    Hi there. I recently saw that the game became fully F2P. Now my question is do I get anything special since I had to PAY for the game?

    You get to level your skills above 50. That's still a restriction for free to play isn't it?

    You have the universal discours orb for free, and you played since now, you couldn't do it without paying the game.

    No the game is FREE TO PLAY now

    We suppored the game!

    A token of some kind would be appreciated, though. I started at release, so my only accolade is "Outlander" o_O

    Not sure if there has been any official statement, but my take is this: Ep1 has done what it has done. Ep2 is in progress and needs promotion, so Ep1 is now free as that promotion. It is not F2P in the derogatory sense that those three characters imply. There are no "buy this to level up quicker" store items, no "advance past this area with more money, pay here" gimmicks.

    Example: Dragon Age: Inquisition was coming out, so Steam gave away Dragon Age: Origins for free as a promotion. Did I get a F2P game? Or did I just get a free game to play? I believe it was the latter. BTW, absolutely loved it too. Best free game I ever played.

    @DarkStarr Would you agree with my comparison?

    I thought it was F2P but you were still capped at 50 for skills but could access all the game features now ?

    They really should give out something to those who purchased the game. It doesn't have to be amazing or super valuable. Some kind of collector item or maybe a handful of non tradeable obsidian potions.

    They did, you got a free chat orb, it costs 5 bux I think. Just think of it as paying for early access to a F2P game, with a 5$ bonus item.

    Just my thoughts, but I paid for the game to get it this far. I'm not mad it's F2P now because that means we succeeded. Those who come after us will always benefit from our sacrifices. :)

    So they could give us 25$ and reset our characters to level 50 and remove anything we've ever bought/sold on a player vendor and any property we own, pre f2p. If you bought the game 3 days before F2P, then I feel for you, I bought it 2 months before and I'm cool.

    Your purchase included premium currency and a potion only purchasable with premium currency. Free players do not receive those items.

    its kinda crappy.. I know someone that bought the game a week before it went f2p.. they feel cheated. Getting a few cotos and a potion doesn't feel like it was worth them spending 40$

    If it helps, it will cost them less $ to upgrade to next level bundle, and get access to Ep2. Possibly $1? (That's the assumption that they paid $39 for game access. $40 for starter bundle)

    If they bought the game a week before it went F2P than they already have access to Ep 2. F2P players will not.

    If you buy a game the day before it goes on steam sale for 50% off do you ask them to refund your money or for extra things, If you buy a tv at the store and the next day its price is reduced are you entitled to more. What is wrong with the world today?
