So, a friend of mine shared this video with me (jump to 1:38 for TOR news):



Here's the official word on it:

So, it seems there won't be anymore Beta weekends until at least October. Hopefully this doesn't push the game release date back. I really hope it's out before the end of November.

It doesn't really surprise me. The amount of people they were letting in to beta test was pretty dang large, and I am sure most of those people played the hell out of the game. I am just wondering if that includes guild beta testing as well.

Everything I've been reading from testers is that they haven't seriously started that phase yet. Their pool of testers seems like it is still is still pretty low, at least that's the impression I've been getting from the commentary.

It sounds like they knew they had another major build in the pipe and they rethought their plans for adding a bunch of new testers because they [testers] would be dealing with some significant problems. Rather than lose face and a potential large wave of negative press so close to the holidays they pushed the date a bit.

As frustrating as it is, I'm glad they pushed to get the fixes in. Especially seeing as trooper grav round is not working as intended.

Possibility of beta being done: Near 0 - they've confirmed there is a next phase.

Don't worry beta isn't over I know wouldn't end it this soon

they have just launched the new beta build today. I can link patch notes if need be. Weekend beta will probably be halted for a few more weeks by my guess.
