I like Gods & Heroes, in fact it was the game the spurred on the “Why Aren’t You Playing” editorial series I’ve been neglecting. Despite how I feel about the game, Heatwave Interactive met with a rather low reception since launch last year, and mentioned in July that the developer was considering a free to play option at some unknown point in the future.
Well January 2012 is that unknown point. In a post today, Heatwave Interactive announced the end to Gods & Heroes subscriptions. Until the full free to play launches, subscription fees are being removed.
The Gods & Heroes team has been working hard over the past few months to secure the future of the game by taking it to a free-to-play model. Such a change is a significant undertaking; one that requires a large investment in time and resources to make this major transition a success. In the interim, we have made the decision to eliminate subscription fees and offer G&H players immediate and unlimited access to all areas of the game until the new Free-to-Play model has been finalized and implemented.
You will still need to buy the client, however, and Heatwave Interactive will be bringing the price down starting next week to $9.99.
