One has to keep in mind that BioWare hasn't said the word Beta at all, that's been all the fans saying it. One of their forum posters even confirmed it's not a beta. I don't have the exact link(saw it on a blog), but Sean Dahlberg said:
"I would like to point out that we are doing Game Testing sign-ups; we have not done any announcements about “beta” testing. As specified in the original article, the Game testing for Star Wars: The Old Republic will be rolled out in several phases over an extended period of time. These test phases will begin with smaller, tightly focused test groups, and later tests will expand."
But that's why you have TOR listed under Alpha, right?

Damn glad to see Love included.
For an unpolished Alpha, Love is shaping up to be lovely. This game has potential. This is the only game out there even close to scratching the surface of next generation.
