Release dates I have found so far

Gamespot.com - 1/1/04

This tells me that they feel it will be released in late 2003. We know that the beta starts in 2003, but not sure which month. MMORPGs beta's are more complex than simple Diablo and RTS type games so we can expect around 4 to 5 months for beta. So I am assuming that the beta might start in late spring or early summer.

Who is going to try to get in the beta besides me?

Hopefully I'll have BB by then, depending on how SWG goes I might try and apply for beta, it depends how long I've been playing SW for. However, I do think it would be good for us to get "a foot in the door" and sample the game first. If it is summertime then I may well quit SWG as use my experiences there to hopefully command a nice spot testing with you all.

Yup, I'll sign up for beta. Hopefully I'll have a new puter by then as well.

I wanna do beta but with D2exp it was only US.... So as it is the same this time I'm already screwed. Got any info about this? Any1?

No beta information has been released yet. Not until 2003.
