The lights are on
Bioware wants to give everyone a chance to check out Star Wars: The Old Republic, so this weekend it is offering players an opportunity to play the game for free.
Starting Thursday, March 15 at 12:01 AM CDT and ending on Monday, March 19th at 2:00 AM CDT, interested participants can download and play the game free of charge, without any kind of payment information needed.
Bioware is directed those who want more information to www.starwarstheoldrepublic.com/weekendpass, but currently that page leads to a error page with a Wookie and a droid on it. I assume they are there trying to get the page fixed up.
If you decide you would like to partake, be sure to look at our guide on how to get started in The Old Republic.

Awe. Some. No seriously, that's so awesome; I hope this made you fan of SWTOR if you weren't already.
I've never played an MMO before but this looks like the perfect opportunity to start
Thanks! i am totally trying this.
GET IN. I've been wanting to check this out since release but was unsure if my laptop will run it and wasn't willing to risk £40 for if it couldn't!
Good sales technique. I'm not an MMO person but I've had this game since release and it's awesome.
This is the only way I'll play WoW with lightsabers.
no thanks, im still having fun with skyrim and my vita.
Oh... my God.... That's a brilliant idea! I'm definetly gonna try it out! And its FREE!
I wonder how many times I'm going to level my Agent with the rested bonus I've built up. XD
I'm definitely going to take up this offer. I have yet to have time to purchase this game, so why not try it out on a free weekend! Great idea.
