    If you were in the beta or one of the beta weekends like me, you might want to wait to see if they send you a 7-day trial instead — which gives you more game time, and can be activated anytime in the next 2 weeks (rather than being limited to just this weekend). Or if you're super cheap, you could even create another account to take advantage of both this weekend pass and the 7-day trial. ;)

    This is the text of the email I just received this morning:

    Are they at the point of attempting desperate free offers to get people in already?

  • pingMarky on 15/03/2012 - 10:08

    I have a SWTOR subscription, and play irregularly.
    The first 20 lvls are by FAR the BEST in the game!!!
    More fun with +3 friends :)

    I've just registered for my wife and myself. Should be a fun few hours. SWKOTOR was a great single player RPG so I'll see how SWTOR compares.

    How many GB's is the download?

    • dadots on 15/03/2012 - 22:18

      Interested to know that too!

    Still downloading :( hurry up or the free weekend will be over!

    • twocsies on 17/03/2012 - 02:18

      Seriously this is true. It's 25GB and downloads at 320KB/s, so it would take around 22 hours to download it, assuming nothing goes wrong with your Internet in the meantime.

        I downloaded the client yesterday afternoon at 13.5MB/s with Telstra cable. :)
