    With KAG going into beta, it may not be long at all until the KAG game devs decide to make us all pay for the game. I'm a little worried at this prospect, because my parents don't want me to spend money online :(
     
  2. i'ma buy it in the near future...but i think it will always be free for anyone to play :)

    Yeah, from what I've read they will leave free KAG as it is. Premium (gold) KAG will be updated with a whole new engine and gameplay stuff and classic KAG will stay unupdated and free for anyone.

    Uhm, yes it is. Geti has made it very clear that KAG Classic will always be free. The premium features obviously cost money. Why don't you show me where the devs said it's not gonna be free2play anymore?

    To quote Geti (one of the devs) from this thread;

    That was a thread started by some random individual who played the game. Not the developers. EDIT: Also, from what I understand from one of MM's posts, it was made by a community member who wanted gold servers before gold servers were even a thing.(END EDIT) I can't find the particular thread in question, but the quote I pulled out was from no longer than two weeks ago, whereas yours was twelve months ago.

    Please, rumors fly far around these parts. Don't go making assumptions and present them to the public unless you're SURE they're true.

    KAG will more than likely be free to play but to have more fun and more perks premium is the way to go!

    So basically, a while after the Scripting update, the entire KAG Classic will become F2P? (including Zombie Fortress)
    Sweet. Though it's not like Premiums get much more at the moment (kegs, lanterns, light, hats, zombies.. what else?), it's nice to give the Free players a bit more when the Premiums get a while new scripting EXE to work with.

    No, as far as I understand ZF is still pKAG. When I'm talking about cKAG, I'm referring to what f2p people have already. They're able to play on CTF/RTDM servers, but not gold servers.

    This just implies that everything in the Classic EXE (ie: Zombie Fortress, WAR, kegs, etc.) will also be released for free.
    That's why I came to the conclusion I did.

    But since when was Zombie Fortress ever considered classic? KAG classic is and always has referred to normal vanilla CTF and RTDM.

    I'm fairly certain that all current premium content in classic KAG will be availiable without purchase once pKAG is officially out.

    Kegs, zombies and water isn't classic and you all know it, Geti will say this sooner or later.

    I thought the term classic only started knocking about after news of the new engine came about? Until then I was under the impression it just got called free or vanilla or whatever, probably talking out my arse though. Hope the gold-classic or whatever the fuck it is stuff does come out for free after release of the new game though.

    The way I've seen it, the two EXEs are referred as "KAG Classic" (The current one we're all using, the ENTIRE EXE) and "KAG Full" (Though more commonly called "The Scripting Build") What I don't get is why would Geti say that he was "planning on releasing all of Classic for free" if it only counts for the parts already released? The sentence becomes redundant, basically "Oh here, have this thing you already have."
