If you are a fan of Star Wars: The Old Republic, or if you played and haven’t stopped in for a while, now is your chance. As of tomorrow morning, patch 2.0 will go in, lighting up the early-access for the first expansion for the game – Rise of the Hutt Cartel. The expansion gives players new achievements, raises the level cap to 55, a revamp of 5 Hard-Mode flashpoints and the addition of a new one, some new combat skills past level 50, and quite a bit more. The price? $9.99 if you are a subscriber, or $19.99 if you are running with the Free-to-Play option. Want to get a closer look at the expansion? Behold the “Scum and Villainy” trailer featuring the Battle for Mackeb.
Enjoy!
