http://www.g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/post/726499/star-wars-the-old-republic-will-be-free-to-play-this-fall/BioWare has announced their MMO, Star War: The Old Republic, will be free-to-play beginning this fall. The free-to-play feature will give gamers access to the first 50 levels and all eight playable and character classes. There will be some limitations with the free-to-play model. Gamers who are playing the free-to-play SWTOR model will be able to purchase items they lack with Cartel Coins. A subscription option will still be available for those who want to access higher-level content and unlimited game access. "Players want flexibility and choice. The subscription-only model presented a major barrier for a lot of people who wanted to become part of The Old Republic™ universe," said Matthew Bromberg, GM of BioWare Austin. SWTOR will go one sale this August for about $15, including a one-month free trial. BioWare has reported a steady decline of subscriptions for SWTOR since its release in late 2011. Many have speculated the MMO would eventually become a free-to-play game. Are you surprised by their announcement?

Seriously? $15? I just bought it for 40... if they could have told us before that'd be great, but nooooooooo. But up to level 50 doesn't still seem that much. I think I will see how I feel once my game time runs out.

Seriously? I just canceled my sub because I was bored of the game, and now they make it free to play. Meanwhile, I spent like $60 on the game itself and lord knows how much on the subscription fee...
Screw them, I'm refusing to play on principle at this point.

It's still too much for me to deal with time-wise. I've got an extremely addictive personality, so I steer clear from MMOs entirely.

Aw crap, if Kham ends up playing I'll probably have to come back... Oh well. BTW we should probably decide on a server so that we can all transfer our toons there (or create new ones). We can actually have a single awesome forum server! |
