Invite Your Friends To Play The Old Republic Free For Seven Days

The Old Republic has been out for a little while now, and while sales have been great thus far, there are still plenty of people waiting to buy it. I can’t say I blame them, mostly because it takes a little while for an MMO to really get going. However, if you’ve been trying unsuccessfully to convince your friends to play, now you might have a chance to get them hooked.

EA has announced the Friends Trial Program, which starts today. Existing players can invite up to three people to download the game and play for seven days, free of charge. They will have access to all eight classes, and will be able to play until they either hit level 15, or reach the 7-day limit.

If they do enjoy the game enough to consider buying it, EA will give them the chance to purchase the game at a discounted price. No word on just how heavily it will be discounted, but they did state that it would have to be the digital version, purchased through Origin.
