The Store

Two things are sold, and the game needs neither

Everything above is free. These two are for players who want more room than a free account holds, or a world that keeps running when they log off.

Keeper

A one-time payment for the whole account. You get twice the bank, five characters, four friends in your world, and the Warden's tools.

Become a Keeper
A realm

An always-on world of your own, paid month by month. You name it and set its rules, and it keeps running while you are away.

Raise a realm

Neither is a subscription to the game. See the whole store or browse the realms already out there.
