During each of these weekends a new, random group of players is invited to participate in the testing of The Old Republic. All players are eligible to "opt in" for the opportunity to via Bioware's website.
Players who are selected for these invites will receive instructions for accepting the beta invitation via e-mail sent to the address associated with their SWTOR account. Players can also check on their beta invite status any time by visiting Bioware's website.
