Not sure what to think of this. At least we get all of the DLC... Just curious what is considered a DLC.

Hey, actually, it's great that RL is going to be free to play because that means that this game will be popular for more time. I want to advise you something if you are a newbie. First of all, I want to advise you to watch some videos on Youtube about this game in order to be able to understand how does this game works. Also, I advise you to use special sites for buying items because the prices there are usually cheaper. Personally, I found out this site for buying items for RL, I've never had any issues with payment, it's easy to use so don't worry about it.
