This picture impressed me:  Did they say how such zones compare to real world locations, or perhaps other MMOs? |

Thats just a solid representation comparing maps in game to other maps. The key reference point is the small map as that area has had the most (all of the?) public exposure.
I'll be writing up my exposure of Ilum which is an open world pvp lake. It's essentially Hoth Battle + Alterac Valley and it's about 4 times the size of AV.

Are the links in the email through some marketing firm? Dynect.net?
I can't tell if I got an invite or the world's worst attempt at phishing.
Phishing I think. If you want to check, go to www.swtor.com/testing or tester. Where ever the beta app is. |
Hahahaha! I'm really good at this!

This. The email is just a notification. There's no special script link that you have to follow in order to 'activate' your beta. If BW activates you, swtor.com/testing will tell you. I've been refreshing that page everyday for the last couple months, and I struck gold this morning. |

Anyone planning on playing on a PVP server or anyone looking to try and start something on a PVP server?
Yeah, my guild's set up for Sith East Coast PvP. |

I keep thinking this is some sort of prank where you keep getting me to check my status to see that I'm not in. Can we just stop? We're not in. WE'RE NOT IN!  |

I checked that tester link and saw nothing that indicated if I was in or not.
It is probably because I was honest about my country of origin and since Australia isn't getting SWOR at launch, they don't need to include people like me.
Which is fine, because I've got a stack of other games to finish.

Can Gingrinch not go one debate without calling for Bernanke to be fired?
Maybe he should use the force. |

Uh, I just signed up for SWTOR.com like 2, maybe 3 days ago. I'm invited to the weekend beta.  |

The stupid Old Republic website finally stopped giving me the 'your email address is already in use' error so I finally was able to make an account. Too late for beta though.  And since Ingmar is in the beta now and all preoccupied, I assume it'll be weeks before he lets me in the guild. |

You can always check: http://www.swtor.com/tester To see if you are in or not. The Emails can lag behind quite a bit as they funnel them out. I still haven't gotten an email but I went to check this link and I'm in. I can't decide if I'm deliriously excited or if I need to go murder some email server admins. |

The guild precreation stuff is not for beta, it is for live.
Also odds are if you got into the beta just this week it is just for the weekend stress test that runs from 5 central Friday to midnight central Sunday - so I wouldn't particularly expect anyone to go setting a guild up (if you even can yet.)

Also anyone from outside North America is shit out of luck for this weekend as there's no chance of us being invited. They've said they'll be inviting people from the EU for the next round of normal testing (I'm guessing that people outside the launch zones are still screwed though)

Because I seem to have several email addresses in use across the SWTOR site, Bioware site and Origin and I'd like to bring them all into line. Not that it's letting me of course! |

Ingmar covered it, but if you want to sign up for the pre-release guild, click the link in my sig. What that gets you is a pop-up when you first log into the retail client asking you if you want to join BC in-game. |

Yep, next EU wave should be quite large (and for general testing too!), hopefully I'll finally manage to get in too, instead of following the oh-so-seekret couple beta websites out there :P |

He'll have already raided the guild bank and fled with his ill begotten goods by then. |

Here is a stat I think you guys might be interested in.
I was told a few days ago that the number of people they are inviting rivals the number of people that most MMOs launch with.
I have no idea by what context of metrics that is being described as, but there you have it.
