Bioware has announced that players looking for some free game time in Star Wars: The Old Republic will want to check into the game from Thursday, March 22nd at 12:01AM CDT / 5:01AM GMT and ends on Monday, March 26th at 2:00AM CDT / 7:00AM GMT. According to the team, the response to the first weekend pass event was an overwhelming success. Georg Zoeller has also penned a new blog post detailing the upcoming Crew Skill alterations that will be unleashed when v1.2 goes live in April. Currently, 1.2 is available for testing on the public test server. Read more at the links posted above.

Squeezing another one in before the financial year end. Good marketing to get the figures up and keep some suits employed.

The revision blog had some exciting stuff. I'm glad I held onto Artifice as a Crew Skill. I almost scrapped it for Biochem. |

I believe that they are trying to herd off people from the Tera beta that starts this weekend. |

lmfao, they're trying so hard. This game should've been F2P from the beginning.

First weekend an overwhelming success? LOL! There was ZERO change in population on the two servers I play on! ZERO! The server status page didn't show much difference compared to regular days either. I think pretty much everyone who wanted to try out this game, already has. Hence, the zero difference in population that free weekend. |

lol 1.7 million subs and a few who probably bought teh game after the first weekend pass. WoW has even had free weekends before. I dont play SWTOR, but mindlessly hating on something is uncalled for. SWTOR may fail or it may become the next big thing. You do not know. Its not even a year old yet and WoW didnt even start to reach 1 million players until after the first year. What are you gonna do when you realise GW2 isnt as innovating as you think and you end up doing arena pvp matches over and over again... not really for fun, but because their simply isnt anything else to do like there was in GW1? Yuo do not know how well GW2 is gonna do and neither do I. Stop down grading games to make yourself feel better about your current game comming out. |

Originally posted by JeroKane I imagine the triallists went for the heavy servers so if you were light or standard you would miss them. xFire showed a 10% increase for the trial weekend but then apparently that has absolutely no relevance to population trends.

If SWTOR wasn't hurting for subscribers, BW wouldn't be pushing out so many free trials. I can only hope that Bethesda learns from Bioware's mistakes when they work on their own mmo for the first time. |

Free or subscription, I wont return to this single player game that pretends it's something else. I prefer my single player games to be lag free and with better graphics! |

Sadly have to say its boring cause its so unchallenging so there is no point to try it out again. |

I love the game. Is sad to see only hate on this site but after years you get used to mmorpg.com users complains and hate for every new game... "you are like the world revenge on sarcasm, you know that?" One of those great lines from The Secret World |

Originally posted by Corthala It's not hate. Just when you lift the veil or remove the biggest selling point which is Star Wars from it, you can clearly see that it is a very poorly done SPG with coop functions. First and foremost i love SW, and Bioware or Lucas Arts or both just destroyed a little bit more of the IP. The NGE now this bland and static game to represent one of the biggest, in depth and diverse IP's on the planet. Just pathetic. |

Don't worry guys a month after Guild Wars 2 is out and theres NOTHING to do but the same PVP matches OVER AND OVER AND OVER the same people will bash that game. To make it worse theres no incentive to do anything in the game since gear means almost nothing. Yes getting gear is an incentive improving your toon is an incentive.
My OPINION is GW2 will be something people buy and play once in awhile, but will still play other MMOs. |
