Star Wars: The Old Republic May Survive After All With Regular Content Updates
AusGamers got to chat with the Bioware Austin General Manager Matt Bromberg to ask about what is in store for Star Wars: The Old Republic. Things haven’t exactly been going well for the game as we all know, so it’s only natural to be curious. If you haven’t heard, the game will be going free to play in November.
To make the transition a bit easier, they’re giving out Cartel Coins (the in-game currency for FTP) for becoming and being a subscriber. It goes as follows:
“So you get credit, not just for becoming a subscriber now, going forward, but also for all the time that you were a subscriber, you get more credits and more coin. So we’re hoping that that will encourage people to come back to the game and try it now.”
Extra incentive will be the major content updates that they are committing to. They will be happening about every six weeks, and will be something major such as a new operation, flashpoint, warzone, or event. They say they’re going to stick to it, but we’ll have to see how the transition goes first.
