- Zero Subscription Fees: Pay once and play forever. All server access, future content patches, seasonal sky festivals, and community tree milestones are completely free.
- Microtransactions Policy: Qloud Games has confirmed that all microtransactions are strictly non-pay-to-win, consisting solely of optional aesthetic clothing styles, pet bandanas, and decorative furniture sets.
