Usually premium themes look better than free ones. * “midevil” isn’t much to go on. Is the site about a particular game or content? * Here’s another one [http://www.schulte-design.com/casdah-theme/](http://www.schulte-design.com/casdah-theme/) it’s free and pretty nice looking. Take off the Warcraft stuff and add your own images and you have a generic “midevil” theme. * To be honest, I think I know what you’re looking for as I’ve searched for the same for my Warcraft site a few years. For some reason there are not many themes that fit into that category unless you want to fork out money. * Thread Starter [xarzu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/xarzu/) * (@xarzu) * [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-medieval-theme/#post-2405067) * I do not understand the logic behind a payed wordpress theme.

I’m not sure what that means. Just because soem designers have themes for sale, doesn’t mean they don’t have free themes as well. Take a look at WooThemes, lots of free themes and lots of premium themes. * You can always create your own too 😛 * [Clayton James](https://wordpress.org/support/users/claytonjames/) * (@claytonjames) * [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-medieval-theme/#post-2405069) * > I do not understand the logic behind a payed wordpress theme. . * The logic is the same as it would be with any other service or product that you pay for. In most cases, paying for a theme means a design with additional features and options, premium support, and probably free upgrades for the life cycle of the theme. Not to mention that some commercial theme creators offer access to other premium products – such as child themes, or an entire theme library – for a greatly reduced fee, or many times even for free. * > With other Content Management Systems, the themes are free advertisements for > professional work.

Just because a theme is free, does not necessarily mean that it isn’t of the same quality as a paid theme. Lack of a feature does not mean lack of quality. * All free themes by any designer who respects the GPL, and who does not contaminate their themes with convoluted licensing agreements or encoded spam links, is producing something that is in essence an “advertisement”, or sample of their work. It’s also a generous contribution back to the WordPress community. And you get to use it for free. Just like WordPress. * But that doesn’t mean that all WordPress themes (or any other platform) should be free. * Here’s an article that I think offers some interesting perspective on the subject, if you are really interested.

I have found a few that I like and what I have decided to do is to borrow from them and make my own. Of course, only the free ones. * To do this, I am going to have a temporary index page to my web site and have links to the 4 or 5 themes that I want. I do not want to have to make 5 seperate database installs.
