Is it possible to get passed level 50 in SWTOR with a free to play character?

[athenken]

I have recently reached level 50 while playing with a free to play character, but even though I am able to earn experience points I am pretty much stuck at Level 50.  I am currently on Balmorra which has an average level of 33.

Sorry, the level cap for PREFERED AND FREE TO PLAY IS 50, no matter the level of the planet. The xp you gain is saved....but you won't be able to level up unless you subscribe.

I was afraid of that.  I guess I will be taking a break for a while then.  Would have liked to continue on, but I really can't justify the subscription fee.

@athenken As far as I'm aware, just subscribing for a month will allow you to level past 50 as well as give you access to the expansions (which you will retain after the sub runs out). Seems like a good choice for those only interested in the story.  

[athenken]

Yeah, but if I let the subscription run out will I be frozen at whatever level I had attained at that point?  I would imagine EA games would have thought of this.

@athenken

Once you have subscribed for 30 days you can continue to level to 70 and access all the expansions to KOTET the only thing I believe you cant access is the galactic command after the sub ends

Ie even after your sub stops if you create a new character you can level to 70 and play all the currently released expansions

[athenken]

Is 70 the highest level in the game?

[Rakalf]

yes 70 is cap for now.

F2P=Level 50

Preferred=Level 65 (For me for some reason)

Subscriber=Limitless

Preferred What ever the max Level was as they last Subscribed or 55/ 60 if they bought Makeb/ SoR.
