TRION WORLDS HAS ANNOUNCED THAT
END OF NATIONS™ WILL BE A FREE-TO-PLAY GAME.
Every End of Nations player will have full access to all the heart-stopping action-packed strategic warfare that the game offers, including massive scale battles of over 50 players, a huge persistent world, and customization options to make every army and unit unique. Gamers can play in the solo campaign, in co-op mode with up to 50 other players, and in “Conquer the World” multiplayer in giant conflicts of up to 26 vs. 26 for global control of the massive persistent world. There’s no time limit on access, and all players can play for free.
End of Nations is being developed with strategy gurus Petroglyph Games, the creative minds behind the original Command & Conquer.
For more details about End of Nations, our free-to-play model, the optional subscription, as well as the limited Collector’s Edition, please visit our extended FAQ page.
Why does the free-to-play model make sense for End of Nations?
For a premium strategy game like End of Nations, we really wanted to
bring as many players as possible into its massive-scale strategic warfare. And
the more we looked at the enormous battles and huge persistent world, we
realized that the success of End of Nations would be driven by having thousands
of players from around the globe battling daily in the world’s biggest strategy
game.
Is End of Nations going to be
pay-to-win?
No. Core to the design of any successful strategy game is that all players are
on a level playing field. It will not be possible for players to buy their way
to success, where the player with the most money will win. End of Nations
favors strategy and skill.
What does a free player get?
Free players get access to the entire game. The campaign, the 50+ person co-op,
the “Conquer the World” metagame, the huge 52-player head-to-head multiplayer,
everything.
Why are you offering a subscription?
The optional subscription is just a way to offer the best value to our most
committed players. End of Nations can be enjoyed entirely without the
subscription, but subscribers will get a significant amount of value and
convenience extras for their monthly fee. The optional subscription is all
about value, but not about gameplay advantage.
Will free players be level capped?
No, the free player will not be level capped or restricted from advancing and improving
their units and armies.
What sorts of things will you be selling in the in-game store?
The in-game store will offer a wide selection of items, including customization
and convenience items. We will not be selling pay-to-win items that give one
player a significant gameplay advantage over another. Most items in the store
will be purchasable with either End of Nations Wealth (currency earned in-game
by playing) or with Trion Credits (purchased currency).
Will I need real money to play? Will I need a credit card to play?
End of Nations is truly free to play—so no money or credit card is
needed to play or succeed. Most items in the store will be purchasable with
either End of Nations Wealth (currency earned in-game by playing) or with Trion
Credits (purchased currency).
Will there be a retail box? Will
there be a Collector’s Edition?
There will be a Collector’s Edition for End of Nations available at
retail. Expect it to be packed with a cool selection of both physical and
digital extras! The Collector’s Edition will be the only “box” at retail,
although we will also have End of Nations prepaid cards. We will also
offer a digital version of the Collector’s Edition, with just the digital
extras.
