SWTOR free-to-play restrictions and more Cartel Shop items

With accounts now being treated as free-to-play accounts on the SWTOR Public Test Server, more information is being revealed about how big the differences between the subscriber accounts and free-to-play accounts are.

The SWTOR free-to-play restrictions aren't limited to what Bioware originally announced, which is no big surprise, but some of the limitations are quite surprising.

For a full list of all the restrictions Bioware announced and new ones being discovered as people play, check SWTOR free-to-play restrictions here.

And if you are like me, and thinking about switching to the F2P model when it goes live, you'll want to start guesstimating the prices of individual cartel coins. The Cartel Shop prices have been revealed on the PTS, but real world cost for them has yet to be announced.

You can check out the Cartel Shop items geared to free-to-play here.

Update: The free-to-play restrictions have been updated - and are now slightly less severe. And there is more information about preferred status, which will apply to those who drop their subs to go F2P.
