Question Status How free is this game?
  Questioner:kaistyle2    Reward Point:0 | Answer: 34  Browse:
Is it 70% free, 50% free? I am just asking because I HATE to play games that say they are mostly free when certain things are only for payers.
i.e. if a person doen't pay, can they still get the ability to rebirth? Or, if a person doesn't pay, does that mean 90% of the game content is unavailable?
So if you don't mind, could you give me a list of what only payers get?

As for as I know, the major things you have to pay for in this game is...
1. Extra character slots.
2. Pets.
3. Special character creation cards, that give your character more options in appearance.
4. You can only rebirth by buying a rebirth card from the Cash Shop.

It will have a feature that will only be available for paying players (like ressurects from Nao and access to the main story plot) which I believe can't be trade (not 100% sure about this since I played Mabi JP).

The other cash shop items are rebirths which we all know are very important in Mabi, but if they allow gifting, then it shouldn't be a problem as you can buy it off from the paying players in game.

its is free to play but at age 25 i believe you stop gain Ap in other words you can gain more skills etc.

you then pay real world money for a rebirth card

So they got it set up your character progress it halted unless you pay

IE sence a mmo's perpose is tired to game longevity and seeing as you are forced to pay to continue to progess as a certain point
The game is not truely free

There's some paying but I don't have an exact percentage I can make on the amount you can pay. In order to get more AP when you are around age 25 (which is when you age again, you dont get anymore AP), you have to pay for a rebirth card. You also can pay certain packages to use other features and do the mainstream quests/storyline.

until age 25, it seems to be 85% free. however, at age 25, once AP stops coming in, it seems to be at about 25% free because in order to keep the game interesting, a rebirth card is needed. yes, there is the ability to keep your player even after 25, but I guess the thrill of adventure and definition of "free" ranges from player to player.

It's about as free as it gets with Nexon. It kinda sucks how the mainstream quests (the best quests >_>) require you to buy premium membership or some crap like that.

This game can be free, but there's a cash shop. The only thing I really suggest you buy is the rebirth, though.

The game is free, but then it's not.

Important things you want to consider if you don't pay are:

1) You don't get access to the main story if you don't pay for a service.

2) Your character will not get AP (skill points) from aging after age 25, and leveling will be your only means of aquiring AP (one point a level.

Characters heavily rely on AP and you won't get very far if you decide to not rebirth at all. While how capable you are is the deciding factor in fighting, you will be sorely gimped compared to others.

Its not really free, because you have to pay for rebirth and main stream once in a while.
Mainstream and rebirth are very essential to the games real feeling.
The payment is small enough for most people to afford though.

Not recommended to be played if you're not able to pay.
Seriously. You'll need to rebirth. If not you'll never be able to really progress. Basically, you'll have fun 'till you find out how much of an impact the cash shop has on the game.

If you ask me, it'll be more like 25%... >__>
If you don't pay, you'll miss out on the interesting stuff, *cough*Paladin/Dark Knight*cough* and the mainstream quests.

On The first sight it might seem 75% free but if you done the frist quest theres a huge lack of quests and of AP.
So you gotta buy rebirth and then if you want to have rly fun u gotta buy the advanced play service otherwise you canīt do the Mainsttream quests so iw would say 30% free you can at least go n grin ~.~

It's definately free to play, but rebrithing isn't free. You'll play as an old man probably. You have to pay for character cards. If you delete the chrc you have then you have to buy another character card inoder to create a new chrc (just because you deleted that one doesn't mean that you get it renewed). While creating chrcs, some hair/eyes/etc. are not available because they're premium cash shop items- so you'll have to pay for those if you want to further costumize your chrc. Pets, you also have to pay for. Special outfits will probably have to be bought- don't follow up on me, but I might have heard that to use a Paladin skill, you must pay (I don't know). Probably 45% free? If considering oncomming generations and other stuff.

I'd say about 75% free. Well you need a premium character card to start the mainstream quests (main story to Mabinogi).
