[SWTOR introducing a free to play option this fall]

BioWare?, a Label of Electronic Arts (NASDAQ: EA), announced today that it will be expanding the story-driven, massively multiplayer online game Star Wars?: The Old Republic? by adding a new Free-to-Play option this fall.

oh cool, thanks!

[Friend Invites]

I haven't received any friend invite e-mails, were they all sent out already or are they being sent out in waves?

[New Cooldown Display Comparison - What's your preference.]

Great video!

[THIS gets on my nerves]

The music cuts out for me as well on Alderaan, I wish it was playing more often there.

[Casual = Happy and Re-Subscribing; Hardcore = Rage Quit]

I'm a casual player, I only get to play a 1-2 hours during the week, and about 4 hours on the weekend.

Loving the leveling in the game so far, with the little amount of time I have to play the game, it's a lot more enjoyable than other MMOs I have played. Luckily, I am on a High populated service, so I have had no issues finding groups to do heroics or flashpoints.

 

Great game so far, I am really looking forward to what Bioware will roll out in the future!

[Have the shards been removed yet?]

The shards are good, but the caps need to be adjusted. On Tattoine, you might see 60 people in an instance (not including the opposite faction), then suddenly a new shard is kicked off for new players entering the zone.

The problem is that once people leave from Shard 1 (log off, travel ...), you end up with 30 people in Shard 1, and 30 people in Shard 2.

[LF High-Full Pop PvP Server that has low-mid Republic pop]

Wound in the force is always Heavy, and has less than 10 mins queues sometimes. Not sure about the rep to emp ration though.

[Tatooine - 30 players in one instance / is this a MMO?]

Instancing parameters needs to be adjusted, not removed

 

That is all

 

Agreed

[Too much instancing, empty lonely world..]

I'm level 17, and while running around the Coruscant areas, I run into a lot of people. What level are you guys?
