SWTOR now free up to level 15

Star Wars: The Old Republic has had free weekends in the past and allowed players to invite their friends to play - up until they hit level 15. The shackles are now off however - and with the 1.3.2 patch anyone can play up to level 15 for free, any time they like. This announcement follows the recent news that Bioware were looking at Free models for SWTOR as their subscription numbers drop.

So if you've ever wanted to check out SWTOR, now is the best time to do so - you'll have to sign up via the official website and download the staggeringly huge client - over 10GB if I remember correctly. You'll be able to play as any race up to level 15, participate in the PVP and perform one Flashpoint mission - although you'll be restricted from trade and the like as you'd expect.

I played SWTOR for a while, but I lost interest after about two months. One of my biggest issues throughout was the general chat, which was like watching 4chan and Reddit fight in real time. Have you played SWTOR, or will you check it out now? Let us know in the comments below.
