Best Free MMO?

Well, I've tried getting into AdventureQuest and Runescape respectively, but AQ sucks and Runescape needs the membership to be worth playing. What would you recommend for someone who wants to coast through life without paying any money for anything?

Basically all MMORPGs these days cost money.... so you really don't have a choice. I'm a huge World of Warcraft fan... it costs $15 a month but if you play a lot then its definetely worth every penny.

There's quite a few MMOs that are free.

Two that come to mind are Silk Road and Maple Story.

I've not played either, though.

Frankly, I don't think MMOs are worth paying for as they simply aren't interesting enough to warrant the additional cost.

silk road is ok.. it reminds me of a simplified Lineage 2... honestly considering its free.. its great.. if you can get past the "Engrish"....and of course the asian theme that permeates the game..

I havent played maple story so I have no idea about that

the only MMO i actually thought was worth paying for , after trying the beta, was Phantasy Star Universe..

Never played a good one.

Paying monthly is acceptable as long as you play it a bit. Seriously though, $15 a month is a single trip to the movies worth, and you get unlimited time....

and no overpriced candy 🙂

Knight Online is a half decent free MMO. It's got little extras if you're willing to pay something but I never have.

Guild Wars has free online play but you still have to buy the game.

it was a very good game, i dont think it has the staying power of a lot of other more standard MMO's though. But I had a good 6 months or so.

AdventureQuest Worlds is pretty sweet but there are far better.

Is Guild Wars 2 free these days? If so, it's probably that.

SWTOR is also not bad these days.

What about LOTR Online? That's still free, right?

So is DCUO and Vindictus.

I tried TERA a few years ago, that was alright.

That Heroes of the Storm is a moba, right?

Noticed it when downloading the two Starcrafts.

Yes it is. I'd be wary of that one if you care about such a game having a competitive scene, Blizzard just announced that they are essentially ending all E-sport support for it, leaving a lot of the pros and teams to move on to other games. Game may not be very healthy right now.

I know DOTA 2 used to be big.

But I hear League of Legends is the place to be now.

I don't really follow the moba scene, but I as far as I know LoL is still number 1 by a pretty significant margin, but DOTA2 is still very popular.

AdventureQuest 3D is pretty sweet right now, there's no buy-to-play, pay-to-win and there's BARELY "pay-to-access-certain-content". It has no real incentive but PVP is poppin rn.
