The Old Republic beta signup

You're not guaranteed a spot, but it's worth a try. I don't play MMOs, but I thought this might interest some of you.

Thank you for visiting www.StarWarsTheOldRepublic.com. We are making adjustments to the site due to the overwhelming response to the testing announcement. Please be patient and check back later. We estimate that the site will be back up in the next few hours.
Hehe.
Yeah, I'm not much of a fan of these types of games, but I'll try if I can.

I signed up yesterday, but there are three forms you go through - legal, information, and system test.

I got kicked out the first try, but then I tried again and managed it. Running the hardware test now, I hope I can play it..

EDIT: Well, I passed the test. But guess what? I clicked Submit, and it took me back to the first registration step! I had to go through it six more times before I was finall signed up. Glad that's over..

Hoho, that isn't quite appropriate. But, if lying about ur age is what you would do, well......... :cpu:

Better be able to give detailed reports. And there is a chance the might ask something age-related, which u don't have.

I think it's done so they don't have people saying "Cool, I can play this before anyone else". Guess they only trust mature adults. Not that I blame them, though.

Yeah, they want serious betatesters. And for that reason, I'm not signing in. I'm old enough, I LOVE KotOR and I'd like to help them, but I just don't have the time. I prefer enjoying the game, finished, when I want to.

I wonder how many signups are actually people who didn't lie about their age, or 'll betatest seriously.

I'd rather just wait and buy the game. Betas kill the suspense, a bit like spoilers.

I didn't feel like lying about my age, besides I've had an account on their website since the day it launched and you can't edit your birthdate. Just isn't worth it, plus, I assume they'll want a nice beta review. I don't have the time either.
