Games paying us to play? Ridiculous! What's next -- dogs and cats sleeping together? Mass hysteria?
'Tis true, dear readers; ARGO Online is rewarding top players with in-game AP worth hundreds of real-world dollars. This giveaway is part of a promotion to celebrate ARGO's brand-new ranking system, in which players can compete to see who accumulates the most XP in each level tier. There's also a second ranking ladder that lists players according to wins and losses.
During this month, alaplaya is tallying up the initial pack leaders and will be rewarding the best of the best with in-game currency at the end of the 30 days. Lowest level characters have a shot at $50 worth of AP while level-capped folks can compete for $150. In total, alaplaya is giving out $500 just for players giving ARGO their all, which is a pretty sweet deal for those already into the game.
If ARGO Online is an unknown entity to you, check out our first impressions and see if it's up your alley!

/so fail it hurts......
How about investing in one really good game, instead of a dozen F2P games. Argo looks like a Super Nintendo game... Stop pushing a boulder up a hill, and focus one top line quality.
An Mr. Beau thinks F2P will be the future BAH
(I do like your article Beau just a different opinion : )

I have not played this one but there are many F2Ps that are VERY good. Each has different qualities (one of the wonderful things about having SO many to choose from) so it takes some time to find one with the right combination of features.
What's so great is that many of them experiment with crazy things that most mainstream MMOs don't. Whether it's PvP features, Guild features or different styles of crazy combat you'll find a bunch of different mixes.
But for every five that are garbage there's a diamond in the rough. You have to do some digging but if you're patient there's some great fun to be had out there. For free! As soon as you feel compelled to pay anything you can re-evaluate whether it's worth your time.
Honestly, it's fun just jumping from one to another trying to get the right mix of features. A game in and of itself.

Too bad this game's installation is such a pain in the hindquarters...
Sorry but it's 2011... if I have to forward ports manually to make it work - it's probably not worth my time
