None but guild wars is free (if you mean sub costs) and from what I played fairly good.

hellgate london was ok not really free tho as you have to buy the game.

Alright then, is decided! I am starting guildwars next week!

I used to play RF Online, got to level 48 and got bored of the grind and unfair PVP.

RF was almost good when it was pay to play. Now it is utter utter trash, not worth playing even though it's free.

I've played a few.. I have a mid level Knight with ultra rare swords in Last Chaos if you want it

Played Sword of the New World most recently, and for a free mmo it has really nice graphics, music and animation - the game is very well produced, but it's just pure grind. As was Requiem, Rappelz, Last Chaos, FLYFF, and pretty much every f2p mmo

There's some really good ones if you're wanting some new scenery and a bit of leveling fun, but don't expect any decent end game or high level content in any of the completely free mmos!

how about those that post some free games also write down what it is about etc so we don't have to go googling?

Fine CORPG, but its practically an MMO.

And it's still awesome

I have guild wars sitting on the shelf to my right, and I just can't bring myself to install it again to play it. Started it several times and got immensly bored after the first 2 hours

No idea why!

Never understood the appeal of a free MMO. I tried a few (including RF Online, for 5 minutes).

Most of their subs are what, £8 a month? for that you get a polished game, support, multiple players to play with.

Cheaper than a few pints in the pub. I'd be more annoyed at investing my time in a crappy game..

BombayMix · 16 Jul 2008 at 16:13

I've played most of them but none for very long. Think a week my record.

VeNT · 16 Jul 2008 at 16:16

Anarchy Onlines still free isn't it?

Failed to see why people dislike them so much. Yes there are crappy ones (I disliked RF Online too) but their are loads of crappy payed for games. Some games I've bought and played less then a free game.

Personally (and obviously i can only give a personal opinion) i've found sub standard graphics, terrible support, unbalanced gameplay, rude, un professional GMS and resets/server crashes.

Like you highlighted, these problems are no way strictly free games, but i've found paid for ones less of a risk, and you don't get the attitude "Hey, it's free, you get what you're given".

The biggest bonus is probably that playing LOTRO, all the annoying 'Should have been drowned at birth' kids are playing WOW/Free MMOs

Shadowbane is free now I think? If it is, its definitely worth a go.
