<em><a href="http://www.roseonlinegame.com/">ROSE Online</a></em>, the fantasy MMO from <a href="http://company.mmosite.com/triggersoft/index.shtml">TriggerSoft</a>, has just announced its new plans to switch over to a free-to-play business model. Previously, the game was $11.99 a month for several years, and while successful within the <a href="http://www.gravity.co.kr/eng/index.asp">Gravity Interactive</a> family of games, this new plan hopes to attract even more users.<br /><br />This changeover will take place on July 29th. On July 22nd, they will be removing the subscription page from the <em>ROSE Online</em> website. Any paid subscriptions that are set to expire after the 29th will be credited 40 mileage points per day from that point. You can read more about the details of this plan and player reaction at the <a href="http://www.roseonlinegame.com/forum/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=66278&amp;start=1"><em>ROSE Online</em> forums</a>.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/07/15/rose-online-goes-free-to-play/">ROSE Online goes free-to-play</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Tue, 15 Jul 2008 11:00:00 EST.
