New Star Wars The Old Republic update expands the MMORPG’s free-to-play features

What is it about the Old Republic that makes Star Wars fans all misty eyed? You’d think that the prequel trilogy did enough damage for us not to want more stories from before Luke Skywalker was born. Alas, we’re gluttons for punishment and lap up every expanded-universe novel, game, and anything else we can get our hands on. The pinnacle, for me at least, is BioWare’s series of RPGs. While many players will fondly remember Knights of the Old Republic and its sequel, MMORPG Star Wars: The Old Republic is a classic in its own right, held back only by its monetisation.
