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.
