Free Online RPGs – The trend of free.
IP : USD $49.99
PTP(Optional) : USD $9.99
The rise of free online rpgs is great. I personally love any rpg elements that games have build into them. And of course free is very compelling when it comes to games online.
A recent article outlining upcoming game Fury shows a great model for implementing free game play. “Essentially the game will be free to play with regular free content updates. However, there is also an option to subscribe which offers additional benefits and choice.”
This seems to follow the model of a lot of free online games. Free base play is included, and then a subscription for extra content. The subscription fee after the first month will be USD 9.95.
Tony Hilliam, Auran CEO, explains, “FURY is a game that blends elements from different genres; the pace and adrenaline rush from FPS games; the depth of character customization from RPGs; and the social and virtual economy aspects from MMOs”
Fury is currently in Beta. The game will be released in Q4 2007.
