The Spellborn Discussion Forum announces that Chronicles of Spellborn is subscription-free as of now, a change from the recently announced plan to continue the subscription version of this fantasy themed MMORPG as re-development continues on a subscription-free version for a re-launch next year. The re-development continues, but in the meantime, the game in its current form is now free. Word is:

Today, as you read this, Spellborn as it currently exists is now free to play. Keep in mind that there will be no upgrades and no patches. It has become in effect, an Action RPG with superior Multiplayer. The only thing it will cost you to play is the time it takes to download.

So play it. Tell your friends.

Now because it is frozen in time, we will be creating events for the players and we will help support any players that want to make their own events. And if you have thoughts on how we might make this version more enjoyable as we wait for the New free to play version, we are glad to listen.
