Global Agenda Gets "Open Zone", Other Stuff

Shooty persistent-world type game Global Agenda has undergone a bunch of changes since launch, the biggest of those having just gone live within the game today. These include the "Open Zone" - which is a wide-open PvE space that you can go off and do missions in, a bit like a traditional MMO- and also, more significantly, the fact that there is no longer any fee to play. Buy it, and you got it, Guild Wars style. Which is good. The new patch also adds in 10-man raids, in which you defend the city against invaders. It's interesting to see the PvE leanings within the game, perhaps because the PvE types got more out of it. The actual conquest part of the game was what I'd had the most hope for, and it doesn't seem to be doing all that well. (Although I had pretty good time in the drop-in PvP stuff I did manage to play, it just didn't have enough bite to stick around.) Worth checking out if you have the game, and hopefully they'll do another free trial, too.
