What is the most popular and/or best free MMORPG?

I used to play Runescape a lot but its not that fun so I wanna play another MMORPG but it cant be one thats pay to play. I've heard some good things about Guild Wars... Any other suggestions? Preferrably one that has a large, active gamer base.

People might hate me for saying this, but Maplestory is a decent F2P mmorpg. It's a 2-D anime drawing style, sidescrolling MMORPG, and there is a ton of things to do. Just look it up on google and check it out.

Lord of the rings online.

LOTRO is good.

However, most F2P MMOs are garbage.

That's probably true! :p

I should have included a link to MMOhut, if you can't find something here, well, you're probably screwed.

12 hours downloading LOTRO and I find out it has a corrupt file! Dahhhyeeeeeeeeeeee

It seems that the general concensus is that LotRO is the way to go. I will look into getting it. Thanks people!

Is Soul of the Ultimate Nation any good? And if so, is it P2P?

Hm... someone pointed me towards Atlantica Online. It looks pretty interesting. Any thoughts?

I stand by what I said. I've played Runes of Magic and it sucks. It almost made me swear off all F2P games. It is extremely tedious and repititve, the quests are boring, the crafting system is awful, the combat system is basic at best, and it is HEAVILY influenced by microtransactions. If you want to get anywhere in that game, you have to spend money and the more advanced players probably spend more than people who drop $15 a month on a standard MMO.

Lord of the Rings Online is free now.

Maplestory > Guildwars. Theres hardly anyone playing the game anymore, doesnt feel like an MMO at all, and the gameplay is just lackluster, feels very clunky.

You can have your own opinion, but there are loads of people still playing..

The reason why LOTRO is the best one out there is because it was pay to play for years....its only now both PAY 2 play and FREE 2 play. You are limited in END game, but you can always subscribe if you like it THAT much.

The only good title that I know is, in my opinion, Dungeons & Dragons Online: http://www.ddo.com/.

I sincerely doubt you will regret, give it a try. ;)
