It's hard to believe that after all this time,
Star Wars: The Old Republicis launching in less than a month. As you would expect, the game is making its final testing pushes for players. According to
Stephen "Rockjaw" Reid's
Twitter feed,
players selected for the final testing weekend will be seeing schedules
sent out over the next 12 hours, with players allowed to start testing
either Friday or Saturday, starting at 11:00 a.m. EST. Existing testers
and visitors to the site will also have to contend with some degree of
maintenance trouble, as the site is experiencing an understandable
groundswell of traffic.
The final push also means that
the deadline is approaching for players to get in on the Pre-Launch Guild Program,
which ends at 11:59 p.m. PST on December 2nd. This means that players
who fulfill all the requirements will be able to transfer their guilds
straight into the live game -- but they'll have to finalize everything
before the deadline. So if you're a guild leader with a few things left
to finish up before launch, the holiday weekend might be an ideal time.
