Yet another previously launched MMO title is making the switch to become a free-to-play game. This time its Saga, the fantasy themed RTS MMO from developer Silverlode Interactive. The game was first launched in March 2008 with a $19.95 price tag for a one time download and purchase. Now Silverlode has announced that all of the content in that $19.95 purchase is now available for free.

In addition there’s some new content that’s been added to the game including rasing the unit level cap to 15 and the nation level cap to 40.
