Ever, Jane Gets F2P Open Beta
"Hey Mike, I found the next game for our community stream."
Remember Ever, Jane, the Jane Austen-inspired MMO? When we last reported on the game nearly three years ago, it was going to be a paid game with a semi-F2P option where you'd have to work your way up from the peasantry to continue playing. MMOs.com reports that the game is now in a free-to-play open beta with a cash shop where you can buy the most outstanding outfits for your early 19th century socialite.
According to an interview with the game's creator from December, Ever, Jane will still include a tiered subscription model that will be implemented after open beta -- the game is scheduled for a full launch in 2017 -- so you might still need to shell out some cash to continue playing. That might be for the best, to prevent F2P trolls in what should be a very dignified experience. In the meantime, though, you can check out the game for yourself.

Module 30 is inbound and Modules 31 and 32 are "in the pipeline".
They aren't giving up on early access development, but this can't be good in the long-term for the title.
Some rewards are in the original EverQuest, too.
That includes weapon ranking.
Keep up the good work letting the community know of new games no matter the style. I'm still looking for a shitty 2d game similar to what graal2001 was back in the day.
Jokes aside, I tried this game today and....no words. It doesn't even look like a beta version of a game. It's like, in a very very early state. It's clunky and ugly, has many glitches etc.
