Star Wars: The Old Republic makes the jump to free today

BioWare's story-driven MMO from a galaxy far, far away, Star Wars: The Old Republic , is available for no credits starting today. Free players will be subject to some restrictions, but it's worth noting that the entirety of all eight class stories, running from level one to level 50, are available without dropping a cent. So if you're only really interested in the KotOR 3-ish content, you shouldn't have to worry about the siren call of the cash shop.

Let us know in the comments if you're planning on returning to TOR or checking out for the first time now that it's, you know, free.
