Depends on which era you try to reach Alderaan in. If it's after ANH, no luck there. But if it's in the TOR era, it'll be easy as pie. Plus no need to contact LucasArts, since BioWare already spoke on their forums about it. They said the only 2 things testers can say without breaking the rules is that there is a testing, and that they are part of it. Also, BioWare has NEVER called this a beta, only Game Testing, so y'all are putting words in BW's mouth by calling it a beta. :P

I don't understand some of your Star Wars intialisms.

ANH=A New Hope, the original SW movie. That should be the only "initialism" that's hard to understand. TOR=The Old Republic, BW=BioWare. :)

Is it possible to become "super active" within the next ten minutes?

hopefully this means in the near future someone will leak some videos of the game in action

It's started for 2 separate sets of people doing different classes. Also that's the best looking Jedi right there.

Apparently being registered, visiting daily, but not ever having posted is just not enough. :(

Ugh, no invite but there was an email informing me of the Syberia games being 50% off at gog.com so that's good news.

The 200 are most likely celebrities and/or the owners of the top TOR fansites. Don't bother looking.

I want to know what a 2-day test can accomplish. Launch conditions, maybe, but they must be very concentrated on certain aspects because there is no way to get a complete test in 2 days.

It is simply the first of many. This is focusing on the starting zones covering levels 1-7 apparently.
