Is there a closed beta for Star Wars: The Old Republic? If the general community discussion is to be believed, yes.
A thread on the official SWTOR forums began this morning, claiming that players have received invitations for a June 25 - 27 closed beta. A post added shortly afterward made further clarification that only 100-200 invitations are going out. Within seven hours the thread reached nearly 200 pages.
So is it for real? On one hand, we don't have a clear confirmation of the fact. On the other hand, as our friends at Darth Hater pointed out, the thread was not locked, something that is usually SOP in these cases. In addition, Sean Dahlberg certainly isn't denying it.
We'll keep our eyes open for any further information!

[Update: Unless our commenters are very, very good with Photoshop, this has been pretty much confirmed. Check your e-mails everyone!]

Its possible they picked him because he WASN'T an avid forum poster or WASN'T a computer god that would tell them how to do their job. They just want average, random players so they can get a more realistic feel instead of one populated by professionals.
Just sayin'.
Or its completely random, in which case, they'd still get what they want and all that is bunk...

Can just begin by saying congratulations hypnotoad. You are one hell of a lucky bastard. Once I read this I instantly went to check both my mails hoping I had got an invite (although it was extremely unlikely), but nopes, nothing at all. I would've been happy beyond this world if I'd gotten one, but then again that's not very realistic.

I'm seriously considering changing my nickname to hypnotoadwannabe. The whole world is looking at you hypnotoad, consider this while playing and own those rebel scum in our name.

I can confirm that I was in a closed limited beta. My time is up now. This is for SWTOR, so it is not fake it is real.
