Star Wars: The Old Republic Game Launches Today

Star Wars: The Old Republic is launching today and is one of the coolest MMORPG games I have seen in a long time. Any Star Wars fan will want to check this game out. The game launches officially today and last night many gamers around the world lined up to be among the first to get their hands on the game. Anything Star Wars related often means that geeks will be dressed up and apparently, that happened last night in major cities like NYC, Paris, London, and Austin.

The new game is a story driven MMO that allows the fans of the franchise to start their own saga in the Star Wars universe. The game is from EA, BioWare and LucasArts. It has high quality voice acting, full story lines, and lots of personal choices for the player to make that will have consequences. The MMO is set a thousand years before the Star Wars movies.

Players can choose to join with the Galactic Republic or the Sith Empire. There are eight Star Wars characters to choose from with a Jedi Knight, Jedi Consular, Smuggler, Trooper, Sith Warrior, Sith Inquisitor, Bounty Hunter, and Imperial Agent. The game comes with 30 days of game play. After that first month players need to sign up for monthly service at $14.99 per month, $41.97 for three months, or $77.94 for 6-months.
