Bounty Bay Online News - New Free-to-Play Server

Posted by Keith Cross on Apr 24, 2008  | 2 comments in our forums

Frogster Interactive has announced the launch of a new server for Bounty Bay Online which supports a Free to Play business model.

German publisher Frogster Interactive has just launched a free2play Bounty Bay Online server. This new alternative to the existing subscription based server will allow players to join the nautical MMOG free of charge. The game client is free to download at http://bountybayonline.com.

The new free2play server called “Mary Read” features an integrated online shop where players can buy precious ingame items such as potions, figureheads, treasure maps or level boosts. Depending on their value, the price of these items range from 3 cents upwards. The new server model for Bounty Bay Online allows players with limited playing time to achieve more - in less time. Frogster has thoroughly revamped the website to better serve the players. The website has been restructured to be more clear and easier to navigate and now includes new features such the new items shop.

The new free2play server will not affect the established subscription server. All current subscribers will be able to access Bounty Bay Online the way they are used to. Yusho will be providing regular updates for both servers and the support team will be expanded, thus raising the service standards for both servers. An FAQ for the new free2play server is available on http://www.bountybayonline.com/FAQEn.

Not free to play. Items have been removed and can only be obtained by buying them for RL cash in the online shop. Some of these items are required for quests so, if you want to progress, you have to pay.

This brings it back to those who can afford to buy stuff from the shop obtain more power, those who can't afford it get left behind. You can only progress so far before you have to start paying for things.
