World of Warcraft gave players a recognizable franchise and recently incorporated a battlefield system giving players the opportunity to take part in large-scale battles. Guild Wars brought us the first offer of free online play. RYL (stands for Risk Your Life), took that idea and ran with it. Along with an attractive “free online play” offer (you fill out online surveys to pay for your monthly subscription), there was the tantalizing $1,000,000 Grand Prize Tournament that began shortly after release. The winner of the tournament will be awarded a cool million, and will gain the title of Emperor of the land. Oh, and they also claim that the game is “skill based”. But we’ll get into that later.
