Hi there all.

You may call me Violet...or Lynolis...or Lyn....or.. MASTER! (no, I kid, I kid). I'm an avid girl gamer, and not the kind of girl gamer that could APPEAR to be a dude. I am a real girl. I like girly things like True Blood and vampire Eric, 90210, shopping, having my nails done...

But what is my one and only true desire?

Free to play MMORPGs are here to stay. Some nay-sayers still
complain about the poor content and quality of service provided in F2P
games but recent releases like Runes of Magic, Perfect World and Atlantica Online
have shown the world what ‘free’ is capable of. The success of these
titles prove that the micro transaction model can work both in Asia and
here in the West. The only question that I have is why are so many free
to play titles are RPGs?

The Social Experience in MMORPGs & Free MMORPGs

It’s no secret that free to play MMORPGs have been exploding in popularity in the past few years. Once unheard of in the West, scores of free MMORPG games are now available for North American and European gamers. But while this trend has banished the dreaded monthly subscription fee, it has come at a cost. Many rightly claim that free MMORPGs have much lower quality than the traditional pay-to-play MMORPG offered by Western developers such as Electronic Arts or Blizzard.
