Will there still be a free-to-play version after that?
I find it concerning that supposedly free-to-play games like Tower of Fantasy can be pre-ordered for real money; it's not a good development for the industry. While you do get pre-order bonuses, it's completely unclear how long it will take to unlock certain features for free-to-play players, especially those who missed the early access phase. And this is coming from a company that's supposed to be for children.
