Star Wars the Old Republic

Hell yeah SW:TOR is good. No wait it's not simply good it is in my opinion by far the best MMORPG to date. Way better than crappy World of Warcraft.

Playing Star Wars: The Old Republic as a free to play or prefered account is the same as playing with a subscription, with just a few differences (albeit huge differences).

First, is the UI (user interface). As a free to play player you have access to two action bars (unless you spend money to purchase the unlocks), whereas as a subscriber, you have access to all six.

Second, the rate at which you earn experience is lower for free to play and prefered accounts. You also only have access to a limited amount of medical probes (for when you die). Warzones, flashpoints, and space missions are also limited to a few per week.

Third, the amount of credits you can have on a character is very limited whereas subscribers have no limit on credits.

Basically, playing the game as a free to play/prefered player is the same as playing as a subscriber, you just are limited and will take a little longer to level up.

Star Wars: The Old Republic is NOT on Steam. If you wish to download it, then the official site will have it for free. (Link below in the related links section).

Remember, they recently changed to a Free To Play model.

Uh, if you buy it from a retailer, like walmart, yes you probably could return it (i'm not sure). but if you don't buy it from a retailer, you wouldn't be able to return it.

If you want to purchase the box for the game you can, but now that SWTOR is free to play (if you choose) you can just download the game from the official website for free after making an account.

Try getting a computer from IronsideComputers.com. Their prices are very reasonable, and you can pick choose what you want in your computer.

That's just the way they were designed

Your processor is too old to run SW:TOR. I've got the same problem unfortunately, (asked a friend to borrow his copy). Its probably worth a shot if you have any friends though. Get him to use his account to download it onto your computer. If it runs, de-install the launcher and then buy the game. If it doesn't, don't.

If the fan is not working - your computer is more than likely to be overheating - causing the processors to run slowly. Without being fixed, the lack of cool airflow from the fan will cause irreparable (and thus expensive) damage to your computer.

If you choose to become a subscriber then you have the following options for subscription plans:

One Time 60 day time card: $29.99 (USD)

Recurring 30 day time card: $14.99 (USD) billed every 30 days

Recurring 90 day time card: $41.97 (USD) billed every 90 days [$13.99/month]

Recurring 180 day time card: $77.94 (USD) billed every 180 days [$12.99/month]

You can also choose the free to play option without paying anything, but you will be very very limited in what you can do, how much you can have, and limited character options.

Preferred status players have a little more freedom, but are still limited.

There is a unique security key for each account. You get one when you purchase it.

No they are not clones they are humans &/or aliens even though troopers in SW:TOR look like they have the same kind of armor as clone troopers do in episodes 2 & 3. From what I've read tech doesn't change all that much between the Old Republic and the films. If you notice in SW:TOR troopers & bounty hunters use the same kind of blasters & blaster rifles as the movies do and the Jedi & Sith use the same style/kind of light sabers as they do in the movies.

Free to Play member can have 2 characters across all server (NOT two per server)

Preferred Status members can have 2 (soon to be 6) characters across all servers.

Subscribers can have a total of 50 characters across all servers, but only 12 per server (note: this will be changing in a near patch).

No it may install but game play would be horrible and frame rates would be at an almost standstill.

No, Star Wars: The Old Republic does not have a virus, if you are downloading it from the official site. If a warning pops up from an anti-virus scanner that you have installed, then you might want to either upgrade your anti-virus or just ignore that particular warning as it is a false positive.

As of October 2023, "Star Wars: The Old Republic" has won several awards since its release in 2011, including the 2012 Game Developers Choice Online Awards for Best Online Game and Best Community, as well as several MMORPG-specific accolades. While the exact number can vary based on different sources, it has received recognition from various gaming publications and events over the years for its storytelling and gameplay.

You can only talk to your companions when they want to talk to you first. There will be a little icon on their portrait that lets you know they want to talk to you. To talk to them, either go to your ship and talk to them there, or go to a cantina and talk to them there. Sometimes the only place you can talk to them is the ship.

You can buy game cards for it, yes.

The Beta for Star Wars: The Old Republic has ended, and the game was released on December 20th, 2011.

You should be able to run SWTOR with the AMD Radeon HD 8400 graphics card, although you might have to tweak the game setting a little bit to run at a decent FPS.

I have 2GB of RAM and was constantly maxed out in the beta. I don't know that it won't run, but it won't run well.

Well the game was released for the first Xbox at that time. But if Xbox 360 can play games that were intended for the first Xbox, then I think you'd be able to play it. (Can't be 100% positive since I don't own an Xbox 360)

This book technically isn't canonical anymore, but it takes place the furthest in the past. Dawn of the Jedi: Into the Void. This book takes place 25,793 years before the events that happen in A New Hope.

to get a dual lightsaber/ double lightsaber on star wars you need to be a sith inquisitor or jedi consular and get one of these advanced classes

Sith inquisitor= Sith assassin

Jedi consular= Jedi shadow

If the computer meets the minimum system requirements for the game, then it should be able to run it. The minimum system requirements are linked below.
