From what it looks like (look up previous page) there is Closed Beta, where they test things 24/7, and Beta Weekends, when they invite more random people for a limited time. My guess is Closed Beta is proper beta, and Beta Weekends are just PR stunts/server load tests.
However, no streaming or recording from either. Plus, sites like Betacake report Beta Testers not really liking the game much. There are a lot of issues to be fixed, a lot of design decisions rub people the wrong way.

BattleMonkey said:This is not true, it has appeared in various SW licensed products already, including gay characters in the KOTOR series of games. No such thing has existed, and the myth came from the posting on a forum which quickly spun out of control on it's intent.
I see, sorry to mislead others. Seems like I got caught in urban myth as well.
