If you're curious about virtual worlds but don't want to plonk down cash for a monthly subscription without testing the waters first, this resource may be your entry into the Massively Multiplayer Online Game genre. Clyde Bielss has listed a phenomenal number of freely available MMOs, and has kindly provided direct download links for almost all of 'em. Most, I'm afraid, are of the swords and sorcery ilk; however there are a few non-"faerie" gems to be discovered amongst the Tolkien-esque rabble.

Quite a tremendous undertaking.
