Just how free-to-play will it be?

There will essentially be four tiers of this new business model: completely free, plus the Silver, Gold, and VIP subscription levels. The subscriptions will offer reward points, much as the game does now, but with even more items to purchase with those points. Keep in mind that these may not be the official names of the subscription tiers on release.

Free: This is to be considered an unlimited free trial, by which players will be allowed to play the game from end to end completely free if they'd like. They just won't earn any reward points.

Silver: This tier will cost less than the current sub price (which is currently $14.99 a month) and provide the same content. All subscriptions (Silver, Gold, and VIP) will also earn enhanced XP gain.

Gold: This will cost the same as the current sub fee but offer more reward points and bonuses each month, which can be spent in the item shop. So you'll be getting more for the same price.

VIP: With this top tier (which will most likely cost more than the current sub fee), players will have the ability to share their VIP bonuses with everyone in their party in the form of a VIP "aura." So if one person in your party is VIP but the rest are free players, everyone in the group will still reap the rewards of this aura. These rewards are also stackable, so if you have a full party of VIP members, you can expect some crazy boosts for everyone in the group.

Also, the game will be a free download from the GamersFirst site, but the company will not be removing either the current stock of boxed copies being sold in brick and mortar stores or the Steam digital download. If you do buy a boxed copy, you'll get some sort of subscription compensation to equal things out. Details on this haven't been finalized yet.

What will be offered in the item shop?

This is something that hasn't been set in stone yet, but some examples given were items that decrease crafting time and the possibility of more cosmetic content.

Many of the items in the item shop will be available to purchase for both GamersFirst credits (something used for all of its games) and Fallen Earth reward points. This allows you to pay through game means or just outright with cash.

When does this new business model start?

There's no definite date yet, but the developers say it should be within the next few months if all goes well.

Will the game's development change?

Marie says that the current development schedule is on target and will remain intact. Past Alpha County, the team hopes to introduce more player-driven content with long-term features. This is something it has discussed previously (especially with progress towns) and is still aiming to deliver. With the added resources from GamersFirst, the development goals should be easier to reach, but the design decisions themselves will not be dictated by GamersFirst.

It's important to note that any of the details here can change before the new business model takes effect. As with APB: Reloaded's development, GamersFirst promises regular dev blog posts from Bjorn Book-Larsson to keep players updated on how all of this will progress. Stay tuned to Massively for more as the details are released!

Bo jeżeli opcja free to będzie nieskończony trial, ale z takimi samymi ograniczeniami np lvl cap 10, to nikt tego nie tknie. To nie Warhammer.

oho napisałem trochę później w dziale FE to samo :< Nie brzmi tragicznie, zresztą większość gier F2P z opcjami premium to takie unlimited triale. No ale wszystko zależy od ograniczeń.

Literally. You don’t have to buy quests or zones or classes or skills or levels or anything. You can download the game and start playing, and as long as you’ve got electricity and internet, you don’t have to pay a dime. This might sound counter-intuitive when compared to some of the current implementations of free-to-play, but we have a feeling they’ll come around soon!" z Dev Bloga. i "Now while content, quests, levels, and all that will be available, here is the list of ‘limits’ that will exist on free accounts; free accounts will continue to have the trading and auction house limits that trial accounts currently have, they’ll have only a single character slot, a limited number of time each day in which they can craft, and a limit to the maximum chips they can hold (though this limit disappears if you make any purchase; so if, heaven forbid, you only make a single purchase, there is no subsequent chip limit). Free accounts will be able to do every quest, visit every sector and instance, have no limits on what items they can craft or gear they can use, and most importantly, their accounts won’t be locked after 30 days as is the case today. They won’t be able to send items through the mail (take that, gold farmers!) but they will be able to receive items, so you can send stuff to your buddies if they have free accounts. A free account is the perfect way to get in and experience the game for someone who casually wants to check it out, do a few quests, or catch up with old friends."

No i bardzo ładnie. Na pewno spróbuję, mimo że grałem tylko w triala i to krótko, to mi się całkiem podobało. I klimat fajny falloutowy i mechanika oryginalna w miarę.
