Star Wars: The Old Republic is the new MMO on the block, and it’s been causing quite a scare with current champion, World of Warcraft. Activision/Blizzard is so scared of this new competition that they have begun offering bonus incentives to new and returning players. Incentives like: Instantly start at level cap, and free epic mounts. They even offer new players the opportunity to start a new character and play all they way up to level 20 entirely for free. Well BioWare and EA aren’t going to sit this battle out. While they aren’t offering instant jumps to level cap, or cool speeders, EA and BioWare are allowing anyone without a previously active account to log in and play Star Wars: The Old Republic for free this weekend!
You read that right! This weekend, starting Thursday, March 15th, at 12:01am CT you can log in and play Star Wars: The Old Republic for free.
