It can be free if you download it online and not buy it in store.

The Free to Play option will let you experience the game for free all the way to the max level (50), however, you will be extremly limited in game features. Below are just a few of the restrictions.

• Limited to 3 flashpoints per week
• Limited to 5 Warzones per week
• No access to operations
• 2 Galactic trade network selling slots at a time
• Very limited access to general chat, also cannot whisper someone unless they whisper you first
• Limited to 2 characters total
• Limited to 2 quickslot bars
• Credit cap is set to 200,000 credits
• Commendation cap of 20 at a time

Those are just some of the basics. You can upgrade to "Preferred Status" buy buying something from the Swtor store on the site, like Cartel Coins. Cartel Coins allow you to unlock some features of the game, like crew skills, cargo access, expanded inventory slots, etc. Buying anything will get you preferred status.

Preferred status players are higher in the "food chain" than Free to Players. They have more quickslot bars (4 total, in a coming patch), higher credit cap (350,000), automatic access to their cargo hold (free to players cannot access their cargo holds), and in a coming patch, will be able to access 6 character slots instead of just two

There are several Jedi Codes as the term simply refers to a set of teachings such as The Crystal Code and so on. The most common lesson referred to by the term Jedi Code is the Jedi Mantra, or Way of the Jedi.

There are even different versions of the mantra depending on what part of Jedi history you are exploring.

The earliest known form of the mantra is:

Emotion, yet peace.

Ignorance, yet knowledge.

Passion, yet serenity.

Chaos, yet harmony.

Death, yet the force.

The mantra predates most established Jedi history but is said to be the basis for it's formation.

The refined version was established by Odan-Urr and transcribed by Homonix Rectonia during the Early Manderon Period, this version carried on for thousands of years up through the time period of the Old Republic:

There is no emotion, there is peace.

There is no ignorance, there is knowledge.

There is no passion, there is serenity.

There is no chaos, there is harmony.

There is no death, there is the force.

The fourth line "There is no chaos, there is harmony", is removed from some Jedi texts and teachings. (For example the book quoted during the funeral of Mara Jade Skywalker omits the 4th line). By the time of the clone wars, this version of the Jedi code is considered mostly ceremonial.

An alternate version of the Jedi Code was later established sometime before the clone wars and is more commonly found in texts from that period right before the fall of the Jedi to the clones and is what is taught in Jedi schools of that time:

Jedi are the guardians of peace in the galaxy.

Jedi use their powers to defend and protect, never to attack others.

Jedi respect all life, in any form.

Jedi serve others, rather than rule over them, for the good of the galaxy.

Jedi seek to improve themselves through knowledge and training.

Grand Master Luke Skywalker would later revise this code when he establishes the new Jedi Order, Skywalkers version is:

Jedi are the guardians of peace in the galaxy.

Jedi use their powers to defend and to protect.

Jedi respect all life, in any form.

Jedi serve others rather than ruling over them, for the good of the galaxy.

Jedi seek to improve themselves through knowledge and training.

Luke continues to use the Old republic version (minus the 4th line) in ceremonial proceedings (such as his wife's funeral) but uses the revised code as the basis for teaching students.

In counterpoint the Sith code is also based loosely on the ideas from the Jedi's original mantra; it's most widely known form was also revised around the same time the as the early Jedi's and remains through the time of the Old Republic:

Peace is a lie, there is only passion.

Through passion I gain strength.

Through strength I gain power.

Through power I gain victory.

Through victory my chains are broken.

The force shall free me.

There are no known further revisions to the Sith Code and the mantra is not spoken of during the clone wars era (or after).

An example of one of the other Jedi Codes is The Crystal Code:

The crystal is the heart of the blade.

The heart is the crystal of the Jedi.

The Jedi is the crystal of the Force.

The Force is the blade of the heart.

All are intertwined.

The crystal, the blade, the Jedi.

We are one.

The crystal code was originally chanted by the teacher while watching a student make their first lightsaber. Later when it became tradition for a student to assemble the blade in private it became more common for the student to recite it themselves during creation.

Many other codes are believed to exist as well as other versions of the primary mantra but they are only referenced by name without being quoted in full. As the Jedi order has fallen, reformed or simply been revised many times over many thousands of years it is unknown just how many could potentially exist, just as the rules and laws they follow have also evolved over many millenia.

Star Wars The Old Republic is a subscription based game such as World of Warcraft. You will need to pay $14.99 each month if you want to enjoy all the benefits of the game.

You can play the game for free, however you will be severely limited in what you can use and do. Some basic limitations are listed below.

• Credit cap of 200,000 credits.
• Very limited chat capabilities and cannot see the /who list
• Only 2 action bars
• Limited to only 2 characters total (across all servers)
• Cannot wear the higher quality gear
• Can only do 3 flashpoints and 5 warzones per week, and no access to operations.
• No cargo bay access, and limited to an inventory of 30 slots.
• One Crew Skill

If you want, you can purchase Cartel Coins from the store, and unlock some of these features. Buying anything from the store will get you Preferred Status. Basically still free to play but with a little more perks.

Basic Preferred Status Perks:

• Credit capped at 350,000
• Four action bars and a total of six character slots (soon)
• Cargo bay access
• Two Crew Skills (can purchase one more from Cartel Store)
• Greater chat access and can see the /who list

There are three levels of subscriber-ship for Star Wars: The Old Republic.

1. Free To Play - Pay nothing at all, ever. You can play two characters all the way to level 50 and not pay anything. Severely limited in game features and what you can have and use.
2. Preferred Status Players - This is where free to play members have bought something from the SWTOR.com store (Cartel Coins, Physical Security Device, or Digital Upgrade Pack). Less limited than Free To Play, but still not full access.
3. Full Subscriber - You pay a monthly subscription, and get access to all of the games features.

Full subscribers have a few options in what plan they choose:

• 60 day non-recurring game time - $29.99
• 30 day recurring - $14.99 each month
• 90 day recurring - $13.99 each month, billed every 90 days
• 180 day recurring - $12.99 each month, billed every 180 days

Depends. If your asking if two players can be on the same computer, than no, Only one person can be on that computer at a given time.

However, if you asking about the game itself is singleplayer, than no. It's genre is an MMO (a.k.a Massive MultiplayerOnline). So you will find that other player will also being playing that game as well.

EDIT: But, you might already know that all the official Star Wars Galaxies servers have shut down.
