Officially it's still that much, but they still consider the game under the "free trial period"...so it's more like that the game has a monthly fee, but it's still in it's trial period...uh, something like that.
So the game's f2p at the moment, they just reserve the right at any moment to start charging you, but since they use a crappy convoluted points system for it by default, thankfully it will probably just cancel your account the second they begin charging, rather than not warning you and just start pulling money out of a card you tag onto the account.
