SWTOR: TESTING BEGINNING!!!!

[Anamodiel]

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 can't take a nap now because I have to keep an eye on this to make sure everything is set with my account.

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.

[Tbone]

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.

[Adad]

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

[Tbone]

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.

[Demiabeille]

Done.

[Subb]

Done.
