Free to Play Trial Weekend
BioWare released the MMORPG Star Wars: The Old Republic on December 20th, 2011. Since then, they have sold well over 2 million copies. This weekend, Star Wars: The Old Republic will be free to play! From March 15th through March 19th, gamers can check out all 8 character classes and explore their origin world. In this trial version, players will have a few restrictions, such as the inability to use the Galactic Trade Network, or trade chat, along with several other types of chat.
They will, however, be able to join any server, and chat locally, in group chat, guild chat, and will be able to reply to whispers and receive in-game mail. This will allow the player to find friends online who play the game, and to join them in PvP, PVE (Player versus Environment), and Role Playing game modes. Rank up to level 15 can be achieved, after which point, a message will notify the trial user that XP will not continue further in the trial.

The best part is, when the trial ends, your character will not be deleted outright. If you want to play the game in the near future, you can log back in where you left off, after signing up. BioWare has stated that they reserve the right to delete inactive player characters, but has no plan to do so. Find out more details at www.swtor.com/weekendpass. You will need to create an account at www.StarWarsTheOldRepublic.com to get your trial verification code. Only players who have never had an active game account are eligible.
