Danny "Ralsu" Gourley played free-to-play (F2P) games almost exclusively in 2008, and he told Ten Ton Hammer readers about his best experiences in his Top Ten Free-to-Play Games. Now that 2009 is here, Ralsu takes a look back and celebrates the best F2P games he tried in a number of categories:

To the uneducated observer, Mabinogi is a simple game. Don’t let the pastoral setting fool you. Nexon started from the ground up to create a fantasy life with their game.
Nice write up. For those game on the list I've played, I definitely agree. For those I haven't, it's an interesting read and I can see why you chose them, based on the points you listed.
This review is based on the graphics and gameplay.
yes, no doubt its good graphics n gameplay.
but their costumer service and attitude towards player suck.
1. there are many bugs everywhere in the game which is left unfixed after 4~5 months, even after player complains. they do not update player regarding what is being done to fix the bug, we can assume they does nothing.
2. there's record of 3 forging events which failed to turn on. they have compensated with only preservation stones and a experience event. but the more critical hard to get raw weapons were convienently ignored.
3. there's rumors that those are fake events, used to scam people, but their gm reply with a simple 'no, we do not scam people', with no explanation or whatsoever.
its your choice to play or no. but there seem to be fewer players online nowadays, i can't find party, so i quitted rohan
Very few free to play games receive bug fixes or decent customer support.
Though in my opinion Rohan's graphics aren't actually that good, there are some older free to play titles out there with better graphics and similiar gameplay, like ArchLord for example.
