Almost six years ago, Blizzard disrupted the PC and MAC market with an MMO so popular it would send Dollar, Pound and even Yen signs appearing in the eyes of publishers across the globe who were after a piece of the delicious pie that thousands of gamers were happily putting money into each and every month.

World of Warcraft has been gripping the globe with over eleven million subscribers with no signs of slowing down any time soon. In the time it’s taken Blizzard to create such a phenomenal user base, gamers have seen many games of a similar come and go – either into oblivion or to a new subscription method known as free to play.
Free to play is exactly how it sounds, you can play for free, with restrictions of course.

Paying zero a month for a game which used to cost approximately seven pounds a month will ensure your experience within the world is enjoyable and tolerable but also offering you enticing features for you splash out on if you so desire.

The most recent case of this new method of luring players into the foray is Lord of the Rings Online. This game was certainly no slack but due to the obscure timing of its release three months after the second World of Warcraft expansion, The Burning Crusade, saw that not much of a user base bought the game home to begin with and has struggled to maintain it during the events of WoW: Wrath of the Lich King and now WoW: Cataclysm.

Choosing from the major races in the game which belong to the wonderful world which J.R Tolkien created and taking part in the immense war is the game’s biggest draw. Yes, you can play as a hobbit if you so desire.
Head over to the official website if you have always wondered about these massively multiplayer games but never wanted to pay a monthly fee for one of them, you will certainly get an enjoyable time with the free-to-play account and before you know it you will be slaying beasts with friends you have met in the fantasy land of Middle Earth.

If the elves, dwarves and hobbits grab you, try out League of Legends. A free to play strategy game which is dubbed the spiritual sequel to Defence of the Ancients (or DOTA, if you will).
