“Sword of the New World: Granado Espada” Now Completely Free to Play

K2 Network has announced that their award-winning MMORPG, “Sword of the New World: Granado Espada,” which was recently made available in North America, is now entirely free to play. Initially, the game was launched as free to play until you reached level 20. After that, players would have to pay a monthly subscription fee to level up beyond that. Now, however, there are no longer any restrictions content and areas to be accessed. The Cash Merchant will remain intact though, which offers rare items that can be purchased in the game with real currency. Says CEO and founder of K2 Network, Joshua Hong:

“K2 Network’s Free2play model is the heart of our business. We launched Sword of the New World as a Free2Play title – free to download, free to try, and free to play up to level 20. We are extremely excited about this title, especially with such gorgeous graphics and the ability to play up to three characters at once, but Free2Play up to level 20 just isn’t enough! At K2 Network, we put Gamers First, and thanks to the community supporting this game, we are now able to offer the same Free2Play model as all of our other titles. It’s Free2play all the way!”

Luckily, K2 has also implemented a system so this change doesn’t hurt subscribers either. Players who have already paid for an advance month will receive 1,000 Cash Shop Gold and three web unique player characters: Adelina Esperanza, Lisa Lynway, and M’boma. All of this totals to about the equivalent of $40 US. To check out more info or download the full game (which once again is %100 FREE) you can head over to the website.
