Current Events > Looking to get back into The Old Republic

(+) Yeah! (+)

Haven't played it in a couple years, can't imagine how much stuff has changed and what's been added. Wish me luck.

I wish it wasn't subscription based because I'd definitely still play if it wasn't.

What

There's a subscription and an option to play without one

I miss the old talent tree.

Is the full game available without subscription like ESO? Or is it more like WoW where you can play up to a certain point?

You can play through all the storylines. Just limited character slots and some quests arent doable, but those are side ones that dont matter much if at all. Though its been a while since I last checked the free to play, so things could have changed.

Well shit. Maybe I'll get back into it to check it out.

Oh god, what did they change?

are there a lotta chicks on that game or what

i've realized old semi-dead MMOs are a decent hunting ground for depressed chicks in their late 20s

I think the free to play version also requires more grind since you don't get as much xp points as subscribers or something like that.

I think they only made one major change a long time ago, but got rid of the select talents that were like classic WoW and made it more streamlined but super boring.

I'm seeing that now. I logged back into one of my old characters and my action bars are a lot emptier than they were.

They added a lot of abilities so they will be too full soon. Not sure if they did more pruning in recent years.

I still play this game and enjoy it a lot. The changes aren't really something you'll notice since you're just coming back to it. The biggest being that you can now select more than one fighting style, as long as it corresponds with your weapon skill type. For example, if you play a Jedi Consular, you can also take on the abilities of a Sith Assassin. So you can play a Jedi storyline but have access to Force Lightning.
