Seems like you forgot to mention that these are all web-based browser
games.

You've got a pretty strange definition of MASSIVELY multiplayer.

>List of other free MMOG and MMORPGs
>http://www.massive-multiplayer-online-games.com

Which just lists the web games you listed above.

>http://www.startrek-games.com

So does this one.

>http://www.starwars-games.com

What, this one lists 3700AD and Space Federation again?
They're Star Trek games and Star Wars games?
You must have really spent big bucks getting permission to use Star Trek
and Star Wars stuff.   That or you're guilty of false advertising.

>http://www.gamestotal.com

Oh look, this one just lists the same 4 web games again, the same 4 you
listed above.


So in short what you have is a bunch of crappy, web based "strategy
games" and a whole bunch of different web sites that point back at your
crappy games.

Where's the MASSIVE, where's the RPG part?
