First, this isn't an mmorpg. It's an ORPG, which is simply "online role playing game." Now take that as you will, but there's going to be differences to this and your run-of-the-mill mmo. What are those differences? I have no idea, there's honestly a lot that could set the two types apart.

Free-to-play means the game will be free but I'm guessing that those who do choose to give some money up will see some benefits like cosmetic items, pets, and the like. Most games avoid straight up buying powerful items for advantage because that's less fun and can get you the title of "p2w."

Anyway, I hope I helped some. Can't really speak for the devs themselves, so hope I didn't overstep my grounds there.

Yeah the ORPG is what got me interested in this, I think this could be the perfect game for me. Also This is a really weird forum system, I assume they will eventually make a proper one, i would suggest using skinbox. I use some great forums using that.

Hi,

In their previous game Triglav, the "pay to win" part was really not a problem for people that only play without paying anything.
I remember i have paid my part just because i wanted to help the team.
