With Star Wars: The Quondam Republic launching a new expansion pack in merely a few weeks, many players are returning to the game to bank check out the new gainsay style system the game is implementing. When Reddit user Marcoalexander, an old Star Wars: The Old Democracy player and streamer, returned to the game, he discovered thousands of Dare Coins waiting for him, thanks to an authenticator he bought years ago.

Cartel Coins are an in-game currency caused by spending existent money, or given every bit a office of maintaining a premium SWTOR subscription in the otherwise free-to-play MMORPG. Cartel Coins can be exchanged for any number of special cosmetic items and items that loosen the restrictions on free-to-play accounts, granting them access to Premium and bonus features.

SWTOR as well gives 100 Dare Coins a month to those using a second form of authentication, either through the phone app or a physical device. Marcoalexander purchased an authenticator when The Old Commonwealth beginning launched ten years agone, but dropped off of the game shortly after. Subsequently recently logging in over again, he discovered he had over 12,000 Cartel Coins–nearly $100 dollars in value–waiting for him from the monthly authenticator bonuses, which hadn't stopped accumulating over his hiatus.

Marcoalexander's young man players were jealous to hear of his substantial savings, specially with a special account-wide unlock auction occurring soon in the Cartel Market in celebration of Legacy of the Sith's launch. Many other players shared similar stories of accumulated Dare Coin wealth, with another player sharing how they forgot to unsubscribe to the game for years, leaving them with over 30,000 Cartel Coins subsequently their return–close to $250 dollars in value.

However, many players lamented how little Marcoalexander's newfound wealth could really take him. While not an insignificant amount, fifty-fifty with the ongoing sale, Marcoalexander realized his Dare Coins would very quickly diminish if he didn't plan carefully. The fact players have ways to accumulate Cartel Coins over time is the only reason many are able to afford items in the Cartel Market, though many wish the stipend for premium memberships and authenticators was higher, given the prices. Notwithstanding, many are satisfied to exist able to play The Quondam Republic for free, even with restrictions.

With Legacy of the Sith launching in a couple of weeks, it isn't surprising Marcoalexander decided to cheque out what the MMO has to offering. Most notably among its changes is the new character creation arrangement, which allows characters in SWTOR to cull a seperate Origin Story and Combat Style, which can exist mixed and matched between other Force or Tech using classes respectively. At present is a great fourth dimension for players to see how the game has changed over the years–and run across if they have a Cartel Money nest egg of their ain to spend.

Star Wars: The Old Democracy is available for PC. Legacy of the Sith launches on December 14.
