Ehhmmm... thanks?! You can earn scrolls by leveling. Scrolls can be used to unlock expansions for a limited time.

So the answer is no, you have to buy it to play the full version.

It's 4€ (100 free coins + 400) to buy the base game.
If you can't afford 4€, you should really consider to sell your PC.

If you think it's a good idea to throw 4€ into an incomplete, buggy, poorly-managed version of a game you already have access to a better version of, you probably won't have 4€ to spare when the next cash-grab rolls in. Or when a legitimately worthwhile product with the same pricetag shows up. People don't sustain a stable financial situation by throwing good money at bad products just because it's not very expensive.

The game is still sitting at less than 50% positive reviews, and the frequent game-breaking bugs as well as a bad pricing model are key points in many negative reviews.

The game advertises itself as "free to play" but does nothing to live up to the expectations that label comes with. It also doesn't have an early access label, but its reviews clearly don't reflect the quality of a release-ready title, and many of the negative reviews are citing issues that persisted throughout beta testing and into release.

i think those of us the Beta tested this software sould get rewarded with coins

so what happens when you've reached level 20 and used all 15 of your scrolls on limited timed games.

You have to wait until they raise the level cap. Quite stupid to lure people in with "free to play" but then using such a poorly implemented "freemium" model.
