The monetization is…not very good to put it mildly. If you want to have a base (plot) you have to pay up.
Here is how it works taken from their site:

What is the price of the base game?
The Pax Dei base game includes: permanent game access, 2 character slots, and a free month of Premium Membership (1 plot) granting one month of Premium status and one Plot Token, for a cost of 29.99 €/$.
Does Pax Dei require a subscription?
No. The base game is the only thing you need to enjoy Pax Dei. The base game grants you permanent access to Pax Dei’s Core Experience:
- Full access to all gameplay systems: PvE, PvP, crafting, building, and more.
- Full access to all areas, all the Home Valleys, the PvP Province, and all the dungeons.
- Public crafting stations and storage in starting zones near the Petrae Dei.
- The ability to buy gear and consumables from other players, using Gold looted from PvE.
- The ability to join a clan and use their plots, contributing to a shared village or an ambitious city.
- Access to high-tier crafting materials and rare loot through PvP.
- This is the whole game, not a demo or trial.
The base game also includes a free month of Premium Membership (1 Plot), allowing you to try out these additional benefits (see below).
What is a Premium Membership?
For players looking to claim and manage their own land, host friends, or dive deep into advanced crafting and trading, a subscription offers added depth.
By subscribing to a Membership plan, you will receive monthly:
1 month of Premium status, activated on the day you activate your subscription, which grants you the following bonuses:[Unsupported inline type: unordered-list]
Plus, if you opt for a Membership with one or more plots:
1, 2, or 4 Plot Tokens (depending on the subscription plan you choose).[Unsupported inline type: unordered-list]
What are the prices for the Premium Memberships?
- Premium Status (no plot): 3.99 $/€ per month
- Premium + 1 plot: 6.99 $/€ per month
- Premium + 2 plots: 10.99 $/€ per month
- Premium + 4 plots: 18.99 $/€ per month
So if you like to have a base (you need a plot) it will set you back at least 6.99 $/€ per month for one tiny plot. 1 plot should have been included in the base game! At least they could have finished the game first, because it still feels like a Early Access game. Try it out and decide for yourself 🙂
