Saw this through Frank Klepacki's official Facebook page:

http://www.endofnations.com/en/game/free-to-play

Every End of Nations player will have full access to all the heart-stopping action-packed strategic warfare that the game offers, including massive scale battles of over 50 players, a huge persistent world, and customization options to make every army and unit unique. Gamers can play in the solo campaign, in co-op mode with up to 50 other players, and in “Conquer the World” multiplayer in giant conflicts of up to 26 vs. 26 for global control of the massive persistent world. There’s no time limit on access, and all players can play for free.

 

End of Nations is being developed with strategy gurus Petroglyph Games, the creative minds behind the original Command & Conquer.

What does a free player get?

Free players get access to the entire game. The campaign, the 50+ person co-op, the “Conquer the World” metagame, the huge 52-player head-to-head multiplayer, everything.

Will free players be level capped?

No, the free player will not be level capped or restricted from advancing and improving their units and armies.

 

What sorts of things will you be selling in the in-game store?

The in-game store will offer a wide selection of items, including customization and convenience items. We will not be selling pay-to-win items that give one player a significant gameplay advantage over another. Most items in the store will be purchasable with either End of Nations Wealth (currency earned in-game by playing) or with Trion Credits (purchased currency).

 

Will I need real money to play? Will I need a credit card to play?

End of Nations is truly free to play—so no money or credit card is needed to play or succeed. Most items in the store will be purchasable with either End of Nations Wealth (currency earned in-game by playing) or with Trion Credits (purchased currency).

 

Will there be a retail box? Will there be a Collector’s Edition?

There will be a Collector’s Edition for End of Nations available at retail. Expect it to be packed with a cool selection of both physical and digital extras! The Collector’s Edition will be the only “box” at retail, although we will also have End of Nations prepaid cards. We will also offer a digital version of the Collector’s Edition, with just the digital extras.

Maybe I'll be getting this after all

I'll be getting this AND paying for it. Because I can.

I might be getting this, if the stakes are right, and features and other content are unlimited for the free player.

 

Next time, EA had better make C&C4 a free game soon.

They say its free to play and that those that do pay won't get an advantage, I have my doubts.

 

After looking at their website its seems like C&C4... Except, less ****.

I'll give it a go if WINE can run it on Linux. If not, I'll make it work somehow.

[Doctor Destiny 41]

If it's free to play, I'll definitely get it. I might have even if I needed pay for it.

06:55 - "...the game also feels like Generals..."

Ha, I see a hybrid of C&C 3 and C&C 4

Always thought that the "World In Conflict" was pretty good RTS with awesome engine and graphics thus far.
