Free Edition is a new way to play and pay for the Eternal Crusade. The free version of the game was previously known as Free to WAAAGH! but the limitations of one class of one faction did not provide value to neither paying or free players, so we changed the design.
It is not changing the game to Free-to-Play, it is providing a version of the game that can be upgraded to the Premium versions when you want. The store, what is sold for Rogue Trader Credits, and the not being Pay to Win is still the case.
The difference between Free and premium versions.
Only 1 of 5 classes is locked and progression is at normal speed in the free version.
You can play all factions.
The premium version has everything unlocked and progression is 3 times faster. As a free player, you bank the progression difference. Your banked progression will be unleashed when you upgrade.
Purchasing a total of 20,000 Rogue Trader credits will upgrade your account, or buying one of the premium packages.
Referral and Campaign RTC does not count towards the upgrade to premium. It must be purchased for now.
Referral system will be changed to adapt to the new system, so it is currently deactivated as it is exploitable.

Do you know when the referral system will work again?
I have a few friends who would like to try out the game, and it would be nice if I could give my referral to them ^^
It would be ok if said referral didn't work until they brought the game though, so it can't be exploited (using 20€ to get 4€ worth of RTC is a rather bad deal).
That's exactly the problem. Our partner that handles the referral system can't detect via Steam when there is a purchase. So we'll get back but we probably need to create a new one in our systems. The referral program is fantastic so it's not going to disappear. When? Not sure.
Good to know.
I think it best thing would be for you and the new one to receive the Rewards when the new player got to a set Rank.
If I refer someone to the game, can we then receive the rewards at a later point in time?
When you fix squadron and imperium edition? F2P is realesed but it's still not work. I mean i'm can't buy this packs.
I bought the game at Humble Bundle when it was Steam Early Access. I played along for maybe 3 weeks and then this updates happens and makes me a Free2Play, what can I do? It does count buying the game on the Humble Bundle like the Premium Edition, because I don't have any privilegy, instead, I'm forced to play like a Free2Play when I paid bucks for this game.
I would thank whoever that could find a solution for my problem...
I created a ticket for you Mastermind, we'll get you sorted. You are not supposed to have the free version.
Ps. Deleted the same comment on another article to prevent duplicates in the system ;)
Many thanks, now it works as back then, many many thanks.
You're the best Customer Service I've ever experienced 10/10
Again, thanks.
I am currently having the same situation that Mastermind had, could I get some assistance with that?
