We'd like to welcome our newest writer to The Average Gamer, Richard Gwilliam. In 2000 Kirth, aka Richard Gwilliam, discovered the internet and Everquest while studying. This lead to EQ2, the required WoW, AoC, Eve, WAR, Vanguard, GW and a lot of free games in between. Not just an MMOer, he can also be found blowing things up in the wilderness that is Fallout 3, stealth killing in Assassins Creed or trying to complete God of War trilogy, all on the PS3. Richard covers the changing funding models used across MMOs and asks if freemium is future.

I had sworn off MMOs since Aion took over my life for 6 months – you can see the effect on my Wakoopa usage stats. However, I caved today and bought APB. While checking out leagues/clans/guilds to join, this league of Enforcers was too awesome not to post. Yup, they’ve created their own Met Police uniforms, cars and a police [...]
