Could you guys make a few recommendations?

Here's a few off the top of my head that I enjoyed:

Atlantica Online
Cabal Online
Runes of Magic
Perfect World International

And while I haven't tried it, I heard that Allods Online was pretty good.

[QUOTE="RichardStallman"][ ] Good [ ] Free [ ] MMORPG You can only choose two.

So I can choose Good Free? That wouldn't make much sense because then what would it have to do with an MMORPG? I always dislike when people say free MMOs can't be good. I mean if you are expecting WoW or some other pay for game quality then you will be disappointed, but you would be a fool you even expect that. It is just like movies, a awful movie can still be awesome if your expectations are low enough.

Anyone who asks for a good and free MMO is expecting that. They are looking for a free MMO that's as good as a paid one. Otherwise why would they look for a free MMO in the first place? There is no such thing as a good and free MMO. I mean there are a bunch that will give you some fun early on, but they are all repetitive and grindy. On top of that they technically aren't free when you get to the higher level content. You end up having to pay real money to get the items needed to progress. I've talked to a lot of free MMO players who are far along. All of them have stated they pay about the same amount per month as a paid MMO ($15). Some of them even pay more because of the extra benefits you get.

Technically not free? Yes it is free because you don't have to pay for it. Just because you won't get extra (or later) content in no way means it has any type of forced fee. If I was walking and someone said I could take 1 step for free, but the 2nd step would cost me $5 dollars it would not make that first step any less free. They chose to pay, which made the game pay to play for them, but that in no way it isn't free to anyone else, such as myself. And "anyone who asks for a good and free MMO is expecting that"..... Really? You are trying to pass that off as a fact that absolutely anyone in the entire world is expecting that? And why would they look for a free MMO in the first place? Probably because they don't have to pay for it.... With that comes the knowledge of a lesser quality game. If there was a free Ipod or a pay for Ipod you can expect the free one to be made of considerably less quality and probably a handful of rocks. Like I said before if you go into a free mmo expecting the quality of a pay for one then you are a fool. I means lets see... The company is receiving (possibly) very little income from the game and not expecting much so how much time, or money, are they going to put into the project? Well probably considerably less, which can usually equate to a lot less quality. Now you can go into it expecting the quality of a pay for all you want and I won't stop you. But don't say Anyone (or the way you made it sound like "Everyone") because that is impossible to back up. If I said NOBODY likes pie it would be impossible to back up with proof because it is impossible for 100% of the world to agree on the exact same thing, hell just look at religion for proof on that. Also a game giving you the choice to pay does not make it a pay for game. The hobo down the street is asking for money all the time, but that doesn't mean I HAVE to give it to him, and if I don't then about the same outcome will happen.

Ive invested hundreds of hours into both Runes of magic and Perfect world and have not spent a dime. You DON'T have to spend ANY money and I know what I am getting from F2P. I have gotten more enjoyment out of the hours put into those free games than I have some commercial products.

Dead Frontier is pretty fun. It's a zombie survival MMO that is pretty immersive. For now it's a 2d game, but 3d is in the works, and looks pretty fun. You can check it out at http://deadfrontier.com a blog is being hosted updating you on the progress of the 3d transition.

There are only 3 things that fall into the good + free category, League of Legends, Trackmania Nations Forever and Quake Live, the rest are crappy, useless games and there is no such thing as a good, free MMO.

Good + Free + MMO = Not going to happen.

You will have to pick betwen good and free. If you take free you might get a average game at best that will require you to grind for 400h to get a "ok" item only to make it "downgrade" back to level 0 when you fail to upgrade it again.

Guildwars does not require a subscription and i think you can buy it off steam with all expansions for a couple of bucks (read this a view days ago on gamespot). So i would say get that as it is closest to the quality of the subscription MMORPG's. If you want totaly free i suggest you read this list http://www.mmorpg.com/gamelist.cfm and customize the filter to only show free games and order it by hype/ranking. Now just go from top to bottem and download anything you might find interesting.

-edit-

don't listen to those people, there are plenty of free mmorpg's that are pretty good. Offcourse don't expect it to be top quality with millions of players online all time. But those intuitive people that bring ot free games are pretty clever how to make things work. Also if you participate in there community you will be able to have MUCH more influence on how the game works then greedy companies. The downpart for me is most free games are more of a grind and you have a major been there done that feeling if you have played some good MMORPG's.

I can't believe you guys underestimate free mmorpg's. Perfect World Interational. Ever Heard of it? I like it more than WoW, and it was free.

Simple.

There are tons of Good, Free MMO's. The question is; How entertained do you want to be at MAX level.

-Just wanna play for Leveling? Try Zu online. 300 levels. Although the leveling speed is fast.

-Want the best WoW clone yet? Runes of magic.

-Want cutesy? Maple Story.

-Got a few bucks to burn? Guild Wars.

-Generally good? Fiesta Online, Flyff

-"Freemium?" Dungeons and Dragons online., Chronicles of Spellborn.

-Promising MMO with excellent graphics? Allods online (installing actually is quite stressing when tryin to D/L the 6mbs (megabytes) patch that takes forever

Problem with all these is that you ~WILL~ quit at some point. Nothing to do at max level but solo and/or 5man party grind random mobs for what ever reason.

Where's the delicious carrot on a stick?

Is this really an issue when you have invested hundreds of hours into a FREE game? Who cares if theres nothing beyond the end game content (which is not entirely true for all games, as at least with Runes of Magic, they have some decent additions with Chapter three releasing shortly with an increased level cap and more high level content not to mention the introduction of the Tideborn in Perfect World Int.... ) These games while free still have additional content that may or may not bring those who "got there fill" out of it back..

Alright man, I have been playing many MMOs for few years now ... as far as free goes i think the best site i found so far is BigPoint.com. DarkOrbit and Deepolis in particular. Both games you can play for free if you are willing to endure the hardships. And is Very possible to get FE (Full Elite) account from bidding in the auction house and or earning game credits throughout the game. DarkOrbit (Space age type game) Build your ships weapons, defence, and engines up ... Deepolis is the better of the two. (Submarine Combat), Same as Darkorbit but I found much more strategy in killing/staying alive. There is also a few new games comming out very very soon... One is called Nemisis 2030 http://www.n2030.com/ It is brand new and only out in german but still fun to play. The second one is called Battlestar Galactica Online not due to come out until Sept/Oct of 2010, although if you look at this website http://www.bgo.bigpoint.com/ you might find updates on the exact release date.

What genre do you want? That will affect the mmo's suggested.

What are your priorities in good?
