Did you quit SWTOR but now you want to check it out again? Have friends playing and talking about the new stuff but you let your account lapse?  All you have to do is log in through the launcher!

Now you have some time to check out the game for free and see if it’s worth getting your subscription going again.

This post on SWTOR Facebook explains:

“Haven’t checked out SWTOR since Game Update 1.3? With Group Finder, Ranked Warzones, and higher population servers, the gameplay experience has never been better! Returning players can check out the game for free up to July 17th (provided that you left on or before June 20th). Just start up the SWTOR launcher and log in now! For more information, check out this handy Help Support page. What are you waiting for? Try it for free! Be sure to share this status and spread the word!”

To celebrate the exciting new features added to Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ with Game Update 1.3: Allies, we are happy to announce that we are offering free access to the game for a 7 day period to players who completed at least one billing cycle or added one Gametime Code and whose subscriptions have been inactive since (and including) June 20th, 2012.

If you had friends who played and quit, be sure to let them know that they can come back and check it out again for free. In what they are calling the “Allies promotion” you can check out game update 1.3 info and find out if you want to return to the game or not. So check it out and spread the word!

Here is a list of Help articles related to this promotion from BioWare:

Lisa has been an avid gamer since she was old enough to hold her first controller and a game writer for more than a decade. A child of the Nintendo generation, she believes they just don’t make games like they used to but sometimes, they make them even better! While consoles will always be her first love, Lisa spends most of her gaming time on the PC these days- on MMOs and first-person shooters in particular.
