We officially started Beta 3 today!
Here are important notes:

  • We will be inviting 5000 new people by Friday (go easy on those F5 keys)
  • The NDA is still in place. We?ll let you know when it has been lifted.
  • We will be adding more people next week and the week after. We would like to ramp up to 50,000 by early May.
  • The process is mostly random, but we will still hand pick people who we think would make good testers from these forums.
  • We do not have an official release date yet, but will inform you as soon as we do. (We would like to get little bit into Beta 3 first so we can be confident of any date we give you).

I got this as an e mail today,
funny they used sheepman doh!!

Sheepman,

The Star Wars Galaxies (tm): An Empire Divided (tm) team would like to inform
you that you have been selected to participate in the beta-testing process. This
e-mail will contain all the information you'll need to complete your
registration for the beta test, so please be sure to review it carefully. You
have 2 weeks to respond to this email by starting the beta process, or you may
lose your opportunity to participate in this beta.

Before we get to that, however, we just want to take a few minutes to discuss
beta testing in general. Being part of the beta test is a huge responsibility.
Our development team is extremely busy finishing up the game and pulling it all
together, and we'll need all the help we can get tracking down bugs, and testing
various aspects of the game.

Things won't always work the way you expect them to. Servers will be coming up
and down, and you can expect frequent downloads as we patch the game and add new
content. Some of these downloads may be quite large (well over ten megabytes, in
many cases), especially in early phases of beta. Our beta is a bit different
from what you may be used to. We can not promise that our testing servers will
be functional 24 hours per day, 7 days a week due to our intensive focus on
certain testing milestones. During this time we'd like to ask for the patience
of all our testers, and we'll do our best to keep the game up and running as
much as we possibly can.

Please take some time to be sure of your commitment to participating in the Star
Wars Galaxies (tm): An Empire Divided (tm) beta test. If you have concerns that
you may get frustrated with unstable servers, large downloads, or game systems
that are broken, then you should consider joining us in a later stage of beta as
our product gets closer to completion.

It is important to understand that even though you have been accepted into this
beta, you must still meet the minimum system requirements for testing. If you
can not meet these requirements at this time, we will hold a spot for you until
you are able to upgrade your system to meet the requirements. At that time, you
will be required to submit an updated DxDiag.txt file, which will allow us to
confirm that you have met the minimum system requirements. For more information
about DxDiag:

http://starwarsgalaxies.sta...

The information we gather through DxDiag will allow our testing department to
ensure that the game is being tested on a wide range of different hardware and
software configurations, and help track down compatibility problems more easily.

The minimum system requirements to participate in this beta are as follows:

* Pentium III, 1 GHz processor or higher
* Hard drive: 1.5GB free space
* 256 MB RAM or higher
* Windows 98/2000/XP
* ISDN or broadband connection (DSL, cable modem)
* GeForce2 or higher, or ATI Radeon 7000 or higher
* DirectSound compatible sound card

*Please note that your application will not be fully accepted until all the
requirements are met and the Dxdiag is submitted verifying your system
specifications.

If you wish to complete your registration and join the Star Wars Galaxies (tm):
An Empire Divided (tm) beta test, there are several steps you'll need to
complete. First, you'll need to accept the TERMS OF USE, LICENSE, AND
NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT (the "Beta Agreement"), which is very important. As
much as we'd love you to be able to go out and share information about the game
with all your friends, we're not quite at the stage where we want certain
information about the game discussed, and as a beta tester, it's important that
you keep all information about the game to yourself pursuant to the terms of the
Beta Agreement. The Star Wars Galaxies (tm): An Empire Divided (tm) team takes
this Beta Agreement very seriously, and will be monitoring the community closely
during the testing period. There will be severe consequences for anyone caught
breaking the terms of the Beta Agreement.

When both of these steps are complete, a Community Manager will review your
application, and then upgrade your account to beta status. At that point, you'll
receive another e-mail containing instructions on how to order your Star Wars
Galaxies (tm): An Empire Divided (tm) Beta CD, and how to login to the Star Wars
Galaxies (tm): An Empire Divided (tm) Beta Center.

Thanks again for your enthusiastic support, and we're looking forward to seeing
you in the game.

Sincerely,

-The Star Wars Galaxies Team
