The site is down because of the overwhelming response already.
We are excited to announce that we are now collecting information for those interested in applying for the opportunity to test Star Wars™: The Old Republic™. Our goal is to get feedback to help us make the best game that we can.
We will be selecting testers from the Star Wars: The Old Republic community based on various requirements such as systems specifications, age, and region. Because the testing program requires feedback from within the community, you must have an active Star Wars: The Old Republic (“TOR”) community account to participate (no banned accounts). The testing is limited to members who are 18 years of age or older and requires the acceptance of the Game Testing Agreement included in the TOR community sign-up process. Users that meet the requirements of the test and are selected for inclusion in the test program will be contacted via email (so make sure your email address is up to date!).
Game testing for Star Wars: The Old Republic will be rolled out in several phases over an extended period of time. These test phases will begin with smaller, tightly focused test groups, and later tests will expand.
Want to get your name on the list of potential testers? First, make sure you are a registered member of the Star Wars: The Old Republic community. If you’re not already a member, click here to become one today! Be sure to check the box to indicate you are interested in becoming a tester. If you’re already a member, go to the Game Testing Portal to begin the sign up process.
Please keep in mind that there are no guarantees that you will be selected once you have completed the sign up process. For more information about testing Star Wars: The Old Republic, take time to read the Game Testing FAQ.
We look forward to your help in making Star Wars: The Old Republic a success!
BE SURE TO HAVE AN ACCOUNT REGISTERED IN THE COMMUNITY AS SOON AS THE WEBSITE COMES BACK UP.

I've had an account since October 2008... so I can't wait :D
-
awesome.
-
I can't take a nap now because I have to keep an eye on this to make sure everything is set with my account.

Oh God, Darkfall flashbacks.

That is the part of the website that you will need to go to, after your account has been registered (if it hasn't already), to fill out the application.
Thank all of you for your patience and understanding. The team is still working hard and we'll update you when we have more information to share. That said, the sign-ups will be there tomorrow (and after that). This is not a first come, first served Game Test. So feel free to give that F5 key a little break. - SeanDahlberg

Hopefully more developers in the future will also learn from Aventurine's fine example.

Just got totally through. Just keep trying when it repeats steps.
-
I was able to get to the screen where you put your name in. After I click submit, it takes me back to agree to the terms and continues that loop ad naseum. I've been getting emails about my account being updated, though.
-
Yes, the same was happening for me. Just keep trying. I just made it through after going through all the steps dozens of times. It kept going back a step or 2. Just power through
-
I'm not at home. I'll just wait until tomorrow when I'm on my own computer since I have to submit a system scan anyway.
-
Done.
-
Done.
-
I'm still getting the loop...
-
Ok, I was able to scan my system. How do I know if it went through. Once it scans, it just sits there showing me my computer information and won't let me go anywhere else. When I refresh, it takes me back to agree to the terms.
-
This is so damn screwy...

Go to your account and at the bottom of the screen there should be a small checklist underneath the part where you said 'yes' to being a tester.
-
It had "no" checked and when I clicked "yes", it took me back to the Terms.
-
Ok, now it says "yes" but it says System Scan is incomplete and I can't find a way to complete it. I even updated Java...
-
Woo! Managed to get through it. Persistence. Once the Scan is over with, in the bottom corner of the pop-up window should be a "Submit and Complete". Click that and everything will be squared away.
Be sure to be using Mozilla or Internet Explorer. It doesn't like Chrome.
-
Hmm, now that I go to see my account details it takes me to the 'create an account' page when I'm already logged in... :Z
-
I didn't have a submit and complete button. I'll try again when I get back home.
-
If you hit submit and complete, you're not good until it says you are now signed up. I hit that several times and it would repeat steps again. Wait til you get the confirmation page. Did anyone get an email or anything upon completion? I had no indication other than the page that said I am now signed up to be a tester.
-
finally done. Had to install mozilla to make the scan work however.
-
Keeps kicking me back to the ToS. I'll keep trying when I get home. I'm wearing down my iPhone's battery. :P
-
Be sure to be using Mozilla or Firefox. (no Chrome/Safari)
Be sure to have the latest Java Update (www.java.com)
Be sure that the page is completely done loading. If you're choosing your account name, make sure it has a Checkmark next to it (and not a spinning whatever).
Even after doing all of those things it took me a while. I think what did it for me was going to the www.swtor.com/user/account and creating the Account. Once my account was created, I then went to www.swtor.com/tester and signed in AFTER I CLICKED THE CONFIRMATION LINK IN MY E-MAIL. I then went through the three steps and it brought me through right away.
-
All signed up and ready to go!
Another thing, don't spam the submit button, even though it takes a while, it has a better chance of going on the next step then by spamming.
Also the time frame in which you take between pages also has an effect cause i would go back to the account creation page where all my info was saved from the last few times i had gone through redoing steps and clicked submit and quickly used the cache'd info for the next pages to quickly go on with the steps, finally getting my account created.
Also, worry about signing up for the beta and scanning till after the account is officially created.
As Ana said, It's easier since after wards all you have to do is sign in and put in the info for beta instead of all the Account creation info all over again.

Long story short, my laptop motherboard fried or something yesterday. I'm on my desktop with IE and the fucking thing loops out at scan system. I guess I'll need to get Firefox.
