Yesterday, we reported on how those with active Star Wars: The Old Republic accounts and a level 50 character would get a free month of game time. This pissed people off.
BioWare made the requirements for their "level 50 gets a free month of game time" deal a bit easier to obtain, but not by much. Apparently a thread spanning 255 pages and other threads that have popped up have finally swayed BioWare to open the free month up to the slightly less than hardcore crowd.
They also extended the time in which players have to reach either rank 50 or a legacy ranking of 6. That time cut is now set for April 22nd at noon (CDT).
So, while the casual players are still probably screwed, there is a bit more leeway here. Just still rather odd that not everybody with an active subscription will get this free time. The monthly fee is still $15 for everyone last I knew.

We just released the innovative Legacy System as part of Game Update 1.2, and felt that looking at Legacy point progression across all of your characters was a great way to reward our most avid players. This means that any of the experience you earn with any of your characters brings you closer to the goal of Legacy Level 6. The choice of how to get to Legacy Level 6 is yours.
First, you need to have passed Chapter 1 to unlock your legacy. Examples of how to get to Legacy Level 6 include:
- A pair of characters Level 45 and 42
- A trio of characters of Levels 45, 32 and 32
- A bunch of characters Levels 35, 33, 31, 29 and 20
- A single 50th level character that has enjoyed the endgame for a brief time
Remember these are just examples – you’re free to choose how to earn your Legacy experience to gain Legacy Level 6.
