Massively is reporting that CrimeCraft will be switching to a free to play model (they call it an 'unlimited trial') with optional premium subscriptions. The subscriptions will be either $4.99 or $9.99 a month, and offer faster XP gain, better customization, and more skill options. Existing players will receive a special title, an extra month of the $9.99 subscription, and to-be-announced bonus content.
I'm sure this is a huge shock that no one saw coming. /sarcasm.
