Lord of the Rings is also good because it's free to a point. I personally wouldn't recommend Dungeons and Dragons Online as it has a really strange leveling and feat system that bogs it down. Can't hurt to try it though, as it may be up your alley. There are also a million eastern Free to Play games that you can try, although I have never found even 1 to be any good. Maybe...Aion? Since it is fully Free to Play. ugh..nevermind, I hate Aion. Forget I said it. ;D  |

I would say WoW, without a doubt, provided your "free" criteria is satisfied by the fact that a new player can check it out and play to level 20 for free.

I would also recommend starting with Lord of the Rings Online. And then move to Rift, GW2 and others. Website: http://www.emrendil.com |

I would say introduce the beginner to a game with a good community so they know what a good community is like. If you try to push them into WoW or Rift then at least make sure that global chat channels are disabled for them (for their own good)
The problem is that if you are looking for a f2p game, a good community is often the last thing you will find. |

After playing darn near every mmo under the sun for the past 10 years. And from suggesting and introducing mmos to several new fans that include coworkers, my wife, my kids and friends. World of Warcraft is by far the best intro mmo to play. Forgiving leveling curve. Plenty of quest and content. Lots of side options. The community is vast enough that you can pick who to play with and not be stuck for too long playing alone.
But if you want to go the F2P route first I'd say go with LoTRO or EQ2.Both of those were subscription based mmo before the leap to F2P. Thus they are more fully fleshed out than most F2P mmos in regards to structuring of quest and leveling curve. Also, those mmos are not bound deeply to the cash shops that plague most F2P mmos that started as F2P.

Originally posted by Goatgod76 Lol - you want him to play Vanguard? Throw him into the fire with one of the more old school type of mmos when he is likely looking for a newer generation style mmo. That's bad advice for this guy.. personally I don't play WoW anymore.. and grew up on games like Vanguard - with EQ, SWG, and DAoC.. but its still a great game and very friendly to those new to mmorpgs. |
