The first title that Why You Should Play (WYSP) will be covering is Star Wars: The Old Republic (SWTOR). Now a failed MMO turned Free-to-Play (F2P), SWTOR launched with a great many of promises and initially promised great success. Having peaked at around 2 million active subscribers according to EA back in February 2012, this number dropped sharply down to less than 1 million by July 2012 after most users’ free trials had run out. At this point EA announced they would be adding a F2P option.
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.
