Video game developer BioWare and publisher Electronic Arts have announced that all those interested in their Star Wars: The Old Republic MMO will be able to try out the experience for free during this extended weekend.

The Weekend Pass Free Trial opens on Thursday, March 15 at exactly 12:01 AM Central Daylight Time and will run all the way to Monday, March 19 at exactly 2:00 AM CDT. The Central Daylight Time zone is five hours behind the Coordinate Universal Time.

The developers state, “Individuals who take part in the Weekend Pass will be able to experience the opening adventures of each of the eight character classes in the game, exploring both their Origin World and may even have the opportunity to visit their faction’s Capital World.

“Additionally, Weekend Pass players will have the chance to face off against other players in PvP Warzones, or join up with friends and play through a couple of early faction-specific Flashpoints in the game, The Esseles and The Black Talon.”
