From torwars.com:

We knew that interest in Star Wars: The Old Republic was high and we now have a massive stat to fuel that fire. As previously reported by one of our fledgling new writers, Matt Turkus, this past Thanksgiving Weekend Beta Test saw an estimated 725,000 unique people playing an average of 12 hours.

Well we now have word from the good folks over at PC Gamer that the Thanksgiving Beta Weekend pulling in a mind bending nine million hours of testing! That is a massive amount considering how crazy it was when a previous Beta Weekend pulled in one million testing hours.

Here is the official line from PC Gamer:

“Bioware recently threw open the gates of The Old Republic to anyone who wanted to try it out. The stress test initially put tremendous strain on the servers, but testers still managed to put in 12 hours of play each on average across the weekend. 725,000 testers logged in over Thanksgiving weekend, clocking up more than nine million hours between them.
The stats were announced by Bioware at the annual Global Media and Communications Conference, attended by Gamespot. There EA chief financial officer Eric Brown said that two million volunteers had signed up to test TOR for the open beta period. Yesterday Bioware shut down the ongoing beta as well to prepare for launch on December 20.”
