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 RuneScape by komgred. Here are a couple of excerpts from the review, "Sure the graphics may not be as super as AoC but you have to take into consideration that it is browser-based and made in Java. Since the launching of the HD version of RS, the visuals are simply amazing." and "I absolutely love PvP in RS, it constantly makes you think all the time. You need to change weapons at the right time and quickly activate the right prayer to reduce some damage. This is a warning, pking is addictive in this game. Quests are not your traditional 'kill/collect x amount' quests. The quests in RS provide an actual story and some resemble famous stories in books."

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.
