Star Wars™: The Old Republic Goes Free to Play This Fall!

Going to the official website of the game I saw the information that we had been waiting for so long. So here’s what they have to say: “I want to reach out today to share my thoughts on our recent announcement to expand our games to offer a Free-To-Play option this fall. I’d like to give you some insight into why we made this decision, how it benefits you, and how enthusiastic our team is about this new direction.

Since launch, our team has spent a lot of time trying to find new ways to be able to bring the Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ experience to as many potential players as possible. We quickly realized that our subscription-only model was a major obstacle for many people who wanted to become part of the Old Republic universe. In fact, many players who left the game said that they would happily return if they could play without paying a monthly fee.

We believe that flexibility and choice in playing our game is very important for all current and future players. For this reason, we have begun research into expanding the game to include a free, replayable option.

Starting this fall, there will be two ways to enjoy the game. Firstly, you can continue as a subscriber, which gives you unlimited access to all game features and future game updates at no additional cost. Secondly, you have the option to play for free up to level 50, with game restrictions that limit play options and access to certain game content. Our goal is to ensure that our current players continue to receive the AAA content they are accustomed to enjoying and new rewards. In this regard, I can proudly say that we have many great new objects on their way, and that it will come more often. We have big pipelines in development including: a new operation, Natasha From Beyond, a new series of heroic missions on the planet Belsavis, a set of level 50 space combat missions for those looking for the ultimate challenge mode, the introduction of new dangerous Companions to accompany you, and for our PvP fans, a new Warzone, Ancient Beacon!

Starting today, you’ll earn bonuses through our new rewards program, making your current subscription more valuable than ever. Current and fallen subscribers earn 150 coins for every Cartel paid month until today (July 31, 2012), and then 200 Cartel points from August 1 until the free, replayable launch option. For those who purchased the Collector’s Edition, we have an additional bonus reward of 1000 Cartel Coins for you. With Cartel Coins you can purchase essentials, boosts, visually unique gear, collectibles, and more. The new Cartel Market gives you the opportunity to add to your gaming experience with elements that suit your playstyle and allows you to customize your character.

Our team is very https://bettabetscasino.co.uk/ excited about this new plan. We’re working hard and having a lot of fun preparing new content and items for the game. We believe this is the right direction for our game – more choice, more options and more options to customize the game experience to suit your play style. We want to be able to keep our fans excited, engaged and having fun every time you come in. We look forward to your thoughts, suggestions and feedback.

Thank you for your support over the past seven months. We have the best fans in the business!

May the Force be with you.
