Star Wars: The Old Republic Double XP weekends inbound

If you’ve been having problems levelling up your Old Republic character on an F2P account, this March should present the perfect opportunity for a boost.

To celebrate the release of the new expansion, Rise of the Hutt Cartel, Star Wars: The Old Republic is doubling the XP rate on all servers every weekend, this March. There couldn’t be a better time to start a new character or boost your existing one to the level cap. From Cardiff to Copenhagen, the internet is abuzz with the new expansion.

If you’re having second thoughts about being a subscriber, you can visit the SWTOR site and see the added bonus of the first digital expansion of the game.

Or if you’re downloading the game for the first time, why not play something else while you wait for those sizable gigabytes to end up on your hard drive? Despite fast internet connections, downloading the game will require some serious patience on the part of the player and a lot of waiting around.

So, to fill the time-sized gap, updating your social network or playing interesting games online like poker could be the way to go. Gaming portals like Partypoker are very popular throughout Europe because they have a complete variety of poker games available at the click of a mouse.

Poker is great for the gamer that needs to keep playing, it’s also pretty good at creating a relaxed concentration, allowing the player to rest their eyes after long hours of play. You won’t have to go to Casino Copenhagen and pay membership fees to start playing and you can use play money to practice and hone your skills should you want to invest more.

Poker can be a great supplement to MMORPG playtime, teaching patience and sharper decision making skills, but Partypoker is also a solid game on its own merits. And who knows, after playing a little bit, you may decide to play a lot, long after your TOR download has completed. You may even decide to purchase a subscription. This provides unrestricted access to the game and even more options to choose from. Even without the extras, the game has a lot to offer, but it’s more convenient to have some services available to you when your character reaches mid level and you need to start putting away some items or sell them in auction.

Whether you prefer playing in a group or going Sith solo, the XP boost this month will definitely help your character go a long way. To quantify that to something tangible, my friend started a new character during the XP boost under an F2P account and he’s now a level 27 Sith Juggernaut. He even managed an 8 hour nap in-between!

Since you level up faster, you finish quests faster and you’re at a higher level than the quest necessitates, giving you further advantage.

Play smart and make sure you get involved!
