Free-To-Play

Overview of Free-to-Play

 * The basic game is free-to-play, with restrictions in areas such as equipment, spell quality, and communication.
 * Some of the restrictions can be eased by paying one-time fees to unlock them. These unlocking fees are paid through the in-game Marketplace, using Station Cash.
 * Other restrictions can only be removed by paying for Gold Membership.
 * Equipment unlocks and other benefits can also be purchased through the in-game Station Marketplace.

Membership Plans
There are three tiers of membership in EverQuest II.


 * Free membership. This entitles the player to create up to 2 characters, and allows them to advance up to level 90.  They are limited to Adept spells, and cannot use Legendary or Fabled equipment.
 * For a one-time purchase of 500 Station Cash, the player can upgrade to Silver Membership. This adds 2 more character slots (for a total of four), enables unlimited chat channels, and allows guild creation.  They are limited to Expert spells, and still cannot use Legendary or Fabled equipment. The broker can be used for buying but not selling without broker tokens that must be purchased from the Marketplace.
 * For a $14.99/month, the player gets Gold Membership. The Gold Membership enjoys 7 character slots, open access to the Broker, and unlimited spell and equipment tiers. Those on a recurring membership plan also receive 500 [Station Cash] per month.
