Among the big updates are giving every piece of content in the game away for free, new open-world player housing, and a whole expansion’s worth of new spells, zones and dungeons.
every piece of existing content—including character classes, quests, and the entire 3.0 patch—totally free for everyone. Raise your eyebrow in mild concern at the fact that some stat gear will be sold in the cash shop, alongside the usual roster of convenience and cosmetic items. Then close your jaw after discovering that there’s no subscription option, only a cash shop.
It’s a refreshingly simple system: every account has the same status, meaning free players aren’t crippled by artificial limitations on bag size, credit accumulation, or grouping, as they are in far too many MMOs.
