Damn, I got my hopes up and checked my email and TSW account. No dice. I own the game but haven't played it in like 2 years so I guess I'm SOL.
Same here bro. It would of been kool if they sent an email yesterday letting us know. I downloaded the game today and logged in in hopes i would get the beta invite but nothing
They're likely sending them in waves, like most betas do when they add a ton of new people to their testing.
My SWTOR referral link for those wanting to give the game a try. (Newbies get a welcome package while returning players get a few account upgrades to help with their preferred status.)
Still early, they will probably let everyone in for open beta anyways...

Betas will likely be hype drivers so there will be good chances to get access to try it out.
Not to mention it's really close to launch, so it wouldn't really matter who got in at this point. I wouldn't be surprised if in the next few days they'll just let in everyone who signed up for the beta.
It's too bad they added the requirement of logging on in the past 30 days. I figured since my account was a GM they would have sent one to me. Oh, well. I'm busy enough with ESO and other games to really care. I'll just wait until 23 June when it's released.

Remember, I live in a world where juggalos and yugioh players are real things.
I guess for me leaving the game must have coincided with getting a new Visa because it shows a payment pending for sub renewal from 2013. I guess that makes me someone in "bad standing" lol.
Oh well. I probably wouldn't have spent much more than a few hours in it to check out the changes anyway.

Look at the bright side, you'll be delaying the inevitable "crushing disappointment" the others will experience this weekend for another few weeks.
Heck, you might even be able to avoid it entirely.

You had to have logged into your account within the last month. I logged in late last night, and got the email today.
Same - logged in yesterday and got the email at 1am today.
Happily downloading at work now hoping the boss won't notice the increase in bandwith usage
Where I work you would not have been able to log in. Disadvantage of working at a major financial institution, brutally intrusive monitoring of employees, and they are very good at it.

Ah yes that must be stressy. I work in a rehab center and got the 24h shift. No shrinks here over the weekend so it's just me and the patients.
I play for 30 min, its was so bad, I relog, then an hours later, i want give it a try, couldnt play more then 10 min, the combat is slow, everything is slow.....
I like the story/quests. Havent tried dungeons or groupcontent. But im not sure if I want that, with only a skillbar with 5 active abilities. But gonna try it.
170610 found the secret world (SW) patcher on hd, selected 'minimal' patch; 8.26GB @ 300KB/s (on a 37MB/s connection) so it will be a few hours befor i even see how large this beta update is. Or does one have to d/l a new/different patcher-client for the "SW Legends" beta? and have to create a new funcom account/name?
As a life-time subscriber that hasn't been playing as of late or visiting the site, I'm a fair bit annoyed that I didn't get an email regarding the SWL beta so I could log in during the magical time of counting. Being so valued by them suggests I should value them likewise.

You really are of little value, they are looking for paying customers for the new game.

Yeah, we definitely need more elves and dragons.....
I will wait until release. This re-release of a game, that has already been out for years, is something I could wait a few more weeks for.
