Star Wars: The Old Republic Taking Beta Signups July 9, 2010

Want to play the highly anticipated MMO Star Wars: The Old Republic before it hits shelves?

Bioware, who is making the game, and is responsible for making such hits as the original Knights of the Old Republic, Dragon Age, Mass Effect, and Jade Empire, is now taking beta tester requests for Star Wars: The Old Republic, a massively multiplayer online game which will continue the popular Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic storyline.

In an MMO, beta testing is critical.  Problems need to be found and fixed before the game hits store shelves, and with the amount of users expected, the servers need to be stressed to make sure they’ll be able to take on a full load of users.  It will also clue the developers into just how popular the game is going to be, and allow them to plan ahead how many servers will be needed, and just how many copies of the game should be manufactered.

Go to this website, sign up, and get a good chance you can play this game before it hit store shelves!

Star Wars: The Old Republic will be released to the PC.
