This is 1.0b11 AKA "Release candidate 1" according to the site. This was going to probably be released in a few months, but it's done now, so enjoy.
There's no reason why we should wait until The Old Republic is out.
i like to call it a "Public Beta"
This is the most resent version of the game which according to the original plan was a "Release Candidate" so i have taken it upon myself to release the candidate.
