1. Games like WoW
Games like World of Warcraft are very much in demand these days and game developers
have not been sleeping on the job. There are several massively multiplayer online role-
playing aka MMORPG games like WoW that are free to play. These are called WoW
clones because of their similarity to Blizzard's bestselling game.
Note that the makers of WoW have recently announced that their game is now free to
play for players under level 20. Previously there was a f2p WoW trial period of 14 days.
This has now been replaced by a level cap but it has no time limit on how long players
can enjoy the game.
Why did they change their policy? Simply because the free MMORPG model works! The
main advantage of playing these fun games that are like WoW but free is that the price is
right at $0.
Did you know that there are actually many MMORPGs that are free to play forever? For
players who want to play a great game but don't want to pay for it, here are examples of
some good World of Warcraft free alternatives:
Runes of Magic - this MMORPG is about as close to "free WoW" as you can get. It has
the same equipment grading system, the same type of auction house and mailbox, the
same names and functions of various skill types and crafting, instanced WoW-style
dungeons, and so on. In other words, it looks and plays almost exactly the same as WoW.
Of the free online MMORPG games like WoW, Runes of Magic is the most popular. It
has over 3 million registered users in the US and Europe, which tells you a lot about how
good this game is.
Talisman Online - the cheap player's WoW, Talisman Online has the same type of user
interface, looting system, mini map style, quests, and similar world design elements that
are similar to WoW. One thing is quite different though - it's free to play.
However, these free online games like WoW are not exactly the same as Blizzard's
MMORPG. If you want a game that is exactly the same then you should just play World
of Warcraft.
