Give it to folks who might be interested, but aren't going to pay for the entire game to 'try' it. Here's hoping that the weekend is interesting.

It's rumored that this will be the last (open) beta weekend... the sooner you accept the beta invite the sooner you can login this weekend. They are doing three mini waves - Friday, Saturday and Sunday mornings to emulate the launch traffic apparently.
They are convinced that they will be "selling out" of SWTOR on the release. They will use EA's Origin to grant new digital copies, as they determine their hardware can handle the traffic... but basically they are saying there not going to over subscribe and affect performance so... if you wont be able to buy the game after launch you definitely won't get to do a free trial... not for a while anyway... This beta could be your last chance to try it before launch. Plus the game made NY-Times top ten X-mas gift list.
