BioWare, a Label of Electronic Arts, will be expanding the massively multiplayer online game Star Wars: The Old Republic by adding a new free-to-play option this fall. This option will give players access to each of the eight iconic Star Wars character class storylines. Unlimited game access, including new higher-level game content and new features, will be made available through individual purchases or through a subscription option.

The first 50 levels will be free-to-play, with restrictions on access to new content and advanced player features. Some restrictions can be “unlocked” with Cartel Coins.
