That’s our job, we play these games and review them to make it easier on you when making your decision of which free game to play, whether you like Orcs and Elves or Jedi and Sith, whether you like the more grindy Asian style MMO or martial arts Wuxia style MMO, whether a new game with its own lore or a popular franchise where you final get to play in that universe as your own unique hero. Whilst on the surface many of these online games appear to be very similar it is only when we start to look at the details and break down the features and mechanics that we begin to see the true differences. These online RPGs cover all manner of themes, worlds, franchises and genres themselves, often as not making it difficult to choose between them, especially when you can get half a dozen MMO RPGs released in the same year.
One of the biggest genres of online games is the MMORPG, going back over fifteen years since the likes of Ultima Online, through to giants of the genre such as EverQuest and World of Warcraft to some more modern classics such as Star Wars: The Old Republic and The Elder Scrolls Online.
