Just wanted to let everyone know who doesn't currently play; SWTOR will be allowing people to play for free on their "weekend pass" Starting Thursday, March 15th and going until Monday, March 19th.
If your in my shoes, wanting to play but not ready to fork over 60 bucks without really trying it out first annnd don't have any friends that play willing to hand over one of their free invites, this will be the perfect opportunity!!
