Minions of Mirth, a totally free MMORPG
Short story, think free moddable Ever Quest with single player
Long story:
Last Monday i looked through some of my chat logs and found a link to a thread somewhere about a game called Minions of Mirth
Minions of Mirth is a MMORPG currently is open alpha that is targeted to be completely free except for buying the initial game engine and to be completely moddable, the game is really good, the community input during the alpha is awesome, we are shaping the way the game will be (witch is really cool in my opinion) the games creator, programmer, and owner Josh Ritter knows his MMORPG's, he is incorporating so many good things and fixing flaws no money oriented game company would ever do.
This game is soooooooo awesome
