Let's just AT LEAST hope they'll release a demo BEFORE the game is out! It's playable already now, so maybe a demo in summer could be possible???

Because they can probably beta test themself. The biggest number of player they'll have is 32, and I think somoene mentioned them having 26 people working on it. So they could probably get 6 more people to do any beta testing on the program themself. I don't recall there being Beta testing for KOTOR or JK2. Its not a strategy game like Warcraft 3 or a MMORPG like SWG.

I get the impression that Lucasarts is this big faceless company. I doubt they'd do it, but it wouldn't hurt to try. :)

Well, here's what I was hable to get so far.

I don't anticipate there being a beta test for Jedi Academy, but I will keep
your contact information on file in case such an opportunity arises.

Well I tried guys. I sent an email to Ravensoft and within an hour I got a reply which reads as follows:

I wish I could accommodate your request, but unfortunately I don’t think LucasArts will allow it.

They are thinking about giving the source out early too as well as modeling tools. If I can score that we'd be ready for the transition the day of release.

I'll be sending an email to our friends over at Raven soon introducing us and our efforts. I was going to request some consideration for an advanced peek at JK3 in order to better prepare the JATs and staff for a transition or addition of the game to our teachings. I'll go ahead and ask for a interview while I'm at it. That is of course I have permission from the upper management. :)

You know we are a rather large community here. Maybe if you have some contacts over at JediKnightii.net. And if you look here http://www.ravengames.com/jediknight2/ you'll notice that by scrolling down a bit the guys at Raven Mention The Jedi Academy Mod. Perhaps try using some leverage.

yep, we should do it in the slashdot style. post our questions here - the best ones will be picked or so.

But I bet they might be interested in us, either ;)
