Review of the Week
Each week GameOgre.com chooses a notable review by a Review Directory member. To be chosen, a review must be at least one of the following: informative, well-written, and/or entertaining. This week's review is on Shaiya by TerraChia. Here are a couple of excerpts from the review, "Quests will push you up pretty far pretty fast, but the momentum is lost quickly. What you begin to notice as you truly begin to learn the word 'grind'. This game is fun for a good while, given that you join a guild you like and enjoy grinding with them for a disgusting amount of hours. Each mode has 50 levels before you can unlock the next one." and "PVP is totally and completely overrun! What really happens is you stand at the altar, presuming to push back the enemy horde, and then they charge you. A swarm of 100+ with little red names hovering above them, looking basically like a sea of ants coming your way. And no, you won't make it, because everyone is 'nossed' on specialty items and immediately cuts you down."

What is a Free MMORPG?
A free MMORPG is a massive online game that allows you to play on an ongoing basis without having to pay a monthly subscription. However, a game needs to make money in some way in order to survive. To make money without monthly fees, different MMOs have come up with various strategies.

Anarchy Online uses in-game advertising, while Guild Wars uses retail purchases and RuneScape offers a premium version along with its extremely popular free one. A growing trend by several of Korean MMORPGs is to offer no download or subscription fee but to charge for in-game items instead. Yet another strategy is to charge for access to special areas of the game.

The good news for players is that these different strategies are allowing nice 3D MMORPGs like Sword of the New World, Rappelz, and Perfect World to be offered without monthly fees instead of having to rely solely on text-based online RPGs for free online role-playing.
