Play Adventure Quest Free RPG (Role-Playing Game)
When playing for free, players can go on many interesting quests while exploring Adventure Quest's "World of Lore." At the beginning of the game, one chooses an avatar (or online alter-ego) to represent them and designs his or her appearance. One can choose hair color and style, clothing, armor and type of individual (such as a mage magician, a fighter, or a rogue). Each choice of comes with various skills, wealth, and special features. It is fun to make these choices and they should be strongly considered as they affect one's play in the game (plus one is pretty much stuck with what one's avatar looks like for some time).
AQ Parental Information about Safety
There are many things to do as one goes through the game and completes quests. Although the Adventure Quest role playing game involves a lot of battling with weapons, potions, and powerful battle-ready odd pets, parents will appreciate the lack of blood in this online adventure. When an enemy character is attacked, they retreat briefly backward until after multiple attacks the foe is defeated and disappears, falls to the ground, or transforms into something less harmful.
Adventure Quest is also a single player game, which rules out the worry of a younger player interacting with strangers, such as in another online game featured in the Suite 101 article: A Review of RuneScape Online RPG. It is also nice for those who prefer not to be constantly bumping into other real life players of who-knows-what background or age.
Adventure Quest has been online for over 3 years and is a great game to play at no cost. However, one issue with playing for free that can be frustrating is that there are a limited number of free play slots. When those slots are full, free players cannot play. For a 1-time fee, one can upgrade to Guardian, which solves this problem and lets one play anytime.
Becoming a Guardian on Adventure Quest
Players in this game may upgrade to Guardian or Guardian X by paying a one-time fee of $19.95 to $24.95 (U.S. – There is a currency converter link on the site and payment information for those in other countries).
Upgrading adds bonus features and play options. As a Guardian (or a Guardian X) a player can enter more areas of the game and go on more challenging quests. Being a Guardian also allows access to many new items to use in the game. AdventureQuest currently has over 500 monsters, and adds new 'pets,' armors, shields and weapons weekly. After trying the Guardian option, this reviewer believes the upgrade to be worth the fee charged. It does add a lot of excitement and even more depth to the online game. For more information the game and about becoming a Guardian, read Adventure Quest Online RPG Guardianship.

Overall Review Notes
Adventure Quest online RPG (role playing game) appears to this reviewer to be a clever, exciting, and safe game for those over about 13 years old, all the way up to adult. There is a lot of humor in this game, a bit of education for kids (through reading, strategy-forming, and optional funny and informational quizzes), and certainly just plain fun. The graphics and animation are of excellent quality. Online gamers will enjoy donning a new persona and heading out on exciting expeditions on Adventure Quest.
