It seems that more and more, MMOs are adopting the free-to-play model every week.City of HeroesandDC Universe Onlinehave already done so and by the end of the yearLineage IIwill be in the same boat. They aren’t exactly calling it “free-to-play,” since that usually implies various levels of membership for the playerbase.Lineage IIis going “Truly Free,” meaning that you will have absolutely no restrictions while paying nothing at all.
Along with this new subscription model,Lineage IIwill be bringing a huge content update titledGoddess of Destruction. NCSoft is claiming that players will be able to experience more than 400 hours with this new update as they level up from 1-99.
I’m quite surprised that every single player will have the same access with no tiered membership. I can only hope that more MMOs adopt this policy over the now-traditional free-to-play model, especially since it will likely attract more new players by not starting them at a disadvantage. Is this “Truly Free” model significant enough to get you guys to try outLineage IIif you haven’t already?
