There's an old saying among gamers that a game can be good and free, good and online, or free and online, but not good, free, and online. Ultima Online is good, but technically it's not free. There are private servers that are free, but the main servers cost money to play on. Maplestory is fun, but leveling is a lot of work, except that it's possible to buy levels. Like, with real money. Yeah, you can play for free, but only if you're willing to work your ass off to be on the same level as these fourteen year old l33t sk1llz dipshits who bugged their parents for money to buy that ultimate sword of slaying.
