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).
Since we just switched to Beta 3, I’m a little swamped today so I’ll leave you with a quick glimpse of the most recent patch notes.
quote:Added a /find command, type it, choose what you what to find, and an active waypoint is made to the nearest type of that structure.
Hooked up all the shadow options in the options screen - now you can do no shadows, simple shadows, or volumetric shadows. On volumetric, you can choose how far out around you things shadow.
Further significant improvements to client frame rate, especially on Naboo.
Added popup help to the planetary map, skill window, stat migration
Fixed arrival point for the Theed Hangar so it's now in front of a door instead of behind a wall.
Fixed some bugs with guilds: sponsoring someone when there is no guild leader, made guild wars require consent from both sides before attacking is allowed, better messages for accepting and declining sponsored guild members.
Added some new animations for healing
If you live long enough to hear a creature breathe, breathing noises should be set up on creatures.
Fixed some typos in the newbie tutorial conversations.
Wookiees now have 25 fur patterns instead of 8
Wookiee roar should work now (/innate command)
/afk - fix ping-pong effect when 2 people are AFK and one messages the other to tell them they're back, and then that gets the other guy saying that they are still afk, then you say you're afk back to him, and then he says . . .you get the picture.
Happy Beta 3 Day!

5,000 invites out by Friday, 50k total in Beta by early May.
And I'd tell about the game, but the NDA is still in place. :)
