While Hi-Rez is hard at work at Tribes Ascend, they haven’t forgotten about Global Agenda either. Have you?
If you have, maybe you’ll be happy to know that the MMO shooter will go free-to-play through a mid-April ‘Free Agent’ 1.4 update. The update adds a ‘Dome Defense Raid’ for high-level content, a Capture The Flag styled Mercenary PvP mode with pilotable robots (!), revised skill-trees and some other changes.
Although you’ll be able to play for free with no level restriction and access to all playable content, you can also pay a one-time fee ($19.99/£13,99/€15,99) to get double XP earnings, credits and tokens, as well as access to things like the Auction House and in-game mail. Really not a bad deal if you ask me, and free-to-play has done wonders to MMOs like Lord of the Rings Online before.
Check below for a full description of the free-to-play and paid user differences.
