    Not all do, I believe Anarchy lets you download an enormous demo, and the game I'm currently in, Rubies of Eventide lets you download the game for free as well. While RoE doesn't have the exposure that SWG or Evercrack has in a store, I think it has a higher IQ level in game b/c of it being a smaller community.

    Of course, there are other options. Rubies of Eventide is a MMORPG that distributes the game software for free. You pay $15/month (or $120 yearly, if you want) to play and get all updates, expansions, etc for free. Basically, they've applied the cable-tv business model to their game, and it works.

    I refused to play Evercrack and the like for exactly the reasons in the article (buying the game then paying $whatever a month for the priviledge of playing it). With Rubies, you're simply paying the monthly fee for server time. Heck, they even throw in a 10 day free trial.

    The gameplay and community are really good, too. It feels a lot like a MUD with a pretty graphics frontend. GM support is on-server 24/7 for the primary, and pretty much any player will pipe up with help if they know the answer.

    (Disclaimer: Yeah, this sounds like an ad. I'm just a player that's happy he's found a game that cares. But, if you decide to play, please put "Seeker" in the referral entry on the signup form. :)

  5. I am an indie developer by mao+che+minh · · Score: 5, Funny · on Indie Games - Fast, Cheap and Everywhere

    A good Indie MMOG: Rubies Of Eventide. I have only heard good things about Rubies'.

    Personally, I have an Indie game of my own invention. Although it doesn't take much thought, it does demand agility when using both a mouse and a keyboard with one hand at the same time. It's basic premise has to do with three open browser windows, the web site images.google.com, the text strings "angelina jolie" - "salma hayek" - "britney spears", a scroll mouse, and a big wad of tissue.

    My girlfriend is not very fond of the game, and adamantly refuses to play along with me. I even offerred to let her use the joy stick instead of the keyboard.
