I like free to play more.

Sure Free to Play game come with an item mall where you can buy all nice goodies like lvling packs that make you grind twice as fast etc, but who cares? Most of the items being sold in an item mall are tradable, so you can buy them from other players. And yes, people do sell those items for in-game gold (god may know why...). Not that any of the cash shop items are needed. If you're willing to invest a little more time into the game, you can still easily beat the crap out of others. Time invested still beats money invested.

Besides of that there are plenty of quality games with more than enough things to do (quests, pvp, crafting, you name it).  You really don't have to pay $150/year to play an ejoyable game. Sure there are loads of Free to Play games that make you wonder why they are still up and running, but that's basically the same with Pay to Play games.

So, I guess if you're not afraid to put a little time into the game and don't mind looking for a GOOD Free to Play game, things are pretty even.

Cheers.

My dream MMO?

Easy. That would be a free version of EVE Online

Nah, these guys are nuts.  OGame is the biggest and best by far and it truly is massive.  BattleDawn is pretty sweet too.

How I so loved those tick-based games years back haha. They sure are fun, but I don't think they are really good.

Space Merchant Realms is a game I really like though. Kind of confusing in the beginning, but it's cool.

The game is nice and such, but it's so not worth paying for.

I liked the game a lot more before Blitz sold his school project, and then I'm not even talking about the fees.

2moons ain't bad, 9dragons ain't bad, RF online ain't bad...

Ehmm... Sword of the New World is nice, but with the entire server being afk, it's more of an AFK-based game than skill based.

It's hard to tell you what the 'best' free mmorpg is, without knowing your preferences really.

I'm looking for the exact same thing.

I'm not sure if there is a neat game like this out there though...

Haven't played it yet. The screenshots look decent, but not superb. Also I have to agree to the comment posted above. Item shops stink. Doubt that I'll ever try this one.

There is no 'best' mmo that I have ever played. There are however games that required me to stay hooked longer than others, but that doesn't mean the game is better.

For instance I really enjoyed playing Biosfear. The game itself is crap. It's really linear and there is not a lot to do. However there was always someone to talk to, always some way to improve your character and I really enjoyed the exp-whoring at that stage. It made the game ok for me, while for someone else it would be crap. To be honest, now I look back at the day that I played that game, I wonder why I even played it. It wasn't that great.

You've got to love adictions ;)

Another winner here. Woohoo 

It's a really nice game if you get the hang of it. The game itself is not really newbie friendly, but the people in DarkSpace Asia are. If you don't mind having a tough time at the start and like space games this is your game.

Myself I recently started playing DarkSpace Asia after playing the P2P version for months. In fact the free version is just as good and I wonder why I even tried the P2P version. I find the game very fun to play, as I joined a very friendly fleet. I guess I like this game so much because of the ship to ship combat :)

You should try this one if you haven't, because it's better than all free to play games out there.

This one: http://www.laghaim.in.th/

A very old game. The only problem I have is creating an account

Not that I would advise anyone playing this game. It's a korean grind mmorpg of the worst kind (but jeah, I love it)

I played a game called Hostile Space (it's even in the game list) a few years ago when it was still free to play, but I always found it fun to play.

The graphics in this game were bad, nobody will disagree on that one. You can't expect miracles from someone's school project, can you? However this game kept me playing for hours and hours. Lvling up, buying new ships, raiding bosses, creating items, creating a clan, enjoying minor pvp, friendly community...

After playing this game for a couple of months I realised it's not all in the graphics, but it's actually the gameplay that matters. I do however wish to say this only goes for games where the graphics do not hurt the gameplay.

On the other hand there are also examples where I find the graphics THAT bad that I don't even want to give the game a shot. I hated Runescape's graphics right from the start. I decided to give it the benefit of the doubt, but I feel ashamed that I did. I expected a game like Dransik/Ashen Empires, but I got... well... Runescape haha. I found the graphics too disturbing to even get a feeling of the gameplay. I hate it when that happens. I regret even trying this game, a complete waste of my time.


I can live with games with good gameplay and non-disturbing bad graphics, but I cannot live with one where it is disturbing. Personally I pick games by the gameplay AND graphics, but it's mostly gameplay. It's just what you like more. You shouldn't try to judge other people's taste

Necromancer for the win 

Doesn't look as good as lineage 2 to me though. I doubt I'll be switching to something like that instead of playing lineage 2 hehe...

Brand loyalty?

It takes more than just a brand name to keep people interested in a product nowadays. Try again.

Blizzard is known for good games though, so when it was still in the making it has been pretty much hyped. You'll be amazed how much kiddies are actually out there who just follow the flow of the hypes.

I still think WoW and GW are both good games, just in their own particular way. GW might not be a 'mmorpg', but that doesn't mean it can't be fun! Nothing beats some good PVP action. In fact I disliked PVP action, while GW changed that for me.

For about 3 mil on items there I don't need, but what's in it for me?

Ontopic: I actually play Runescape once in a while (call that about a day per week). I'm still pretty new to that game though

I might want to buy this game too, point is I read somewhere it gives problem with geforce fx cards, wich I just happen to have...

I would be able to play it but only in a lower graph mode I guess... I'm still thinking about buying it though.

Where did you hear that? Ive never heard anything about that. I run it on a Geforce and I dont have any trouble with it.

I would say that had been resolved- 61.77 drivers are very very old ....

I have 6800GT, I can play on max.[/b][/quote]

I have a 5200FX, btw it says only FX cards have the problems...

And I can't get a decent graph card I think because I only have a 300-350W power supply in my pc.
