Free Lightsabers and Boring Quests for Everyone!

BioWare’s Star Wars: The Old Republic is doing, by most accounts, okay. The game surged to 1.7 million active subscribers after its launch, but recently lost around 400,000—current tallies put the game’s population at around 1.3 million. Still a pretty strong player base, but not very inspiring to EA shareholders or analysts.

In order to keep up interest in the game and entice new players into the fold, BioWare has been offering gamers free weekend passes to check out everything The Old Republic has to offer. The next such weekend begins tomorrow (Thursday), and will last through Sunday. Of course, you’ll only be able to access this free weekend if you haven’t jumped in on BioWare’s previous free events—wouldn’t want you to have too much fun without paying!


Players participating in the free preview will be capped at level 15, though they will be able to engage in PVP combat and participate in low-level flashpoints.


Is a free weekend enough to bring you into SWTOR?

I want to go back and play soooo badly. It was a load of fun when I was there the end of beta/first official launch month!

Does Queen collect royalties for Another One Bites the Dust?

Boring quests?

This MMO is the only one that has me intrigued by the storyline. I'm finding QJ articles way too biased lately.

I'm looking at you Todd!

Yeah I agree, Qj is turning into Fox News, all opinions and no news. Apparently when my 83 year old teacher was my age, newscasters strove to be unbiased and factual.

Let me tell you guys a story no one cares about. For beta, I didn't want to ruin the story of the Inquisitor, so I rolled a Bounty Hunter. I enjoyed the beginning so much, I decided to not spoil that either, so I rolled the last class I would've wanted to play: Smuggler. Enjoyed it. I had to organize the classes in order of how I would play so I could play the last one, which was still Smuggler, but still!

It's like watching a book!

Who the hell do these writers think they are. This is supposed to a news site not some news and a bit of my one sided opinion to boot. A similar thing happened on an article about sales statistics about the Ps vita where a writer added a part in about how much they thought the Vita sucked. Get your shit together QJ this type of article just isn't good enough.
