So, Mortal Online, a first-person medieval sandbox has officially gone free to play as of an hour ago. The 'big' restriction you get is that your skills cannot go past 60 (and with recent and upcoming updates, that is not to bad). You only get one character, but you can purchase more.
Here is a copy-paste of the original announcement:
By "expensive items" I am assuming that they mean the new rare/named items they have been adding to the game as well as some of the more rare skill books. Maybe also siege equipment and house deeds? Which is no big deal, as a majority of the population does not bother with those. I could be wrong, however. I've played the game off and on for a long time and never bothered to get a house. And siege equipment is only needed to be handled by guild leaders/officers and engineers.
