It's going to be free, but if you are a "premium" user, you get benefits. That is only what I assume though, because it works for their other game - Global Agenda.

yes but server priority and other B$ if you pay premium tells me that *free* play ain't gonna be much fun. Treating those that play for free like shit ain't a good business model, at least from my experience with games that treated me like that. I never felt compelled to pay for premium. On the other hand, excellent free experience did made me go that extra mile and pay premium for some goodies, but that never gave me advantage over those that play for free and thus, player base was always high and gaming was fair.
