Here are a couple of excerpts from the review, "Once you get started, you will instantly find yourself immersed in a lush rich virtual world. Stunning graphics and scenery which can be adjusted to optimize your game play and run on even the oldest computers. Quests are aplenty with in-game tips, clues, and narrative to guide you on your way." and "The majority of the quests are instanced based allowing deeper story lines, more complex scenarios, and a different experience each time you run the quest. Along with the standard mobs to kill, you will find puzzles, traps, hidden passages and rooms, mazes, and more in your dungeons."

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.
