Now about the forums my guess is it's being hammered but they could handle the traffic. Still they intentionally shut down the forums while investigating and preparing an appropriate answer.
I received them, but I know that I never signed up for the beta. I must have joined the SWTOR forum at some point in the distant past and ended up on the mailing list.
Ha! Maybe we were supposed to get the invite emails and sent us the wrong ones....One can hope
Ya im thinking that may be the deal.you guys were going to be the next round of betas,and someone sent wrong email.
I got the e mails too. But no, I seriously doubt we were supposed to get Beta invites. I think they accidentally sent these to the people NOT in beta instead of the people IN beta.
The did the opposite of what I think they meant to do. Since people in beta didnt seem to get the e-mail, it was obviously meant for them. Not us.
Nah, can't be. Simply too many people were invited for that to be plausible. Also, does not explain why some people who were NOT signed up for Beta got the same email. Of course, before the site dropped people who WERE signed up for Beta didn't get the email. Clearly something is different amongst us but the sheer size makes it seem highly unlikely it was a round of beta invites.

Yeah, but it seems like EVERYBODY on their mailing list got that email. So many people got it, it crashed their website. I doubt if they were expecting that much traffic to their website at once.

I bet the pre-orders spike tonight. Even if 1:100 e-mail recipients goes "duh, I better buy it", that's a bunch of people.

Nah, after this...the amount of rage people will have...I really doubt it. This game is an emotional topic for many people. This will trickle on through a week or so...as people check their emails.

This is hilarious. Can't wait to see the official explanation on the site...
"Due to an error in the invitation database"
Inviting people to beta must be harder than getting artificial gravity to work. Or maybe they just have super-morons working in that part of the building.

Lol! I think they made a huge mistake and accidentally sent email out to all those signed up for beta testing.
The IP for the domain that the email comes from is not registered to Bioware.
Nevermind, apparently Bioware uses Cheetah mail as an email service provider.
Got the same thing, looks like fishing spam to me as the forum link is http://email.swtor.com/[randomletters_and_numbers]/forumtxt

Otherwise it would be madness on the forums.

Yep, this is an official slip-up. Heck, I even got them. Leaving this thread to be the open one for discussion on the subject.
