Are we buying?

I went to the Salem website on paradox and one of the tabs was 'Buy'
which confused me because i though Salem was a free to play. Anyone know anything?
If you do need to buy it when its released will Beta testers get it for free?

It's free-to-play but you will likely be able to buy in-game stuff for an edge, such as silver coins perhaps.

That "edge" is debatable. From what the devs have mentioned, you'll probably get a head start, but you'll not be able to just plow through everyone by spending money in the store. There's a few debates on this, so I'm not going to rehash it all here. Most of it is in the beta forums, so you might need to wait (for open beta) to read up on it there.
