    Default Star War: the Old Republic, Free to Play?

    This is NOT a rumor.

    According to the talk between BioWare General Manager Dr. Ray Muzyka and Kotaku, Star War: the Old Republic's not-yet-publicized pricing plan will "be more of the traditional business model with maybe some twists as well."

    Muzyka said: "With Star Wars: The Old Republic, we haven't announced anything yet. But what we're striving to do, to clarify what I said earlier, is to make sure the fans and the audience that we're trying to reach feel they are getting something they understand and feel that it is a good value for their money — and feel that there is a way they actually want to engage in the experience, both in how they play it and how they pay for it. That's our high-level goal."
    Oh no, I hate f2p MMOs which usually have item mall. It will ruin the game.

    you dont need to hate them if your not part of them, gamers have the choice if they want to spend money on a free to play game or not, most likely playing a P2P will not let you spend more money but need to grind hard.

    They never said directly that the game will be f2p. In the end its an p2p mmorpg so not a f2p one. Trust me

    seriously, stop reading the bullcrap from mmo-site. the development cost for this game is humongous, it will be suicide to dip into totally f2p with cash shop. and what, free download from their website, without trying to earn even a little from box sales ? Seriously...

    It's called P2P with a cash shop.

    I will go print a t-shirt with "EA, please marry me" if the game goes totally F2P with cash shop.

    It's going P2P, but it may be cheaper with a cash shop (for cosmetics, like what WoW is starting to do).
    and thanks, eurogamer is a much more trusted source than bull-crapping mmo-site.

    That information is kinda misleading, cause The Old Republic won't be F2P, there is just NO WAY for it to be F2P after all the cash invested in it and the fact that it's a AAA mmo made by a great, popular company.

    That will be a bad day.
