Ok, this one doesn't match your 'no fees' criteria, but it really is an easy game to get into in short bouts, its great for puzzle solving and it runs in cycles, so it doesnt last forever... http://game1.atitd.com/main.html It's called A Tale In The Desert. From my experience with it, the game is pure community. There is no killing stuff to get ahead, there is no level grinding.
