i got an invite to the final round of testing mine starts sometime today. Am quite looking forward to giving it a spin

[amdavies]

It's going to sell bucket loads.

It does feel like a single player game with multi player aspects but it's so good that it doesn't matter.

the beta downlaod is nearly 20 gig!! insane fools. Its taken me nearly 2 days to download it.
but its now ready and my access opens at 4pm.

dont finish work till 5 and I would put my saving s on there being a massive queue.

But still very much looking forward to playing it

[Steve A]

Mines downloaded and ready to go ... (all excited)

[HalloweenJack]

both me and the missus are playing from 4pm (or when she gets in) - big big download it was

Just so you know its actually released on the 20th Dec.

It was originally 20th = US and 22nd = EU - but they changed it so all access on the 20th now!

Also for pre-order purchases you may get in as early as the 15th Dec (depending on when you added your preorder code to your account)

i just jumped on a US server it had no lag. I am level 5 am loving it so far gotta fight a beast but he is huge and killed me twice. I could put alot of time into this game though

Had the closed beta early this year and ive got to say they really have listened to the community, the changes so far are very good i.e character creation is much better with alot of information about the class etc. Running much much much better than closed beta, could hardly tolerate lag spikes etc .

Unfortunately i somehow logged myself out and had to relog... sat in a queue ! Looking for place to preorder from though while stuck in this queue.

Currently 4 English servers up, 1pvp rest pve cant believe how many german servers there are! And hopefully they will improve the graphics as it didnt look that great .

[danroyle]

we need to work on a hexus friends list for those on it. Will make it easier to form parties

[Zhaoman]

I got the Saturday slot! I'll be working hard in studio tomorrow though so I'll only be able to play it sometime in the evening. Can't wait to check it out!

Does Greedo shoot first?

[amdavies]

Han shot first, even Lucas secretly admits this:-

Watching BW bring up additional servers to deal with the traffic has been fun, they've seriously underestimated the numbers who would be logging on.

That's what the test is for - better now than for the paying customer.
