How nearly 4000 Realm of the Mad God players got hacked. Today, the Realm of the Mad God community was split into half.

A brief look at the Roguelike or Rogue-lite Genre, and a few suggestions for the best titles found therein.
I really don't like rogue-likes, I prefer thought out level design, enemies and items placed in certain locations. Obviously, some games like Minecraft and other building/survival games work well with random levels, however when it comes to action, fps, etc, I like good level design.

To that end, here's a list of some of the most outstanding F2P games out there, along with reasons why you can save some serious money over the coming months."
I know I miss that so much it sucks when characters and costumes are DLC :(
F2P games are starting to realise that. Everything can be unlocked in Planetside 2, for example.
Remember that these games are free, but have to make money somehow. A couple of quid here and there is probably not a big ask for something you'll play for 20 hours +.

Not to mention, Planetside 2's F2P model is pretty well implemeneted in that paying players have no strict advantage over players that dont.
