Heroes of Gaia, the free-to-play, browser-based MMO from Snail Game, launched its first expansion today. Heroes of Gaia launched back in October, and the BABEL expansion adds quite a bit of new content to the game on both the PvP and PvE sides.
Updates to the PvE side begin with the Tower of Babel, a 40-level tower with progressively more difficult guardians (and better rewards!) on each level. The Tower of Babel can be attempted once per day, but fight carefully, because a defeat will expel you from the tower empty handed. The tower isn't the only new challenge facing players, though. Three times a day 20 minions will appear on your world map, each defending a powerful boss monster in an instanced challenge.
PvP has gotten a nice facelift as well, with the addition of new Arena rules, new military ranks, and a very generous list of new military equipment. The full list, as well as all the new additions that came with the BABEL expansion, can be seen on the official site.

I tried this game. The game itself isn't bad, but the community is beyond disrespectful. Common conversations over chat, which could not be blocked or avoided while 'outside' my castle, included vulgar conversations against various religions, homosexuality, politics, and just about any value under the sun that one might hold dear.
Being a 'free' game makes it more accessible to children.
Hopefully this new expansion offers a way to block disrespectful users and a chat filter...at least.

I'm currently playing this game on gPotato's servers. I enjoy it alot. I agree the chat needs some sort of filter, but they are working on it.
The game is also in open beta right now so there are bound to be some bugs.
It's worth trying out though: http://heroesofgaia.gpotato.com/
