"Star Wars: The Old Republic will introduce a free-to-play option next week, Electronic Arts has announced. The free-to-play element will launch on November 15, alongside the Cartel Market and in-game reward scheme for existing subscribers.  Free-to-play users will have full access to the game&amp;#039;s story content and all eight classes up through level 50. However, players will only have access to three of the playable races during character customisation - humans, zabrak and cyborgs. There will also be a limit of only three Flashpoints, Warzones and Space Missions that players can participate in each week. Free-to-play access will limit the player&amp;#039;s inventory and ship cargo hold, and will have longer wait times to log in, longer quick travel cooldown times, and a limit of five times a player can revive in the field. The restrictions can be bypassed through in-game purchases using the new Cartel Coin currency. For Flashpoints, Warzones and Space Missions, players can purchase a weekly premium pass to gain temporary unlimited access. &amp;gt; Read Digital Spy&amp;#039;s review of Star Wars: The Old Republic Users who continue to pay the subscription fee will not be limited by any of the free-to-play restrictions and will receive a one-off payment of 250 Cartel Coins, and additional coins based on how long they&amp;#039;ve been playing. Furthermore, users who resubscribe by December 20 will be compensated with Cartel Coins for previous months paid.
