SAGA's Free Client Released

Wahoo Studios has announced that the free client has been released for SAGA, the MMORTS that they tout as the “World's First Collectible Online Real-Time Strategy Game.” Players can now try the live game for free, with no up front costs and no expiration. However there are some restrictions - users of the free client are unable to use the market or guilds.

SAGA went live March 4, 2008 and was designed and programmed by Dallan Christensen, the lead programmer of Starcraft: Brood War. Although users of the free client have some restrictions, they are still free to purchase the booster packs, which is the model the MMORTS will be using to generate income instead of the more common monthly subscription rate.
