    Unless anything has changed its supposed to be a game that has no box price, only a subsciption.

    With your current package you get access to all testing up until release, and a month of sub time once the game is released. Sub time is not consumed during testing.

    Hi Archohan! Your English is perfectly understandable, no worries!

    To answer your question:

    Yes, if you purchase the Alpha Two Second Wave Bundle, you will get a full copy of the game for final release. Ashes of Creation is a buy-to-play MMORPG, meaning you buy it once and then just pay a monthly subscription, similar to games like World of Warcraft.

    The 1 month of game time included is for after the official launch, to cover your first month of subscription. It’s not a "rental" or temporary access, you truly own the game after buying the bundle.

    Hope that clears it up! Let me know if you have more questions.

    Sorry if this sound patronizing but the way REHOC worded this answer is a bit confusing. The alpha you are paying for gives you access through the phase you purchase till the end of alpha. since the current change buying phase 3 access will give you the ability to play starting May 1st. That goes through the rest of alpha then you also get access in both beta 1 and beta 2. Finally ending on release you get one month of subscription since the released game itself will have no box price.

    it about gives a minimum of 1 year of testing though most are betting on 2-3 years at least. Also included in an alpha bundle is I think 15$ to the in game shop which is cosmetic only.

    To add to @lamina5432 above, you also don't buy this game first and then pay the monthly subscription.

    There is no up front purchase of the game. Once live, the subscription is the only required payment.
