The Free Version
Ive been trying to read around but no luck... What is their free model like? To me Rift has the perfect free Model and I have bought stuff because of this.
Whats the biggest catch here? To me its Just Bag space, Bags and Bank Slots in Rift that you need to buy rest of the game is full accessible. Same here?

✭✭✭✭✭The game is not free, you have to buy it. You just don't have to have a monthly subscription.
There is no real downside to the B2P version of the game. It is the same game with the same stuff as it was under the Subscription. However DLC and other content that will be released in the future you will have to buy to play that. The folks who maintain their subscription get the new content as long as the subscription is current.
Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

✭✭✭✭✭You buy a copy of the game, and you have access to everything without paying a subscription. No other restrictions currently, but when DLC becomes available (there isn't any yet: as far as content goes, everything is currently available to everyone), you'll either have to subscribe to use it, or buy it through their in-game crown store.
The things that you can currently buy in the crown store are cosmetic items (costumes, vanity pets) or convenience items (mounts, potions). You don't need any of it, though, and you're not restricted in the game if you don't spend any money beyond what it costs to buy the copy of the game.

✭✭✭✭✭Currently "Free"* players don't get 10% bonus XP, 10% crafting XP or 10% extra looted gold. That is the only difference.
In future, when DLC like the Dark Brotherhood quest line and new zones are released subscription players will have access to them automatically (but will lose it any time their sub runs out). Free players will have to buy each one individually but will then have access to it forever, regardless of whether they pay a sub or not.
Subscription players also get 1,500 free crowns per month, but since the subscription costs the same as just buying 1,500 crowns I don't really count that as something extra. (Although if you're likely to buy crowns every month it's probably better to sub and get the bonus XP as well.)
*As other people have noted there is no truly free version, you have to buy a copy to play. The nearest you can come is buying a cheap copy.PC EU player | She/her/hers | PAWS (Positively Against Wrip-off Stuff) - Say No to Crown Crates!
