Starting this fall, there will be two different ways to play Star Wars: The Old Republic:
- Subscription – A service designed for players who want unrestricted access to all the game features via ongoing subscription or by redeeming a Game Time Card. In addition to gaining access to all game content as our current subscribers do now, Subscribers will receive ongoing monthly grants of Cartel Coins**, the new virtual currency that will be introduced later this fall. Cartel Coins can be used to purchase valuable items including customizable gear and convenience features that will enhance the game play experience.
- Free-to-Play –The first 50 levels will be free-to-play, with some restrictions on access to new content and advanced player features. Some restrictions can be “unlocked” with Cartel Coins.
As the first step towards adding the new Free-to-Play option this fall, in August at retail Star Wars: The Old Republic will go on sale for $14.99 USD, including one-month of free subscription.

Confirmed, they hung up (or rather they took it offline) on GS. Wow. Fuck me.

Wow. GS implying EA of financial fraud or, at the very least, number coloring on the report. This is going to end well. Holy fuck. This is big for those of us working in the financial world.
What are you talking about? The guy from Goldman-Sachs said it was fine to take it offline so that they could take him through the math. It was a really simple misunderstanding about how they reached an income estimate based on projections and you are making it sound like an enron accounting scandal.
