# Free to Play ### **Free-to-Play** Free-to-Play is a new concept initiated by Thetan Arena since the first version. We find that the players must invest a certain amount of money in playing the game is unreasonable and prevents many traditional players from playing NFT games. In an e-sport game, the more players, the better the battle. Pay to Play limits the expansion of Thetan Arena in the future. ‌That's why we decided to build a Free-to-Play model, and players don't need any investment to play the game. ### **Free-To-Play in Thetan Arena** The new beginners will be given a normal hero to play and can be used to earn native in-game tokens (Thetan Coin). When you play to a certain rank, you will get the 2nd and 3rd heroes. You can make enough tokens to open new premium heroes on Thetan Marketplace with these three free heroes. ### **Free Heroes vs. Premium Heroes** * The free hero offers less opportunities for earning tokens compared to the premium hero * You cannot buy, sell or trade a free hero * Free Hero cannot participate in Special Events * Free Hero cannot Evolve to Thetan Hero * **Free Hero cannot be traded on the marketplace** --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
