Crimecraft content will be free, server maintenence won't be (News)

Jun 12, 2009

Destructoid writes: "Laying down real coin for MMO content updates is a bummer, regardless of what the extra stuff brings to the game. Most MMOs already have flat fees you pay for the pleasure of playing the game. Plus, there's an opportunity you could be leaving a couple of your guild brethren behind as you move on to the new hotness with the swarm of content-hungry players. Vogster Entertainment is planning to curve the hurt a bit with the price of their content updates to Crimecraft.

'We have a pretty aggressive content update schedule with new abilities, instances, clothes, weapons, items, achievements, challenges and gameplay types being released monthly free of charge,' Mike Donatelli, Vogster's senior game designer told us via e-mail.
