“You are so small! Is funny to me!” This article is a stub. As such, it is not complete. You can help Team Fortress Wiki by expanding it. |
“Gotta' move that gear up!” It has been proposed that " Account types " be renamed and moved to "Differences between Free and Premium accounts ".Discussion to support or oppose the move should be on this article's talk page. |
Along with the Über update release on June 23rd, 2011, Team Fortress 2 adopted the Template:W formula, offering two distinct kind of accounts of play, referred as Free and Premium.
A Free account is a copy of the game activated on a Steam account without sustain any cost whatsoever. Even with limited features, the full gameplay experience is available to this type of account. A Free account can be upgraded to a Premium one at any time by spending any amount in the Mann Co. Store, or by activating a retail copy of Team Fortress 2.[1] It's worth nothing that while the cheapest item in the Mann Co store is about $0.99 / £0.79 / 0.95€ / 92rub / R$ 4.99 / 4.10zł, the minimum amount one can put into the Steam Wallet to make a purchase is still $5.00 / £4.00 / 5.00€.
A Premium account is a copy of the game with all the features activated. All players who purchased Team Fortress 2 prior to the Über update had automatically their game upgraded to a Premium account and received a new cosmetic promotional item, the Proof of Purchase hat.
