Get an Email Talking About The Old Republic Beta? It Doesn't Mean You're In

If you've received any emails suggesting you're in the Star Wars: The Old Republic beta but had previously gotten no indication you were actually in the beta, you don't have to worry about them coming from spammers. They also don't mean you're now in the beta.

A pair of emails were sent out to a number of people yesterday who had signed up for the beta. One provided some encouragement to pre-order and mentioned, "Now that you've had a chance to experience your own Star Wars: The Old Republic saga, make sure you don't miss out when the game launches." The other offered thanks for participating in the beta and provided a link to a survey about the game. This left many people wondering if they had been added to the beta and not been informed.

In a post on the official TOR forums, senior community coordinator Allison Berryman explained that the emails were accidentally sent out to more people than intended. Having received the email doesn't mean you're in the beta right now, nor does it guarantee an invite is on the way.

"Earlier today, two e-mails were sent to members of the Star Wars: The Old Republic community. These e-mails were sent to a larger group than intended, and have caused some confusion in the community," she explained. "We can confirm that these e-mails were from EA and BioWare and apologize for any confusion they have caused. Please note that receiving these e-mails does not affect your chances to be invited to test the game. Thank you all for your understanding!"

In a follow-up today, senior online community manager Stephen Reid stated that receiving the email doesn't disqualify you from getting a future invite -- more testers are still being brought in "and our next Beta Testing Weekend is being planned right now."

Of course, it is possible you've already been invited and were unaware of it. You can check your beta status here. If you still aren't in, look out for an email coming from no-reply@bioware.swtor.com, not the address that sent out yesterday's emails.
