Notably, the company is criticised for having only a section of their main games being free, and usually more than half of the games require a $20 upgrade, sometimes leading people to say that the company "milks" their games, and the titles of "Free Online Web RPG" to be misleading. Artix Entertainment has created a game which can be played if you do not have the necessary funds to upgrade. However, many times you will see that the best items in-game often require your game or character to be upgraded. Sometimes a notice will pop up when you click something that is "upgrade only" telling you that you must upgrade the feature. If a player wants to avoid the popups completely, it can be done.
