MMO EVE Online goes F2P

Reach the stars as EVE Online takes away the entry barrier for newcomers!

EVE Online has been in in development for a long time, it's seen it's share of space battles over the years and countless expansions but now it's making the hyperspace jump to allow players who have yet to experience it a chance to do that as it goes F2P. At the same time this marks a brand new expansion as the Ascension update also goes live, featuring brand new ships and reworked gameplay systems. CCP is pouring so much love into the game, after 14 years it's still going strong. CCP spoke a little about this new frontier for the game:

Characters now have one of two Clone states. Omega clones are similar to the currently active EVE characters, have unlimited access to skill development and fast skill training. Alpha-Clones are the new basic state of all characters and are always accessible for any character free of charge. You can train and use specific skills to fly some of the most common ships into the battle - Tech 1 Frigates, Destroyers and Cruisers. Access to trade, industry and exploration allows Alpha pilots to explore the vast mysterious universe, harvest raw materials, implement their own economic plans, and build the war machines that make the battles in EVE so famous.
