Shaiya is a free fantasy MMORPG that has been very popular over the years. It is set in a magnificent fantasy setting which consists of two factions fighting to save and destroy the world. Choosing which side you want to play as, can alter the options available to you during character customization. Some of the classes are classics such as long range fighters, casters and assassins. Shaiya combines many proven factors from other games. Shaiya takes the massive expansive world from guild wars and the control system from world of warcraft. Players will use the WSAD movement system which makes combat far more intense. It is also a more solid control system.

The visual lay out of the game is an epic adventure on its own. As I traversed through the world I noticed the world was quite fluid and had very few artifacts. The quests are intriguing and made me feel like I had a decisive role in the outcome of the end battle. The classes are unique in regard to armor and skills. The animations are right on the spot and provide satisfying visuals and sounds on hit.

Crafting professions and PvP elements are available as well. Many players will note that this game which is available for free can rival many paid games. Personally I felt this game would go a fair distance. My character level determined the areas available to me. However this helped me to navigate and find the correct quests I needed. WASD mechanics give the game a natural feel and helps navigation and dodging combat. The game is a brilliant fantasy setting with intense combat and will give many players a large amount of content and hours of game time. I enjoyed the experience and recommend it to all players looking for free online MMORPGS.
