Wondering what it is like?

Interesting. The English seems a bit, ummm, quirky. Is it claiming that its free? Doesn't make much sense.

There are other games that use a "free" approach as well.

- Guild Wars does not have a subscription fee, but you have to pay for the client

- Anarchy Online has a free client and no subscription fee, if one only plays the base game. If one wants the expansions one has to start paying. It also has (or will have) in-game advertising.

- Project Entropia has a free client and no subscription fee, but the in-game economy is tied to real money.

I have played a few "free" online games lately and they make there money by selling scrolls and equipt for real money ingame, of course you don't need to buy them but it make leveling faster if you do. I am playing Knights Online now which is one of the free ones..it works good and is alot of fun, people are for the most part friendly and higher lvl players can power level you and earn manner points for doing it too. s it works out good for both players. (not sure what manner points do but they like getting them)
