The switcheroo from Pay-to-Play (P2P) to Free-to-Play (F2P) is nothing new in the world of online gaming. It’s an alarming trend that we’ve seen over the years: A subscription-based game falls victim to the “F2P train” and respawns in some purgatorial realm where it’s no longer quite the same way as it used to be (for better or for worse). One such notable MMORPG that met its fate not too long ago was Bioware and Electronic Arts’ (EA) brainchild, Star Wars: The Old Republic (SW:TOR).
EA is nearing an agreement to move the ongoing development and operation of MMORPG Star Wars: The Old Republic from BioWare to third-party studio Broadsword Online Games, IGN has learned. The move is intended to allow BioWare to focus on Mass Effect and Dragon Age.
A new update for Star Wars: The Old Republic is coming out on PC and the patch notes provide us with an in-depth look at all the new changes.
I loved this game and have played since launch but don't let this article fool you, this game is a step above life support. While they are still technically updating the game, the updates are few and far between and there is a significant lack of quality control, so many little bugs that have been present for years.
SWTOR players, get ready for a new month of exciting in-game events! Here's what's coming up in January 2023.
