I lost interest the minute it became clear that EA/BioWare were simply copying WoW.

Yes, yes, I know that every MMO copies every other MMO.... but TOR shows no signs of wanting to be something more than competition.

This, it looks like it's copying WoW too much.

Anyway I too was about to ask about the emails as I was thinking maybe it was some scam being sent out and I didn't remember ever being accepted. Glad to see it's just a screw up.

LOL, came to see if I was the only one who got some stupid "thank you" emails. Fuck you Bioware, sheesh. I'm pretty sure it was deliberate.

Why is my hyper going down so much so fast? I kinda want to cancel my preorder.
It's what the game does to you.

I usually give games the 20 level test for mmos. This hasn't really passed it. By a few levels sure, but not really past that

Earlier today, two e-mails were sent to members of the Star Wars: The Old Republic community. These e-mails were sent to a larger group than intended, and have caused some confusion in the community. We can confirm that these e-mails were from EA and BioWare and apologize for any confusion they have caused. Please note that receiving these e-mails does not affect your chances to be invited to test the game. Thank you all for your understanding!

God damn, I got so excited and confused when I saw the e-mail about taking a survey for the beta. I really would like to play the game before it comes out to know whether it's going to be worth spending any time in. Guess I'll just have to be satisfied with using the early access as my evaluation :/

The beta explodes after a certain amount of time. Like a message from the CIA. Or Inspector Gadget.

Bleurgh.

How long do I get to play for anyways?

I'm guessing this is one of them?

"Tell us what you think


We hope you are enjoying participating in the Game Testing Program and want to thank you for helping shape the most anticipated MMO to date.

We've posted a fun short survey for game testers, and the results have been really interesting so far. Answer a few questions and see what your fellow testers are thinking. After the survey, hit the forums to talk about your experience or get gameplay tips"

I've never seen an invite to the game ...

messed around with the beta for 2 months and im still hyped for it.

BUT with all these games coming out so soon it might get lost in the shuffle.......(maybe)

got it from them too. what a fuck up. wow.

got it too. I'd LOVE to give feedback, if only they'd give me access to the fucking game...

"Now that you've had a chance to experience your own Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ saga, make sure you don't miss out when the game launches."

Yeah sure.

People's reactions to the e-mail. lol - fuck off with your self entitlements.
No way man. They sent me a link that wasn't click-able. This disrespect of paying customers will not stand! Cancelled my pre-order, going with ArenaNet's click-able link guarantee.

I just got these fucking emails about enjoying my beta experience. WTF. I guess it's a mixup. I never saw any signup, and the /tester page is still not saying shit.

fake edit: LMAO everyone got 'em.

It's all good in the hood.

I didn't get any emails whatsoever. Starting to think I fucked up my beta application when I did it a long time ago or something. That'd be unfortunate.

Hahaha I see I'm not alone in receiving those emails. I was half asleep this morning when I read them, I don't think I've ever woken up so quickly! :)

Hehehe, same here. Bioware is a magnificent troll.

I got the same thing... how annoying!

Oh well, after playing this at Eurogamer I have to say, I really wasn't impressed at all.


I'll be waiting for Guild Wars 2, methinks

Shocking!
 
I was super confused when I got that mail this morning. It shows what I think of EA that my first thought was "this must be a mistake" rather than "did spam filter eat my invite?"

Shame we can't troll them back by filling in the survey with the thoughts on our participation :)
 
I got the emails to, and I was freaking out thinking I was in the beta but had missed it some how. It would be really cool if they let everyone that got the emails in, but I am sure they wont.

Because I'm sure everyone is going to give it such gushing praise if they could speak out.

You'd be surprised. I'll tell ya now, there's much more praised than negative. Or as we should be thinking, "not giving a fuck".

Not everybody is willing to risk their beta slot by breaking the NDA.
It's pretty obvious by this point that nothing will happen unless you flaunt it/stream/post photos (and not even then if you have some sense).

On every gaming forum I know of there are multiple dudes rampantly breaking the NDA for over a month so...

I'm not even sure why they have the NDA myself. It's so polished at this point.... If I were EA and LucasArts, I'd WANT the publicity.

Haven't got an invite this whole month, checked today's two email and finally got my hopes up. Opened them and it says thanks for participating in the beta, I am like thanks a lot Bioware for nothing. Checked SWTOR gaf thread and everyone got the same email.

SW:TOR beta is a big disappointment.
 
As many of you guys I have also preordered and am waiting but I wonder if I should have this option enabled or it doesn't matter?

Sign up to receive Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ updates by email.

I hate useless mail so I never mark these options but in this case perhaps I should enable it? I mean if I get selected and this is not enabled can they still contact me?

I would suggest enabling it, but keep your expectations low.
