Shanda, an MMO developer from the distant lands of China, is offering free play on Legend of Mir II and its upcoming game, endearingly called Magical Land. How do they plan on covering the cost of your addiction? They're going to charge for premium in game items and content. Imagine that, virtual property sales keeping a game afloat while you nerf megapixels in a fantasy setting.
