Become a Founder of the Republic

I received an interesting e-mail from BioWare giving me and others the chance to become a founding member of Star Wars: The Old Republic. I have to admit this is a smart move by BioWare to keep their player base around just a little longer if they were thinking of leaving. Also it shows they have the ability to learn from other games as players will like the idea of being able to show they were there from the start.


All you have to do to receive the new in game title and medal is to first have purchased the game and secondly pay for an extension on your subscription, either by a subscription plan or by using a game card. Easy enough and five years from now players won't have to tell people they were there in the beginning, but could show them the proof.

Here is the link to the page with all the information on it or read it below.
