Blue Milk & Cereal: Do You Think The NDA Will Be Dropped Next Weekend?
No day would be complete without the breakfast of Jedi: Blue Milk & Cereal. Every morning, the team at Ask A Jedi will get Force-induced thoughts coursing through your head with delicious issues from around the galaxy! Join in the discussion below to make your voice heard!
We’re in the home stretch, folks. The launch of Star Wars: The Old Republic is imminent (relatively speaking, of course!)
As part of the race to the finish line, most developers hold large open tests to get as many people as possible to stress their systems and BioWare is no different. Next weekend will be the closest thing to an open beta you can have. Everyone that has signed up on SWTOR.com before November 11th will get invited (that’s over 2 million people!) and if for some reason you didn’t, you can get a free weekend key from almost any mainstream gaming site around the net.
Currently, BioWare is still keeping the NDA in place, which restricts what players who have played the game can say in public forums. But with so many players being invited next weekend, is there even a point to it anymore?
Today’s question is simple: Will BioWare drop the NDA on or before next weekend’s big beta test? Let us know!

I am going to go out on a limb and say that the NDA get’s dropped today!
This is my feeling as well.
I think it will drop soon thereafter. Very little reason to keep it in effect afterwards
I think the NDA will dropped at the end of the testing weekend, and the entire test program will be shut down at that time.
Since the beta weekend is basically an open beta considering how many keys there are, they will definitely drop the NDA during the beta weekend. I doubt they will drop before because they don’t want complaints from previous builds to affect people’s judgement.
That’s pretty much my view. This is essentially an open beta weekend, there is no way BW will be able to cull the mass amount of leaks that will hit the forums, Youtube, Twitch, ect. over that weekend. Best to drop the NDA [or part of] and let people finally learn a lot about the game for the next month.
I agree. Silly to let everyone play in the Open Beta weekend and then expect them to NOT talk about it.
This is exactly how I feel, Pashtun.
In all likeliness, nobody who starts the upcoming weeekend with new toons is going to make it any further than 30 (A large majority probably won’t even make 15), unless they let us use pre-mades. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if they dropped NDA for the first 30 levels or so.
The NDA was dropped today.
I know it. We got this poll in the nick of time :) Grats to everyone who answered correctly!
Lols. I said no only to be proven a pessimist. Lol. I feel kinda silly. I think it’s good as I’ve been living on alterswtor and betacake for the last few months. It only made me more keen and not less.
