Well if you just want to do story missions which I recommend it's good. Its really as good as any other bioware rpg. You have no limitations there.

I have a level 60 bounty hunter. Can i play with it? Do some warzones and stuff?

[Banok]

well the story/quests are only part of the game worth playing, so im not sure how they plan to make any money.

still sucks compared to the singleplayer games tho.

You probably have a lvl 50 bounty hunter since that's the level cap IIRC

Basically, the leveling and story part lvl1-50 is free, if you want to do some serious endgame like warzone grinding or operations/flashpoints, then you're better off subbing because it's horribly limited.

Also:

"Star Wars: The Old Republic stands as one of the greatest and most ambitious achievements in video game history," BioWare says. (dec 2011)

lol

Oh, was it 50? I don't really remember.

Definately worth trying if you haven't played it before, since the single player experience is quite fun, and you got eight seperate arcs that are quite distinct. Naturally the side-quests will remain the same for either faction, but as one who had a handful of 50s and paid a sub in order to play... more than worth it when it's free. ;)

With that said, the pvp in swtor is bloody excellent, even the pug play is fun even if the win ratio naturally goes down. And those (warzones) will require a sub or a weekly fee in order to get more than three per week (one match lasts around 15 min iirc).

Also, there is truly no "fun" end-game content (still incredibly buggy and boring "raids" months after release), apart from pvp. One of the few things swtor and gw2 managed to fail at together, even is swtor gets a personal pass from me since it didn't try to hide that it WAS in fact a single-player story mode game with some mmo features slapped on.

It's fun for PvE players, yes. I enjoy missions and quests. They're nicely build up and the atmosphere including voices is amazing. If you play for free, you can have 2 characters on each server. That is not many, as there are 4 classes, 2 factions and many races. They also got less servers now, but they seem to be more stable than any server before ().
I already saw the ingame shop is selling quite important stuff.
An example: If you want more inventory space you would usually buy it for credits (ingame currency). But now only customers can do that, and anyone playing for free got to buy those for real life money. Another example are equipment pieces that can be bough for real life money. I just took a quick look at it, so I cannot say much about it. Can't say if that actually changes much for PvP. Besides, I've never been interested in PvP in swtor anyway. I bought it just for quests back then.

Edit: You can have 2 characters IN TOTAL... damn, now that is stupid. I already created 10 characters when I played at release. I've got to delete at least 9 of them now to create a new one... even with subscription only twelve are allowed in total...
