Free to try.

But: Every weeks there are two more free species to hunt above the White Tail, European Rabbit and the Pheasant.
Basically, you have everything to hunt anything excepting the Bison. The .243 rifle is good against smaller deers, foxes, wolf, coyote, bobcat, ibex, goats and sheeps. Everything else can be hunt with the free single shot shotgun by using different shell types.

There are competitions for non members where they can earn em$(ingame premium currency) and they can use that to buy weapons, licenses, callers, clothing etc. Honestly, you dont need or have to spend a single cent to play through this game even for years long.

Memberships are not too expensives. There are some fair deals like the Deer Hunter membership, that gives everything that you need for deer hunting and you can use all things even after your membership is expired. I know, above the .243 and the basic shotgun ammunition, nothing is replenishing for free. But there are still missions that gives gm$(normal ingame currency) that the players can use for buying ammo, equipment and even licenses. Also, there are events, where everyone can win cool prizes without memberships. So, its free to play too. I personally have many friends in this game who does not have membership or earn that by doing competitions and missions.

I think, most people who first visit theHunter, are waiting for some easy, arcadish hunting. But this game is far away from easy and arcadish.

There are multiplayer servers from all across the World, where non members can play and learn. Most of us gladly helps any newbies if that people have the very minimum ability to learn the basics. And that is free, just have to ask for it.

theHunter Classic is a good game, if you can accept the fact, this is most likely a simulator and not a simple shooter.

If you dont fear to try out, ask for help on servers, add an email adress or change it in the launcher-account settings(you will get 3 days Journeyman membership and some cool stuffs.) Also, if you're using the Friend referal system for registering, you will get 200em$ for start and some other things. So, you can play the game as member, with the ability to hunt everything(excepting the Bison).

And a tip: if you're planning to spend some money(but not gazillions) on the game, get one .300 bolt action rifle(any) and the Boone & Crockett clothing set. You can get it for normal price or you can get it discounted time to time, but you dont have to pay more than ~10€ while you will be able to hunt everything later with the best camouflage against all deers. Callers are not really needed basically, you have your tracing skill and the Huntermate for help.

I am not defending EW or Avalanche, this is the only game that they was able to release as a playable and enjoyable game.

Try out, its free. Play with friends!
