    MMORPG Fans rejoice....
    http://www.anarchy-online.com/

    Funcom announces that Anarchy Online will be the first major western live MMO without a subscription fee. In a unique move Funcom is removing all cost barriers in the ultimate sci-fi MMORPG, allowing all new players to enter and stay, free of cost! At the same time Funcom is departing from the obligatory need to register with a credit card, making for an easier entrance and registration process.

    aha...

    Conditions

    *The offer is only valid if you sign up a new Anarchy Online account between the 15th of December 2004 and 15th of January 2005. You can play free of charge until 1/1 2006. Should Funcom deem that a too high-increase in server load or other unforeseen events will lessen the experience for existing players the offer will be terminated at our discretion. The free version does not include access to any of the three expansion packs. Should you wish to upgrade to any of the expansion packs monthly subscription and client fees will be added.
    time limited offer, and if you want to play the expansion packs you have to pay...

    so it basically ends up being a free trial for a year..

    That sounds like a really sound business model, I'm sure the above will generate the necessary income.

    So you'll be spammed to death and forced to pay for anything useful. Woot.

    Personally I'd much rather play GUILD WARS it will be free monthly but is still in Beta Testing I think it sux you offer free play but only to parts of the Game that BLOWS!

    The base game is free for a year, but the expansion packs aren't.

    I guess it depends on what you want out of it..
