Star Wars: The Old Republic, abbreviated as TOR or SWTOR, is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game based in theStar Wars universe. Developed by BioWare Austin and a supplemental team at BioWare Edmonton, the game was first announced on October 21, 2008, at an invitation-only press event.^[6] The video game was released for the Microsoft Windowsplatform on December 20, 2011 in North America and part of Europe.^{[7][8][9][10]} Early access to the game began one week before release, on December 13, 2011, for those who had pre-ordered the game online; access opened in "waves" based on pre-order date.^[10]

Although BioWare has not disclosed development costs, industry leaders and financial analysts have estimated it to be between $150 million and $200 million. If accurate, this would make it the most expensive video game ever developed.^[11][12] The game had 1 million subscribers within three days of its launch, making it the world's 'Fastest-Growing MMO Ever'.

It becomes free to play on November 15th, so my question to you is - Does anyone play it plans to start playing it? I certainly want to give it a go since KOTOR 1 and 2 were among my favorite games ever.

I used to play Tie Fighter & that was a freakin' blast. I haven't had the chance to play both KOTOR 1 & 2, but I have them I spend too much time here & playing Forza Motorsport 4
