Best F2P MMO's ?

Dicehunter · 28 May 2010 at 08:12

So i need a game to play, i remember hearing about a F2P mmo a while ago that is quite popular and doesnt look that bad but cannot remember the name GRRR, anyone have any suggestions ?

There is MU Online and i think Runescape is free.

It wasn't Allods Online was it? I played that for a few days when it was in beta and thought it was very good for free to play. It is very much a WoW clone almost to the point where it looks like they have actually just nicked a lot of stuff from the game, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. I only played to about level 10, so can't comment beyond that, but give it a try.

That looks good, i guarantee it won't be free to play in the future.

I don't know if Runescape counts as a MMO, I remember it being one massive grind.

Well from when I was playing it, the way they intended to make money from it was to have a cash store for items. I don't know whether it is possible to avoid using it entirely, but I've never know of any gpotato games charging for a subscription on their mmos.

The US version of Dungeons and Dragons Online, by a long mile. Huge, varied, complex, packed with mostly polite players, and the best implementation of a cash shop I've ever seen.

Also, not an Asian grind fest, and not a Wow rip off, which is pretty much unique among ftp mmo's

Ok giving DDO a try

Just wait until black prophecy is out, can't wait!

potential Word of warning about allods. (if you have any other mmo accounts)

I've played wow for 5 years never had any account problems at all.

I signed up to allods, next day my wow account got hacked.

could have just been a co-incidence.

just seemed far to convenient.

DDO is also very good

Battle of the Immortals. It owns.

What a strange comment. Of course it will - Their entire business model is micro transactions.

Didn't know DDO was f2p. Think ill give it a try!

That’s exactly what constitutes a mmo?

Try Runes of Magic, its probably the best free mmo.

Tolmekian · 28 May 2010 at 18:11

I think Runescape is by far the best F2P MMO out there, and one of the best P2P whilst also being one of the cheapest.

That's the US site.

Allods is quite well done, well finished and a pretty good game. However, later in the game if you do not want to spend real money in it, your pretty much screwed.

A mate of mine used to play Red Cliff MMO.. it was very much in the same strain as Dynasty Warriors. I don't think it really took off over here and he said the servers were quite empty. Looks quite impressive and gets some good reviews. Cant say personally what its like
