A massively multiplayer online game from Taiwanese developer Runewaker Entertainment, has raised the bar for free-to-play MMOs; at least, that's what the game's press release states. Growing up, my father always said, "If it's free, it's probably for a good reason." However, while Runes of Magic isn't without its flaws, it proves that sometimes the good things in life are free.
While Runes of Magic allows the obsessive consumer in all of us to use real-money transaction to purchase virtual gear, the game never forces you to buy anything. Since you can grab a wide variety of loot through pure grinding, the game is completely enjoyable if you don't want to spend any money. In addition, most of the gear sold through microtransactions merely provides cosmetic enhancements.
