It wasn't too long ago that you announced AoC was going free to play at all, and here we are on launch day. How long has the team been working on this transition?Executive Producer Craig Morrison: We didn't want to have too long of a delay between the announcement and the release, mainly so that people wouldn't put off trying the game because they wanted to wait for the new offer.
These changes have been considered for some time, and it was always an option that we knew we were likely to use at some stage in the product's life cycle.In some ways, parts of this have been in motion for almost two years. Since we knew it would most likely be something we'd do eventually, we were able to lay the foundations in other systems from the start.

We've always felt that it's good development practice to be flexible in regards to business model. We also benefited from our work with Neowiz in launching the game in Korea, where we've been using elements of this business model since it launched there last year.In terms of concentrated work-the supporting systems, shop integration, and inventory-we've been working in detail since the beginning of the year so we could get everything in place for the summer.PCG: What areas are the dev team monitoring most closely for player feedback in order to make quick adjustments? Store prices, leveling speed, security issues)CM: We'll definitely be paying attention to how the new players integrate with the existing players. The game itself hasn't been altered in terms of progression for free players, so the speed of leveling should be pretty much the same. In terms of the sales through the item store, yes, we definitely pay attention there and will be monitoring players purchasing habits with interest.You always think you have a pretty good idea about what will be appealing to players, but if you learn anything from working in this genre, it's that the players can always surprise you!
So whenever you do something new like this you are watching the results closely.PCG: What are you most excited to do today?
Hello Everyone, I used to play this game three years ago, I used to run an RP guild there, I am seriously considering going back to the game and RP in the game Again, if someone interested please tell me or add me as a friend.For the people that havent played and are Wondering about the RP community, let me tell you is really really small but a lot of fun stuff can be made, even the Devs helped spawning a special boss for an RP event once, so my point its, might be a small community but the RP is good.If any RPer interested in playing the game or returnign to the game please tell me.
