Being at E3, i saw a lot of MMORPG that was heading the microtransaction route where it's free to play but some things costs some money. Well,
Dungeons and Dragons Online is
going to be free to play with some microtransactions and a VIP subscription base model to generate income. You'll be able to get up to level 20 and get access to many areas but there will still be some that are restricted to paying customers. Seeing as the game will be free this summer, I might just login and try it out. It seems you'll be able to do a lot without plunking any money down initially.
