Partially Free MMORPGs -- A Master List
This one of three lists of MMOs -- the other two are a list of Free MMOs and a list of Pay MMOs. I will keep all three updated, with links from the home page.
Here are my criteria for a partially free MMO. The program download must be free, and one must be able to play without paying a monthly fee. However, the site may charge for premium items and content; it may also charge a monthy fee for extra content.
