http://media.edge-online.com/wp-cont...ll-610x381.jpgTrion Worlds has announced that their MMOG will be going free-to-play as of June 12. All content within the game itself will be free to all players, including dungeons, raids, and all content updates.However, players will be able to pay for experience boosts, mounts, and other cosmetic changes. Paying a subscription fee will still be an option, giving players Patron bonuses like extra experience, inventory slots, and bonus mount speed.“Part of our philosophy is that the best items in-game are earned in-game,” says creative director Bill Fisher. “We do offer a lot in the store, but for the very best gear, you’ve got to go out and earn that yourself.”
