Recommend a f2p mmo

[Baarak]

Hi. My friend and I are searching for a free mmo to kill time with. My internet is kinda crap so it would be best if its smallish. So far we've tried and nixed: Lineage 2, DnD online, City of Heroes, LOTR online, Wakfu, and AoC.

Thanks in advance.

[Sharok]

stop being a cheapskate and lazy for asking here there are plently to go find

[Gipp]

google WoW private servers.
done.

most have a lot of bugs and arent scripted though, but its free

Every game I've seen recommended on this forum that I've bought has turned out to be a good purchase. So asking here has generally been a good bet. I have money, I just have no intentions of buying another game until D3 comes out.

DC Universe
Maple Story
Allods
Some random ones on Steam

[Meatball]

FlyFF

[Faeros]

Perfect World International (Best free mmo in my opinion, some of me friends became unaddicted to WoW when they tried this bad boy)
Vindictus (If you are in America)
Forsaken World
Battle of the Immortals
Honestly wouldnt touch Allods since they made it extremely cash shop dependant after lvl 20. Everything else people suggested so far is fine.

Otherwise websites like (mmosite) and (onrpg) (gameogre) are great sources for games and sign up for as many betas as you can. Some great looking free stuff coming out.

Vindictus

[Blueflash]

Don't play anything From perfet world international

Still haven't nerfed assasins for almost 2 years now
if you don't have deep pockets you cannot advance.

[Savaii64]

Vindictus is a great one. In case it hasnt been mentioned.

Startrek Online just went f2p

might be somethin to consider

[Calze]

Aion is going F2P in February.

[HalloKnurft]

I wouldn't play Star Trek if they paid me. It's dreadfully boring...

Lord of the Rings Online is okay.

[Tyrando]

hated Lotr ><

generally every mmo out there is bad if you've gotten bored of the current one your playing, everybody is pretty much waitin on Tera/GW2

[Grave`Digger]

Ultima Online on private servers

[Hax]

Meanwhile on a certain P2P MMO

Hundreds of Imperial players found an exploit to reach PvP level 100 in a few hours instead of a year

They still have not fixed it.

[Tyrando]

aye i was watching a live stream of it not 10 minutes ago lol

and they also said their delaying the patch to fix it.
apparently the estimate at how much EA spent on this game is atleast above $300million though most likely around $500 mil, thats right HALF A BILLION $$ spent on a game and it flops in less than 1 month.

i cannot even begin to fathom the amount of failure

Swtor sells by the millions.

What a flop!

"millions"

show me those figures bro

[Kelebek]

I didn't even know it launched yet, that's how below the radar it is. I don't know one single person on IRC who plays it, not a single one.

My flatmate plays it, I could hear him rage in frustration as he was repeatedly analized by imperials this afternoon.

Oh, and your "half a billion" figure is also way off.

"EA will break even once it hits one million subscriptions, Brown said."

Oh, it did that two weeks after release.

[Tyrando]

the first month is free

no one actually pays anything till like tommorow or so when the free month ends.

so regardless of X subs it means nothing because they aint gained any $$ beyond the initial purchase

i've played my fair share of failed mmo's in my time, but this game right ere is gaming history, the servers are also incapable of performing a rollback.

the estimate of around half a billion stems from this

The first month is not free. It is included in the price. A subscription is a subscription, in the first month, too.

Now just admit you were wrong.

[Tyrando]

nice straws there bro.
