This is NOT a review – just my thoughts on what I have seen and played.
The Star Wars – Old Republic Beta was a short affair taking place over the weekend of the 8th to the 10th of October, the Beta itself was invite only and was meant to give Lucasarts a chance to test out their server backbone under load and gather just how many bugs still remained in the system. From my personal experience I had one single disconnection (which I’ll cover more later) and aside from a minor bug with my companion the experience was blessedly bug free. In reality what I am about to write should be covered under the Lucasarts NDA, but since I am about the only one to visit here right now I don’t think they will cotton on ;)

After reading the initial posts on the Battlelog servers just after the beta test was released one would have thought that the BF3 game engine was so unbelievably flawed that it was never going to see the light of day in a playable form. There was plenty of angst and not an un-generous helping of bile being spewed by a great many players who seemed to forget the concept of what a Beta was. A great many have (or so they say) cancelled their pre-orders though given the number of ‘boycotters’ who went on to play COD MW2 one cannot help but think that a lot of this is idle bravado and seeing who can piss furthest up the wall.
