Star Wars Galaxies Developer Diary Continued

The developer diary on Sony's official Star Wars Galaxies website continues, with senior producer Gary Gattis talking about last weekend's events. It looks like he's providing some details about this week as well, so I'm not sure when it might conclude. Here's a snip from yesterday's addition:
We extend the Beta until 3 pm CST in order to get enough load to properly test the CTD fixes. This marks the end of the Beta, and I would like to take a moment to express our extreme appreciation to the fine players who broke this thing repeatedly for us :-) Beta is a pretty crazy time, where things fluctuate wildly from stable to painful, and everywhere in-between. There have been a TON of people playing, with bold alliances made and terrible foes conquered. It really has been a lot of fun... we have all been playing along-side the players daily, so we have been living through the joy and the pain. We think we have a great flight model and AI system for launch. We'll let it burn in for a bit, and continue to tweak them until they are perfect. Thank you folks so much for all the feedback (especially the constructive, non-ranty kind). It really did prove invaluable!
