Trials of Ascension gives pay model details... sort of
Trials of Ascension has announced some -- but not all -- of the details of its pay model, which will be primarily buy-to-play with an optional subscription. In a new post, Forged Chaos outlines some of the preliminary details of its pay model, although the developer allows for enough wiggle room in case of changed minds. As it stands, Trials of Ascension will be playable as a one-time purchase, although adding on a monthly subscription (30 days of which is included in the box) opens up more races, the discovery of innovations, and the ability to be a lord, lady, king, or queen. The team is also "considering" a skill cap for non-subbers. A loyalty program will reward faithful subscribers with fun goodies like a treasure map and t-shirt. There will be other ways for you to spend some dough in Trials of Ascension, including purchasing Writs of Time, acquiring permanent race access, and making a custom crest.

Trials of Ascension launches Kickstarter
Although originally announced to start on October 21st, Trials of Ascension's Kickstarter was delayed a couple of days, and finally launched today. Now that its hat is thrown into the crowdfunding ring, ToA hopes to garner enough player support to bring this sandbox with a skill system, dynamic spawning, and multi-step crafting to fruition. If you want to get a quick glimpse of the world and hear the game's philosophy straight from the dev's mouth, the campaign page offers a video clip along with a look at the various backer reward packs available.
