I just downloaded/installed Star Wars: The Old Republic, registered and everything, but when I sign in it says that my account doesn't currently have an active subscription. I assume this is where I would need the beta code given to randomly selected players after signing up for a chance to test the beta. So I'd like to know, has the beta testing phase ended for good, or will there still be testing periods before the game's release where they choose random players for it? I'd definitely still like a shot at testing it but from the looks of it they've pretty much stopped selecting players for it, since the game comes out in a month anyway.

You had to RSVP, I believe by a certain time. But otherwise it ends in about 6.5 hours. (11:159PM CST)

If by that you mean downloading installer, registering on the site and signing up for beta testing then I've already RSVP-ed.

You would get an email that you had to click a link in and say you were going to participate in the beta sometime last week.

I'm just gonna see if there will be a free demo/trial when the game comes out to see if I like it. I've watched the gameplay footage and unfortunately they haven't caught my eye nearly as much as the cinematic trailers have. I don't think it'll be worth paying $13 or so a month for a subscription but I really hope I'm wrong on that.

That said I'm perfectly fine waiting 21 days.

the gameplay felt very fresh to me, yes it takes some ideas from MMOs past with the hotbar of abilities, but the animations, sounds, and choreographed melee combat made a huge difference. It didnt feel like mindlessly mashing spells or wildly swinging swords all over the place like many MMOs. My melee weapons connected and parried with the enemy's, and my guns sounded like authentic star wars weapons.

It will be a long while before there is a trial. There are 2 million pre-orders and EA will be busy keeping them happy for now.
