Seems someone went crazy all over the list again, reverting to a backup and setting it to only authorized editors again. I doubt it's anyone from the community, still a dick move though. Anyone who wants edit rights just PM or email me your google docs account.

Myst Online - http://mystonline.com/en/   

It's an MMO made by the same people who did Myst and Riven.  I probably wouldn't pay for it, but the price is right and the community seems fairly friendly.

New for the list: Star Trek Online can join the Freemium list

[creodor]

Added Myst and STO. Added Planeshift, since it got removed in the last rollback.

I'm always glad to accept criticism or suggestions for that list. If you have an idea for it, just let me know. I may not implement it, but I will try explain why if I don't.

It would be good to add more filters, mainly for dates like *Date added *Release date
Im not sure but some of these games from freeware list aren't free but freemium!

A release date column could be useful, I'll think about doing that. Part of it will be finding the time to add that for all those games (or someone who would do it for/with me). Date added, at this point, would probably not work well. I have no idea when most of them were added.

For the Freemium, yes, some are. They're marked as such, in a separate table, purposefully. Some people have different ideas of what they're willing to call 'Free'. I prefer to avoid Freemium myself but hey, it's meant to be a community deal and enough were fine with Freemium to warrant adding them. That said, Freemium should be in the correct area. If any aren't, just point them out and I'll move them (after confirming it).

This applies here too, FYI. Suggest changes if you think they would be helpful, if you want to. Additionally if you spot games where they don't belong, let me know.

I'm pretty sure Anarchy Online should be on the Freemium list.

Air Rivals and Savage 2 should be in freemium.           genre  type  sub-type  Multiplayer?
You can add to freeware (Real Games) Fonline 2238 - MMO / rpg / postapo / Online only

so... why the number of games that require purchase on the "Free games list"?

kinda nullifies the point...

[creodor]

See above. If something doesn't belong, point it out.
I'll look at those suggestions in a bit; been busy.

[bombzero]

i would love to point each one out, but theres alot.

just look for corporate titles, several of the C&C games are on there that cost money, plus a dew from other developers.

[creodor]

Uuh...the C&C games at least are completely free through the Tiberian Sun series. They were released a while back like that by EA to celebrate something or other, I don't remember what now.

EDIT: Guess they stopped doing that, frustrating.

[Robsoie]

They're always free, they just removed that "classic" page from their main website.
On their official forum, there's a sticky thread with several download links and mirror to them, and if EA does not have removed this thread, i guess that it's always valid then :

[creodor]

Thanks, Robsoie, I'll put them back up with the updated link then.

bombzero, I set this up originally as a community thing because I knew I'd have limited ability to go through and check it for problems constantly. If you know there's a bunch of stuff that requires payment, please point them out. I personally have not come across any when I've gone through looking for things to try out in the past, but it has been a while since I last did that, and will likely be a while before I do so again.

[bombzero]

alright cool. also EA is a pretty shitty company that rides on the back of others success, so any crap they pull fails to surprise me....
