It also removes all chat, mail and auction limitations: free-to-play players have limits on how often mail can be sent, and can't send gold and bound items through the system. The sub costs about £10 a month and gives you more character slots, storage space and 500 Turbine points a month to spend. If you prefer, you can still pay a monthly subscription to become a VIP player. Buying an item from the store also automatically upgrades your account to Premium, giving you more character slots on each server and increasing the limit on the amount of gold you can carry. It is possible to play through the high level areas for the story missions alone, grinding the wildlife to gain levels between each quest, but it's a miserable alternative, and if you're invested enough to reach level 20, five or six quid every now and then feels worthwhile. Once a quest pack has been purchased, the areas are available to explore at your leisure, removing the pressure to play enough each month to justify the subscription cost. While this initially seemed unfair, I came to prefer it to the traditional monthly subscription approach of most MMOs. The Lone Lands pack was cheap enough for me to buy with my hard-earned Turbine points, but later ones cost around £5-6, which can buy you enough content to raise your character by five to ten levels. These populate areas with hundreds of quests, and add dungeons to new areas, effectively unlocking high level content. The rest had to be unlocked by buying a quest pack. As I ventured into the more dangerous Lone Lands region, I found that the only quests available were the story missions. ![]() The game's generosity ran out at around level 20. ![]()
