Funcom has announced that players taking advantage of Age of Conan's free to play option will now have new benefits added to help them enjoy their play time. Among other things, Funcom has unlocked all character classes for F2Pers.

• All Classes Unlocked! Free players may now try any of the games classes completely free.
• Classic Dungeons unlocked! The complete selection of classic dungeons are now unlocked for free play. This includes ALL the pre-80 dungeons and a selection of level 80 dungeons as well! Level 80 adventures in The Crow's Nest, The Iron Tower, Xibaluku, The Slaughterhouse Cellar and Attilius' Mansion are all now available for free play!
• Gold cap increased! In order to allow free players to engage more in the end game economy, in particular with the incoming new crafting system in mind, the gold cap on free accounts has been raised from 2g to 10g. 

Read the full announcement on the Age of Conan site.

AoC has 50k players or less, and is in an entirely different genre of game from Eve. Why would CCP be nervous?

 

All of the game company's deciding to go F2P.

Still need to pay for the expansion area (lvl 80 bit)...then NO

You've never paid for an expansion before?

This is good news..I might actually give it a shot !

The problem with this game, you are channeled everywhere.  I did not mind the character restrictions nor the gold, although it would have been a pain at higher levels.

I wish them luck, but I found the game less interesting to play than most of the other themepark fantasy games.

[mod edit] He is talking about the issue in which customers who paid for the expansion are asked to pay for it again in order for it to be unlocked (and only weekly and for each zone seperately). So they are taking something away from you which you have already paid for and putting it behind a paywall and that is unacceptable.

I won't be going back unless they change this and find a solution for AA.

exactly. well presented.

aside though from your points, there is the whole question of game viability in an f2p game, if the community of players is split too much. for a successful community to develop the game needs to provide as consistent an experience as is viable for both paying and nonpaying customers. there's no point in having a surge in players if the community can't play a significant segment of content together.
