Free-to-play Improvements and December Offers
With the year drawing to a close, and the great new free expansion Secrets of the Dragon's Spine inbound, we also have some exciting updates and offers that will make it even easier for you all to enjoy your adventures in the brutal lands of Hyboria, and prepare to discover what lies hidden in the deserts of the Dragon's Spine.
F2P Option improvements
As time goes by we always like to stay aware of the trends in the MMO space, and as more and more games move to offer wider F2P options, we are always looking for how we can keep our offer interesting and appealing for prospective new players. To this end we are tinkering a little with our free to play offering and improving what is available. So what does that mean for you?
- All Classes Unlocked! Free players may now try any of the games classes completely free.
- Classic Dungeons unlocked! The complete selection of classic dungeons are now unlocked for free play. This includes ALL the pre-80 dungeons and a selection of level 80 dungeons as well! Level 80 adventures in The Crow's Nest, The Iron Tower, Xibaluku, The Slaughterhouse Cellar and Attilius' Mansion are all now available for free play!
- Gold cap increased! In order to allow free players to engage more in the end game economy, in particular with the incoming new crafting system in mind, the gold cap on free accounts has been raised from 2g to 10g.
What's more is that you don't have to wait! These changes are live with the winter game update today.
