From their humble beginnings with UltimaOnline and Everquest, MMORPGs have done nothing but grow in popularity in the past few years. In fact, they've become so much a genre of themselves that even smaller independent or foreign game companies are vying to be the next big hit like Everquest or World of Warcraft, more recently. Risk Your Life: Rise of the Emperor, better known pretty much everywhere by the acronym RYL, is one of those attempts. Trying to lure players in with promises of a tournament bearing a million dollars in real life cash money and offers to play for free with the completion of surveys (the epitome of a new genre all its own, MMOTelemarketing), the game certainly has a good marketing plan. That doesn't mean that you should rush out and buy it this instant, however.
