I've been playing MMO games for awhile now. What I've noticed about the supposed free games is that there is always the "pay for" option. Either special weapons or more levels or some other form of gimmick that gives a benefit to "pay2play"ers. If you're like me and are just looking for a free, legit, no-perks-to-pay game than why not try something that's been around for awhile? Ultima Online. EA Games still hosts game servers (at $35 a month) but there's an alternative. Shards (servers) hosted by the players themselves. Anyone interested can check out www.uokgames.com for links and guides on how to download the game and connect.
