Earlier this year, the game became free-to-play until level 15. This fall, players will be able to play any storyline up to level 50 for free. To access higher-level game content and other new features that the company plans to implement, you'll have to either pay for a subscription or buy things individually.

I don't think anyone didn't see this coming. Wish I hadn't spent the initial 60 bucks on it.

The question for me is, what is the max level you need to be to complete the main storyline?

Yeah I even dropped 90 on the deluxe for this game.

Hated it within about a month as my server was pretty dead and I could never find anyone to group with.

Never picked it up again once my initial 30 days ran out.

Might give it a shot again, but GW2 will be getting most of my time.
