Ubi brings free Heroes of Might and Magic MMO to the web

According to Ubi, the game will not require players to download or install any software, and just to make things a bit more strange, Kingdoms is described as a persistent MMO, meaning you may soon be defending your castle walls from assault by a preteen boasting an unhealthy cocktail of vitamin-R and bone dragons. Heroes of Might and Magic Kingdoms is expected to make its online debut worldwide next spring, though Ubi notes that Heroes of Might and Magic: Complete Edition, which ships today in Europe, will include beta keys for those eager to get a jump on the rest of us.

I'm really conflicted with this. While Heroes is one of my favorite series of all time, the most recent two have been sub-par. I don't see a free-MMO changing this trend....unless 3DO is resurrected and claims the franchise back from Ubisoft.

This is great! Wow! Could be awesome!
Hope that it is more like Heros of Might and Magic 3. HOMM3 is quite possibly my favorite game of all time so... this could be huge indeed.

Sounds ok, but can we get less pvp and more pve?

2 was my favorite and the one that introduced me to the series. Didn't much care for the switch to more realistic looking style...haven't played the new one.

To me, HoMM5 is a lot closer to 2 than it is to the others, which is a good thing in my opinion.

What!?! What's this about Heroes of Might and Magic Complete? Why haven't we heard more about that? It being released in europe? What about a US release?

Free stuff is always welcome in my book but there is always a catch maybe you will have to pay for additional stuff.
Also have anyone played Heroes of might and magic?,I haven't played with my PC since 2005 and I want to know how is it.

I got really excited, but then i realised I was thinking of MASTER of Magic. Sigh. A free online version of Master of magic would rock...

it really really would, i heard about some project to do a civ4 master of magic mod, but i dont think anything came of it sadly.
