Hey, reading about some of the updates (sorry, im a noob) and i want to know, are they free? They seem similar to expansions, but since they are updates i assume they are free. If they are free, where and at what level can you start them?
I read it 3 times and I don't understand what you are asking. Right now, the entire game up to Sentinel's Fate is "free". You can buy the Age of Discovery expansion and receive several features including the Beastlord class. You can buy the Chains of Eternity expansion and receive level 90-95 dungeons, raids, zones, quests, and so forth. The weekly bug fixes/updates are free.
That's what Feldon meant when he said "You can buy the Chains of Eternity expansion and receive level 90-95 dungeons, raids, zones, quests, and so forth." CoE gives you DoF thru Drunder and Skyshrine GU's into CoE itself now. However only up to Sentinels Fate is still F2P without buying anything.
