Yes, Aos is not going to be free In 1.0, You have to pay for it, But Is it fair to clan's and community members that cannot buy the game?
I've seen some of the suggestions such as ''Let players that's already registered on the forums get it free'' and things like that but I don't think that's going to work.
Beta Codes
At the end of the update before 1.0 we should register for a Beta code and get the game free, That way this community stay's here without paying for the game.
It's not fair to make the players that played Aos way back or even now pay for it, I mean the game is going to be cheap but still some people don't have money or their mom doesn't let them use their credit card.
So the people who register for beta codes will get it free. When 1.0 come's that's when players have to pay for it.
