point out that BioWare also announced that they “will open “Beta Test Weekends” starting this September“. This information was released as part of the press release from earlier today, which I’m sure it was missed by many already pre-ordering their copies of SWTOR.
The press release goes on to say that these weekend play sessions will only be open to selected players as an opportunity for fans to get a sneak peek of the epic stories, worlds, quests, battles and characters in the game.
I’m assuming these weekends will be part of their open beta test phase and towards the end of the month they’ll be conducting their stress tests, which hopefully means they’ll be picking thousands of players to join in.
Also if this really is their open beta test phase, then this could mean we’ll see a launch by October hopefully.
