So I get my invite yesterday to swtor exactly 1 year 3 months after I signed up. Odd timing to offer the beta and It just seemed ludcris to even ponder taking any time away from absolute glory to partake in what looks to be more of the same only maybe with a wookie. I have had Skyrim for exactly 12 hours at this point and the only words I have are ... I am literally rendered speechless from time to time in my playthrough. This is what Elder Scrolls is supposed to feel like. From the incredible in depth character creation (this time all races look cool) to...well everything else beyond that :D. I got out of the intro scene and after parting with my companion and saw some buck out in the woods and decided to go hunting, found a hunter camp, robbed it, got caught by the returning party, killed them, looted them, and then finally found a hilltop and took a picture of the sunset. This is RPG brilliance at its absolute finest. This year has bestowed upon us gamers with 3 fantastic worlds to explore. From Witcher 2 onward to Dark Souls and now finally the pinnacle of them all SKYRIM!!! THANK YOU BETHESDA!!!

Same damn thing happened to me. Personally I am going for the beta this weekend, it's only for the weekend. I will have months and months with skyrim.

I'm in the same position. These are good problems to have. :)

Everything's wonderful and the OP isn't happy.

After all the press in the past few months as well as countless bland videos on youtube I have fallen out of excitement with SWTOR. My cousin has my old code and he will be playing it this afternoon.

I got it as well

This might be like what Blizzard did with the Wrath of the Lich King beta. Near the release date, they let a lot of people into the beta. I can only imagine it was a stress test because everything was shit. Whole new degrees of multi-minute lag. Oh, the wailing of the entitled beta folk who viewed all the new invitees as interlopers. I'd say, if you haven't already decided on a Star Wars purchase, try it out. Otherwise, why waste vaulable Skyrim playtime.

Ya I'm in the same boat, but since TOR is being a bitch and every time I have to reopen the downloader it magically pops in some new 10+ GB to download I doubt I will get to play it this weekend. I played the alpha several months back so it's not that big a deal, but I do want to fire it up at some point and see how it handles on my system since I upgraded my video card and the game has hopefully been optimized some since early alpha.

Yeah, I got one as well. I've downloaded it and all that jazz, but when will it actually permit me to play the damn game? Is it right at Five o' clock tonight?

Heard more than a few stories like this. Play the beta while you can, Skyrim will be there for a long while.

Yea, same here. I was kinda upset at first, but I know that I'll have Skyrim afterwards, so no big deal I guess.

I got an invite as well, I'm going to try it out but I think Guild Wars 2 looks much better.

I'd rather have a GW2 Beta invite than a SWTOR Beta invite.

Same thing happened with me, I guess their trying to take a jab at skyrim.

I received it too and I gave it away to one of my friends, too bad for SWTOR but this weekend it's SKYRIM!

The invite is not for this weekend's test guys. Invites for that went out a few days ago. The invite you all got is for a future test..

same for me. im not gonna play it.

I got an invite yesterday as well. Luckily, if you got invited to the test this weekend, you'll automatically be invited to participate in the rest of the weekend tests from here on out.

Got my beta invite as well. Color me uninterested in a beta for anything at this time of the year.
