Yeah, as he said... no, not free, but you can play online for free... Certain content (such as stonehenge) is for subscribers only though. For answer three, try the demo, see if you like it. I can't say what you'll find amusing. I mean, some people (okay, some of my friends) like to brand themselves for fun. Repeatedly.
And then when the scar fades they rebrand. Just because they think that's fun, doesn't mean that you'll necessarily like it.
