Star Wars: The Old Republic @ The Hut $13.37 + Shipping

50

For those who say it'll become free to play, yes it will be, but those who own the game will get extra goodies that the free to play players will not. This occurred for games such as DC Universe and so on.

Plot:
The story takes place in the Star Wars fictional universe shortly after the establishment of a tenuous peace between the re-emergent Sith Empire and the Galactic Republic, 300 years after the events of the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic games, and more than 3,500 years before the events in the Star Wars films. The Jedi are held responsible for the success of the Sith during the devastating 28-year-long Great Galactic War (which led to the Treaty of Coruscant prior to the "cold war"), and thus choose to relocate from Coruscant to Tython, where the Jedi Order had initially been founded, to seek guidance from the Force. The Sith control Korriban, where they have re-established a Sith Academy. The game begins 10 years later as new conflicts arise.

A collaborative effort between BioWare, LucasArts, EA Games and Dark Horse Comics has resulted in webcomics entitled Star Wars: The Old Republic – Threat of Peace and Star Wars: The Old Republic – Blood of the Empire, the purpose of which is to establish the backstory as the game opens.

BioWare stated, prior to release, that the game would have a significant focus on the storyline. Each of the eight classes has a three act storyline that progresses as the character levels up.

    Yes but the boxed version of the game provides some stuff 'wot u don't get' with the free free version!

  • +2

    Won't it be the subscription people who get the exclusive stuff? That's the way Turbine does it. I.e not the people buying the game but the people paying a monthly fee for "VIP" access

    Fictional Star Wars universe?

    WTF do you mean fictional?

    My parents have some explaining to do, I've wasted half my life trying to open the fridge door from my couch.

    "LEET" amount of dollars.

    Well by purchasing this you avoid the 30GB download size

    still, kinda expensive for just that

    • Worth it for those of us with 25GB monthly download quota.
