Shaiya

Shaiya is a free download-able fantasy MMORPG (massive multiplayer online role playing game) game from Aeria Games. It is quickly becoming the most played game from them as well.

After you download the game (which is fairly fast) you have to create an account (you can do this while downloading to speed things up) in order to log in. Once logged in you have a choice of four servers each of which can hold five characters. After you pick a server you will be asked to choose a side ether the Alliance of Light or the Union of Fury.
The Alliance of Light have humans and elves each with three classes.
Humans can choose from:
Fighters which will give you +1 strength each level and can use a few different types of weapons.
Defenders which give you +1 reaction each level and can use shields, one handed weapons, and blunt weapons.
Priest which give you +1 wisdom each level and can use short swords or staffs.
Elves can choose from:
Ranger which will give you +1 dexterity and can use short swords and claw weapons.
Archer which will give you +1 luck and can use bows, crossbows, javelins, or short swords.
Mage which will give you +1 intelligence and can use short swords and staffs.
The Union of Fury is the same with different titles.
After you have chosen your side and class you will start the game. It is very easy to start off. You will be in some kind of field with a man that will give you a quest to start to teach you how to fight and get you up two to three levels then once your done with that you can choose to follow the quests, which help if you are new, or go out and start to level yourself. If you choose to go off by your self before you hit level 16 if you go to the main town, it’s the one in the middle of the map, there is a portal that will take you to a PVP map. The pvp map is about half the size of the main map but truly introduces the union party.
That's about all i can tell you now. I may revisit this as updates come out and new stuff happens.
Over all i would have to give this a 3.5 out of 5. The graphics are great for a free game and the maps are big but the attacks are all the same the monsters are all the same and it gets repetitive fairly fast.
