This looks good, sort of WoW for the space age future fantasy lovers. They claim to be all about team conquest and setting up bases etc.

The paid part is if you want to participate in their Conquest team, I suppose what I'd guess raiding is like in WoW.

Some pretty footage on their site.

I've played around with this a little and it's definitely fun, but it's nothing like WoW.  It borrows heavily from Teamfortress 2 (ok, it completely rips it off) with RPG advancement elements thrown in in the form of skill and equipment unlocks.
There are 3 game modes:

PvE: Like instances in WoW, I guess, but much less interesting. Very repetitive and only really there to farm materials for crafting, although you can get some decent XP by grinding them with a decent team.  By default though you get teamed with 3 random people who are also looking for a PvE mission.

PvP: This is basically TF2, there are 5/6 game types with 10v10 matches.  XP is awarded based on your performance and whether your team wins or not.

AvA: This is the subscriber-only conquest mode.  Alliances (made up of agencies, GA's equivalent of guilds) fight for control of territory on a persistent world.  Territory allows harvesting rare materials and building equipment like mechs.

Unlike TF2 there are only 4 classes but the utility of these changes depending on how they are specced:

Assault (Heavy/Soldier/Demoman): Gets a choice of big guns and tanking/DPS skills.

Recon: (Scout/Sniper/Spy): Gets access to sniper rifle, cloak, bombs and improved melee skills.

Medic: Can play as healer with healing guns and healing AoEs or poison with big AoE dots.

Robotics: Builds gun/rocket turrets, health/power/sensor boosting stations, AI controlled drones.

So you have to pay for the game and then extra to get the full game (conquest)? :eyebrow:

Pretty much. A loose analogy would be if WoW were free and you paid the subscription if you wanted to raid, but could do everything else regardless.

You get the first month of Conquest free as you do with all these games.
