A Free MMORPG is a MMORPG without a recurring subscription fee. Free MMORPGs are a little harder to find than Free Online RPGs because nearly all MMORPGs charge monthly subscription fees. However, Free MMORPGs are becoming more abundant as stellar games like Guild Wars champion this emerging niche. Since there are no subscription fees these games usually find other ways to make money such as offering in-game advertising, selling via retail only, offering premium accounts at a fee, or charging for in-game items.
