Ever, Jane Gets F2P Open Beta

"Hey Mike, I found the next game for our community stream."

Remember Ever, Jane, the Jane Austen-inspired MMO? When we last reported on the game nearly three years ago, it was going to be a paid game with a semi-F2P option where you'd have to work your way up from the peasantry to continue playing. MMOs.com reports that the game is now in a free-to-play open beta with a cash shop where you can buy the most outstanding outfits for your early 19th century socialite.

According to an interview with the game's creator from December, Ever, Jane will still include a tiered subscription model that will be implemented after open beta -- the game is scheduled for a full launch in 2017 -- so you might still need to shell out some cash to continue playing. That might be for the best, to prevent F2P trolls in what should be a very dignified experience. In the meantime, though, you can check out the game for yourself.
