SW:TOR Now Taking Beta Sign Ups
By Jeff Moeller at 4:00pm on September 30th, 2009 | Comment
For those of you who haven’t heard, you are now able to opt-in for beta testing of Star Wars: The Old Republic. The official site was down for most of yesterday when it was announced, but it seems to be more stable now. To sign up, you have to register for the official community, and then proceed to the My Account section of the site. From there, you will have to enter information like your name and address, and then have their site scan your system for what type of hardware and operating system you are on. Also note that the system scan only works under Firefox and Internet Explorer, as I found out when I tried to sign up using Chrome yesterday when the site was still getting hammered, and by the time I tried it again using Firefox, the site was back to being down.
