Pre-Free account, help me orient myself

[Beerina]

I quit my old-school, normal, paying account around the time this new free play thing came live.

I came back and noticed I could pick 4 of my chars to play if I wanted to remain free. So far so good.

But I can't access Gianthold without "buying" it. I note several of my regular dungeon hubs are like this now. So far so good.

Does regular monthly fee still exist, and does it get you everything you used to have? What are the options now?

Not interested in how someone who's never played sees the options. I can read that already. I want to know them from a former subscriber viewpoint.

you have 3 options:
-farm tp to buy the adventure packs like gh and vale and such to access them
-buy tp for real money to buy the adventure packs like gh and vale and such to access them
-get a subscription, become a vip and play like you were used to it with access to everything
