CrimeCraft goes free-to-play 'by the end of October'


Possibly in an effort to assuage the recent financial woes of publisher Vogster Entertainment, MMOFPS CrimeCraft will go free-to-play "by the end of October." According to a press release issued by the company yesterday, the game will go into an "unlimited free trial" later this month, though a two-tiered monthly subscription will now be offered -- $4.99/month or $9.99/month.

The difference between the two plans, though not explicitly detailed, will consist of "customization, skill slots, speed of experience gain and inventory capacity." Best Buy's retail exclusivity agreement with Vogster will be slightly altered as well, with consumers receiving "three months of online game time as well as access to 100 in-game gold bars and a number of exclusive in-game items." Hopefully that will make up for the less than thrilling gameplay we've heard so much about.
