<p>Star Wars: The Old Republic, the last great hope of there ever being a popular MMORPG that <I>isn't</I> World of Warcraft, has now gone into beta testing. You should check your inbox if you registered as a tester, but don't get your hopes up. It appears that the first wave of invites has been predictably small.</p>
<p>The official announcement from Bioware leaves much to the imagination. Rumors suggest that current beta testers only have access to a limited event that will take place over the course of a few days and will only make the Sith Inquisitor and Sith Warrior classes available. Details will probably remain hard to come by, as <a href="https://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=155695" target="_blank">Bioware has repeatedly posted public reminders</a> that sharing information about the unfinished game is not allowed.</p>

If you haven't signed up for early access to Bioware's first MMO, you're not out of luck yet. The company is <a href="https://swtor.com/tester" target="_blank">accepting beta applications</a> and it could be months before mass invites are sent out, so there is still time to sign up.</p><p><a rel='canonical' href='https://www.techspot.com/news/39592-star-wars-the-old-republic-beta-test-officially-begins.html' target='_blank'>Permalink to story.</a></p><p class='permalink'><a rel='canonical' href='https://www.techspot.com/news/39592-star-wars-the-old-republic-beta-test-officially-begins.html'>https://www.techspot.com/news/39592-star-wars-the-old-republic-beta-test-officially-begins.html</a></p>
