F2P Guide
F2P has many similarities with GemStone III, which was also available for no additional charge when hosted on Genie, and later on services like Prodigy, AOL, etc. Gift of Lumnis was released in GemStone IV, and Roleplaying awards were only for roleplaying rather than a standard weekly feature. Official F2P documentation is lacking, and players must rely on each other as had been commonplace in the 1990s.
Various aspects of F2P have significantly deviated from official documentation, making players less willing to contribute their observations, fearful of exposing bugs. By now, most limitations (and unexpected equivalencies) of F2P are confirmed and described correctly on the main page, but as the game changes, documentation on that page by official means remains limited.
History
F2P was released at the same time as the first month being free was cancelled. This coincided with a new character being able to change their skills and stats for 30 days to an unlimited time until level 20 was reached. Therefore, Although F2P was designed to attract new players, experienced players enjoy F2P as an addition or stand alone aspect of the game.
Comparison to GSIII and Hardcore. Discussions on bounties and the Experience pool in relation to the F2P penalty.
Everyone now gets mana spellup, and self cast spells start at 2 hours; works out well for F2P.
OSA with the white flag resolves travelling problems.
Long-term experience. Locksmith pool (F2P access removed in 2026), Boss creatures, healing and raising.
Don't worry if you cannot spell people up. Everyone in F2P is a warrior.
Coin bags, Pelt Bags, Herb kits, and the newer Survivalist's Kits are useful.
Maybe make a table like 420 but using white, yellow, and red for F2P spells
F2P Spells (in the works)
Nothing is ever perfect
