Well there isn't much character customization besides the item/avatar shop. Only three playable cl-as-es so far, you don't get to choose gender or anything like that, you're locked into three personas. Fiona - Tank, Lann - DPS, or Evie - Mage. The biggest drawback to the game is that instances are run on a P2P network. So if the group leader has a crap connection it'll be a lagfest for everyone which happens more often than not. There's not a terribly huge amount of content and a lot of the new stuff is for paying players obviously. It's fun but repetitive. Some of the battles do require a lot of teamwork and the fighting is fun though.

I'm only up to level 11 or so but it's pretty good so far. I haven't really researched what the F2P limitations are, but so far it's not noticeable for me. That may change at higher levels. It's a nice little diversion so far.

It's a nice game. There's no catch, they earn their rev by selling in game items that's all.

Yeah, it sucks. I've tried it.

Free to play games = suck.

Every one of them.

WoW Cataclysm is coming out in a couple weeks, then guild wars 2 is around the corner. just wait.

Thats your opinion.. I have absolutely Loved Trackmania Nations Forever, Alien Swarm, and Alliance of Valliant arms.(all of wwhich are completely free). Vindictus is a good free game. Not the best MMOrpg but its free so not a real issue.

Well done, Valve. But, it seems many players are having a hard time connecting to the server. Aside from that, Vindictus is still a great game for a F2P.

Well not so much a catch but I downloaded it three days ago and I haven't been able to connect to any of the servers. So I guess a very good internet connection is required.

You caught my attention with Alliance of Valiant Arms. I've honestly played that game more than a lot of retail shooters that I get, and it doesn't have the same problems most F2P games have such as a mass amount of hackers, imbalanced cash shop, and poor graphics. It came out in 2007 in Korea, and it has graphics from that time, when they are turned up of course. It's one of the best shooters I've ever personally played.

To be fair, all MMOs, and nearly all combat-oriented games, have repetitive combat.

Like a lot of people said already their are some drawbacks like laggy connections, repetitive mission/quest system, and no a lot of customization. Overall the game seems kinda limited, not of skills/spells available, very linear, lack of persistent game world, not a lot of items, only 3 classes (there is 2 or 3 more that are supossed to come out later). But the combat mechanics and visuals are very good, especially for a free game, So I thinks its worth a try.

I should mention that the company running the game, Nexon, is absolutely awful. They have F2P games, but they quickly become pay2win. I would steer clear of their games unless they are in joint with another company, and even then it's likely that company is bad. A lot of F2P gaming companies are pretty terrible these days, because they simply don't care about their customers because too many people are into the idea of paying money to win at a game. There are some notable exceptions, such as AVA and Americas Army, but the majority of them are outdated games with bad companies backing them. Here and there though, there is a diamond.

The game may look awesome and exciting from videos(not to mention...FREE!) However, it is simply dull and repetitive. The co-op isn't all that great either.
