Review of the Week

This week's review is on Guild Wars by spextacular. Here are a couple of excerpts from the review, "If you don't find a party of real people, NPCs that are actually strong and helpful can join your party and you can quest out in dungeons and zones to beat many monsters and accomplish quests! The fast-paced action is amazing! Killing is fast and efficient, but strategy is needed at a point! Also, your hit points and mana points are restored gradually even when fighting! No need for potions to restore that! They restore on their own!" and "There are Guild vs. Guild, Player vs. Player and even dungeon instances! You can access these instances at anytime. There is PvP even at level 1! You can also choose to make a PvP-Only Character or a Role Playing one!"

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.
