The other (better) options off Amazon and Origin give you a code you enter - sub starts when you redeem it. \r\n\r\n3) Best deal is $40 for 3 months playtime off [Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Republic-Cartel-Exclusive/dp/B00T8NURF8/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8\u0026amp;qid=1502143898\u0026amp;sr=8-2\u0026amp;keywords=swtor\u0026amp;th=1) as it gives you extra free cartel coins that you can use to buy things you really want.\r\n\r\n4) If you are trying SWtOR I'd suggest playing it free for a bit - see if you like it before spending money on a sub.","subreddit_name":"swtor","author":"Alortania"},{"body":"I mean, they're right - it was your choice to use the name and it is your right to change it.  You definitely won't get a free name change if you are aggressive with them, but you can potentially ask for escalation - admit that you know it's your fault and there are in game options, but that will take some time and you're hoping they can cut you some slack.  Try calling them (assuming you're a subscriber).  \r\n\r\nBut ultimately, yeah, you're most likely going to need to purchase a rename.  They do go on sale, and make sure you have a security key attached to your account so you get more coins.  \r\n\r\nIf you're going to stay subscribed anyway, you can buy the [90 Day Bundle from Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Republic-Knights-Eternal/dp/B00T8NURF8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8\u0026amp;qid=1533223478\u0026amp;sr=8-1\u0026amp;keywords=the+old+republic) which is the same cost as subbing through the game, but comes with 2400 extra coins which you can use to buy the rename.  ","subreddit_name":"swtor","author":"medullah"},{"body":"Also buy this if you can. It gives you 3 months and quite a bit more cc than origin. You can buy every 3 months and apply the new code each time.

They've removed the focuses (PvP/PvE/RP) and made PvP/PvE phases on each server, so you can do either anywhere now. From what I see though, the PvP instances are far emptier.\r\n\r\nIf you plan to sub, I recommend the [Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Republic-Knights-Starter/dp/B00T8NURF8?ie=UTF8\u0026amp;keywords=swtor%20outlander%20bundle\u0026amp;qid=1459804568\u0026amp;ref_=sr_1_1\u0026amp;s=videogames\u0026amp;sr=1-1) bundle; 3 months + coins for $40. After that there are 2 2month packs from origin and a new one on swtor.com\r\n\r\nAs others have said, the Light v Dark event starts soon, so no point wasting time leveling toons now. I *would* say make a toon on a couple servers and just see what the populations are like so you don't waste time once it starts hopping servers. Getting to 10 is dead easy, even without xp boosts, so it won't take you long to hit fleet.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n","subreddit_name":"swtor","author":"Alortania"},{"body":"If you subscribe for one month, you get all the content released up to that point permanently.  So you would get Makeb, Shadow of Revan and KOTFE in it's entirety.\r\n\r\nWe don't know much about the Shae Vizla subscriber reward, but there is a good chance that it will be like Niko Ocarr, where there is a short cutscene meeting her and recruiting her.  It will also be like Niko where the only way to get her is to be a sub, no other options.  \r\n\r\nCompanions are all relatively homogenized at this point so she'll just be another companion.  \r\n\r\nWhat I would recommend would be to get the Amazon KOTFE bundle - $40 for cartel coins and 90 days of sub access.  This will give you all of KOTFE, have you subbed in time for the pre-KOTET sub rewards, and then give you KOTET as well (which is supposedly only 9 chapters).  \r\n\r\nhttps://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Republic-Knights-Starter/dp/B00T8NURF8/","subreddit_name":"swtor","author":"medullah"},{"body":"I really, really recommend only using cartel coins to unlock items in collections.  Unless you have a ton of coins like /u/SirUrza says, collections unlocks and server transfers are the only things that you can ONLY use cartel coins for - everything else you can use credits.  \r\n\r\nAlso doubling \"Don't buy coins.\"  If you want some coins to throw around and plan on staying a sub, I'd recommend [this pack from Amazon](https://smile.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Republic-Knights-Eternal/dp/B00T8NURF8).
