Star Wars: The Old Republic Free Trial Now Live

If you’ve always fancied a go at the Star Wars MMO but been put off by the unfortunate fact that it costs money, today your woes are over. A free trial for players who are not already embroiled in BioWare’s Star Wars universe has just launched.

If you nip over to the website, you’ll be able to sign up and download the game (it’s a large download…) and then play it all the way up to level 15. Everything is unlocked so you’re getting the full experience, including all eight player classes for as long as you want – there’s no time limitation.

Once you hit level 15, you’ll have the option of feeding your credit card details into the game and playing on or switching off and waiting in the hope of a full Free to Play announcement.

  1. Free? I can’t complain about that .. i.e this comment will not be the deride they’re looking for .. :D *runs away cackling madly*

  2. Its times like this I wish I had a PC, but saying that I reckon this game would completely steal my life lol.

    • That’s what I’m worried about. If I start, I probably wont be able to stop.

  3. How many hours does one reckon is in 15 levels of play?

    • About 4-5 hours I would say. The initial planet levels u to 10 in a linear fashion, but once I got to corascant (can’t spell it) I for one got a little lost and took me a while to get my bearings. It’s tedious running everywhere like vanilla wow

      • Thanks. Ive been downloading for 20 hours now and its only a third of the way done so I think I’ll stop, it doesn’t seem worth it.
