UPDATE 10/21: As of 9am pacific, the NDA is still in tact. Expect it to remain for atleast a few more hours.
JustG's diary says that the NDA will be lifted 'Tonight'. Please allow me to clarify something for all the testers (and non-testers for that matter).
Tonight is not defined by a time, it is not defined by the turn of a new day (i.e. midnight), it is not defined as when you think tonight is.
Tonight is defined by the posting of a dev officially declaring that the NDA has been lifted. Tonight could be as early as 20 minutes from now, or as late as 10am tommorow.
At the time of this posting THE NDA IS STILL IN EFFECT and you must still respect it, even with the knowledge it will be lifted in a matter of minutes, or hours.
To pre-emptively answer everyone's "When will the NDA lift/Is it lifted yet" - Watch DevTracker, when an official announcement is made, then talk your asses off... but keep it on the beta boards until then.
EDIT: Thanks everyone for pulling me out of the clutches of the 1 star bandits, just trying to keep people from dealing with any trouble that may come from breaking the NDA early. They'll 1 star anything

They shouldn't just lift the NDA. They should just open up the Beta forums to everyone...It's like the biggest Game Guides board in the history of SWG in there.

Well, i thought about that, then i went and looked through the beta forums again. I highly doubt they will open it up, there's a HUGE amount of information, most of which is redundant or no longer applies because of changes that have gone through. Everything that does apply would only be confusing to most people, since it's based on changes that have gone through
You wouldn't want to be joining the beta forums blindly right now, the topics are focused all over the place

Nope expect it to be locked and new production forums added.
Too much dirty work to put in public laundry.. .that's part of beta.

basically this
(had it cut and in my notepad)
Thunderheart brings up a few hot issues from the community. He and I strategize about what needs to be addressed immediately and what we need to do in the future. We are dropping the NDA tonight, and are anticipating a ton of buzz generation. Garva and Virrago are champs, and we are going to be leaning very heavily on them to help us over the next few days.
