Has Beta Arrived?

I'm surprised nobody has posted about this yet but has anyone else read this post? It appears that there is a rather suspicious site lurking about which can be found at launch.swtor.com (the picture is below):



After a few people signed in the following screen appeared:



If you look from left to right you'll notice that it has the following 'buttons':

SERVER NAME, STATUS, TIMEZONE, & wait for it......LAUNCH GAME!

Still no word from the Devs on this but could this finally be the beta? Maybe this could be todays update.

The mystery thickens.....

Oooo... o.0

The conversation thread at SWTOR was only started yesterday and it's already at 164 posts^^

Interesting about the IP though.

B.b.b.b.beta?!?

This looks good although I was kicked in the teeth yesterday when the Bioware wide site misytery timer was only absent from the SWTOR page

I signed up ofc not sure if I'll actually take part yet if i get an invite ...

Ofc this could always be a giant pre-April Fools Day joke in rather bad taste.

Would definately be a bad taste joke... Is death sentence not allowed for joking with Star Wars ?

i dont think the countdown on Bioware, Dragon Age and Mass Effect site is TOR Beta, but a new release from Bioware with this i mean Jade Empire 2 or a new franchise. If you check the menu you will have a new next gen game, but i hope its ME the Movie.

Does anyone remember me saying about how I found one of the planets was due by simply putting it into the url address bar to see if it was reserved?

Well this ones' for you, Nord. The fact its not a "dead link" should make you smile...

Yeah I spotted that. Wrote in a post somewhere that I thought it was crock of bantha poodoo that it wasn't a "new" page though.....like the SWTOR.com nosey parkers wouldn't have found it before - yeah right! It might not be new to them but its sure as heck not been on the net very long.

Someone would have found it sooner.

It may have started or it will start soon, but if the have strated we will have heard some roumers and i think around E3 2010 the beta will start
