I was lucky enough to be part of the beta testing for RoM, but had not really paid it much attention between the official launch and now. Runes of Magic has now been running for a little over a year, and what a year it has been. Players are allowed to play for free, but can, if they choose, pay for additional content or game improving items.ĭungeons and Dragons Online has made a great success of this metthod in the US (altough it remains monthly subscription based in the UK) and it has just recently been announced that Lord of the Rings Online will also be moving to a free-to-play pricing model, both in the US and Europe.īut, right here and now, it is time for me to discuss my experience in Taborea. This line between the two has recently become more and more blurred, as new premium quality MMOs hit the market using the microtransaction method of funding themselves.

Of course, there have been free MMOs around for a long time, but there has always been a very obvious distinction between the free ones and the premium ones.


For this reason, I am taking a look at the free-to-play MMOs that are cropping up. So, for this reason, paying a monthly fee for an MMO just seems pointless, especially if I only have time to play for a couple of hours in a given month. As I mentioned before in my musings on Allods Online, time is not my friend and dedicating myself to a single MMO that I can spend hours and hours playing is just not possible.
