Game Testing Portal Confirmed

, posted March 25th, 2010 at 4:18 PM

Sean Dahlberg of BioWare confirmed what people were speculating about for the past day:

You have indeed found the login portal for Game Testing. That said, this is not a new page and we are not ready to make any additional announcements about our Game Testing Program. When we are ready, we will make sure The Old Republic Community is the first to know

If you havent signed up yet to be a tester or wish to learn more, access our Game Testing Portal.

And a few minutes later, he posted again:

A couple of quick answers:

Yes, it is indeed called the Game Testing Program and not anything else. As when we originally announced sign-ups, 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.

We thought about waiting until it hit 2,000 posts but figured it was more important to get the information to you sooner than wait.

Good insight, Skyewauker.

In regards to swtor.bioware.com, just know that we'll always keep the TOR Community updated here

I would have posted the announcement sooner but I spent too much time working on this (not really).

And then again:

It means it'll be on swtor.com (or the TOR Newsletter) first. Whether that is the news section, forums, newsletter, etc... stuff like this we want to make sure the community knows about first.

And just FYI, swtor.bioware.com has been around for a while, too.

If you haven't already done so, then this might serve as a warning to perform an update scan of your computer or register if you would like to be considered for testing.
