Hey

Was browsing around some random website and came across an MMPORPG [or whatever the hell you call it]. Since it was free I gave it a go and I must say I am rather surprised at how good it is given it totally free to play.

I have no idea how it compares to other online RPGs [I refuse to pay for the privilege of playing my own games] but it's not bad. There are one or two annoying things about it, but it is still in BETA so that's to be expected.

The learning curve is fairly shallow so you should have a good grasp of the game within a short amount of time. The interface is quite intuitive and somewhat customizable [you can move the different HUD items around etc].

Graphically it is quite well polished. I haven't seen it on max [it is on my 4 year old laptop at the moment] but judging by my current settings it should be decent by anyone's standards. The fact that it plays smoothly on my laptop also goes to show it is quite well coded.

Anyway, enough of banging on about it, more info etc here: http://shaiya.aeriagames.com/

Well, so far there is already a very good user base. Plenty of people to talk to and team up with. Support is also very good if the forum is anything to go by.

I am not saying it is likely to be as polished as a pay to play MMO, but I think I could put up with a few quirks for something that is completely free.
