Well for those of you who are Star Wars fans but not subscription base MMOs Bioware has announce that The Old Republic will be going f2p as early as this fall.

This is great for me since generally I dont like f2p MMOs but Old Republic just felt too much like a single player game trying to be an MMO. I know alot of people will be happy to hear this news.

I would totally play this if they'd make a Mac client. :(

I am laughing heartily at the people who said "it won't go F2P for a long time".

They don't think it be like it is, but it do.

Might check it out since I'm getting a new laptop later this month, finally getting rid of this horrible four year old Dell/Vista combo :)

I am laughing at all the people that said it was going to kill World of Warcraft.

Not really practical for someone working in iOS development.

Well it looks like ToR will go F2P on November 15th.

So for you of those who wanted to try it but didnt want to pay 15 dollars a month now would be the time to check it out. IMO ti was a good game to fight that Star Wars itch but not worth the 15 bucks. Kinda glad that this went F2P
