Thats a good question. I thought SOE would have waited to officially announce it until Friday or something, or at least until after all the beta spots have been given away. There are quite a few sites out there still handing out spots, wonder what most people think about getting into the beta of a game on the verge of release. I dont think they'll wipe beta characters til a few days before release though, maybe a week. We'll see I guess.
