NCsoft Makes Dungeon Runners Free-To-Download

NCsoft has sent word that they are making their MMORPG, Dungeon Runners, a free-to-download game. Unlike their other “free” game, Guild Wars, Dungeon Runner will make money from those who wish to progress further in the game and acquire special items that non-paying customers can’t.

Dungeon Runners, currently available strictly via free digital download, has a play-for-free tier where players can access large chunks of the game’s content, and a “membership level” for $4.99 per month where players are given, among other things, log-in queue priority and access to the most powerful items, weapons and armor. Membership status also includes bank storage for up to 220 loot items and the ability to stack potions in one slot to save room for even more loot.

Interesting model, but it might just work. NCsoft has the patience to give anything a try at least once, right?
