I’m having fun-it’s exactly the same game I played before, the game I wanted, with no over-bearing monthly payment fee…but for some reason, I wanted to buy the Sleipnir mount, an ice horse mount that leaves a trail of cold mist in its wake.

I knew I would play TERA, so for me, the small purchase out of my bank account didn’t seem like much.

Plus, because I bought the box, I also acquired the Tawny Huntress pack, a golden lioness mount plus a large chunk of in-game currency. Buying the box would afford me “Founder” status, which bestowed more character slots, a larger bank, an electrified mare mount, and much more. To return to TERA, before the game became free-to-play, I spent 20 bucks to buy the box from Amazon, who was having a sale-the game’s box is 40 everywhere else. This week, I’m starting to play TERA Online, a once pay-to-play massively multiplayer online roleplaying game that’s gone free-to-play.įor those that don’t know what most of those terms mean: pay-to-play means you pay a monthly fee upfront to play the game for one month, usually around 10-15 dollars, typically in addition to a box price of 60 dollars massively multiplayer online roleplaying game, or MMORPG, means you play a character in a gigantic and persistent digital universe with countless other players alongside you and free-to-play means you pay nothing to play a game-all you need to do is download the product and you can play, for free, indefinitely. As someone who now works, what’s 20 dollars? I spent the money without much of a second thought. However, before I actually started playing, I spent 20 dollars on Riot Points, the currency that League of Legends’ development team, Riot, exchanges for cash which lets players buy various things in-game. A few weeks ago, I started playing League of Legends again because I finally had some free time.
