It seems I have stumbled upon the best FREE mmorpg (in my opinion of course) I have yet seen to grace the internet. The name of it is Last Chaos. If you havent heard of it I'll outline what addicted me to it.
-Three types of *experience* you can gain include: normal experience from killing most monsters and completing quests, skill points that are gained from killing monsters only and are used to purchase abilities and trade skills, and lastly pet experience - you get to use a horse or a dragon pet and level it up which is slightly awesome.
-Six classes include the healer, knight, sorceror (like a druid dude with a scythe which is slightly whack), mage, titan (some intense barbarian warrior type), and my personal favorite; the rogue. Each class can cross class into one of two general type classes at level 31 which is quite... cool.
-A huge economy which actually makes money useful (as for example I never really had a need for gold since you could find all the decent items in raids and such).
-Items... lots of items... that can be upgraded to +15 and bloodsealed (unlocks random bonuses on the items) which makes me quite happy since im really into randomized features.
-A statue in town which uses slightly rare moonstones you find... and you can gamble with it

totally badass.
