Try Star Wars: The Old Republic for Free this Weekend
If you’ve still not tried Bioware’s MMO Star Wars: The Old Republic you may want to head online this weekend, as the game will be free to play for all newcomers.
The Old Republic has struggled to maintain its strong initial numbers, no doubt Bioware are hoping this weekend will encourage new players to sign up and keep playing while Blizzard’s Diablo III experiences some issues.
The offer is only open to new accounts, if you have taken part in a previous free weekend, you won’t be able to do so again.
The details are as follows:
- No credit card is required to take part in the Weekend Pass Free Trial.
- You can play for up to four full days free.
- Characters you create during the trial will be saved to your account, so allowing you to continue on your journeys once you’ve purchased the game and redeemed the Game Product Registration Code at the Code Redemption Center.
- You’ll be able to experience the first fifteen (15) levels of the game, allowing you to explore the Origin Worlds for each character class, as well as possibly seeing your faction’s Capital World.
- You will also be able to join other players take part in Player-vs-Player Warzones, or group with friends to take on one of the numerous Flashpoints in the game.
