Vogster Entertainment has announced a number of changes and additions coming to CrimeCraft in the near future. One major switch the game will see is the shift to a Free-to-Play business model, which will commence sometime before the end of October.

Two subscription model plans will still be available, a Standard Subscription available for $4.99/month and a Premium Subscription for $9.99/month. Details on the two subscription models are scant, but the press release describes the "major differences" as: "the extent of customization, skill slots, speed of experience gain and inventory capacity. Standard and Premium subscription features will also be showcased behind “velvet rope” areas to allow players to make a fully-informed subscription decision."

Vogster is also introducing the "Original Gangsters" program which will reward all customers who purchase the game between launch and the conversion to the free-to-play model later this month with a third month of Premium Subscription free of charge, an "Original Gangster" tag and icon, and priority access to future content.

As a result of the upcoming changes, the retail boxed copy of CrimeCraft available at BestBuy and FutureShop will now come with three months of Premium Subscription time, 100 gold bars, exclusive Marc Ecko and Atticus Clothing in-game items, a discount card for in game purchases, and a combat backpack which increases inventory space.
