So we can all agree:

There's not a single good F2P MMO.

> Discuss
>>
Star Trek Online and Dead Frontier are fun.
>>
planetside 2 is an mmo, its pretty good
>>
>>253284137
Path of Exile is good.
>>
>>253284137
I agree, there's not a single good MMO period. They're all shit, and so is this thread.
>>
>>253284137
Because f2p does two things. Ensure there will be done form of cash shop which will eventually lead to p2w.
draws in undesirable like BR Russians and Pinoys.
I'll only bother with p2p or b2p. get a job.
>>
I really like Vindictus for the combat but it's not a good game because it's run by nexon.
>>
>>253284137
Tera is probably the best. Great world, good combat, least jewish cash shop for f2p mmos.

Really grindy though and quests are absolute run of the mill
>>
dota 2
Ok no, but seriously there is none
>>
>>253284137
Rift's F2P is ok in that it doesn't really hide anything important in a paywall. The problem is that while the game is pretty solid in all aspects, it doesn't have anything to keep people in.
>>
>>253284352
Just put in high spec requirements and you'd get rid of most of the usual F2P shitters.

Name a comparable MMO with better combat
>>
>>253284418

I don't like the combat. It could have been better but there's still too much side of old MMOs in it.

But yeah that's probably the best if we don't count all these fuckng Koreans games that we'll never see.

>>253284742
Well Vindictus is even a step above it, but it's not an MMO at all.

>Guys I want to play an MMO, but I'm broke. What are the best ones?

Just had to ask. Neverwinter is alright. Star Trek Online has become pretty good after a while. Rift is probably the best MMO that's free at the moment. Honestly, I like it better than quite a few pay to play MMOs.
>>
>>253284301
No it isn't. It's unoptimized P2W garbage.

SWTOR and Tera are pretty good I think.

for the price

tera actually has nice combat and probably a good engine. If graphics weren't so hard on my eyes with all the colors and shit, it could actually have potential.

Not a single MMO is good, in general.

Please tell me you'd at least take the colors over brown and bloom.
>>
>>253284845

I heard a lot about Vindictus and Black Desert.

Why isn't Vindictus an MMO ?
>>
>>253285370
the bloom is no1 dealbreaker, at least you can usually turn it off.
>>
>>253285389
Because all the battles are instance based, only the hub towns have a shit load of people
>>
>>253284418
>least jewish cash shop
>paying nets you crafting boosts to make perfect pvp equipment years before a f2p user who will have to grind for years
Nope, try again.
>>
>>253285389
Because other than the city it's just instances. You never see more than a handful of people ever, there are no open zones or anything
>>
>>253285389
because it's zone-based (+probably servers) - it's not an open world in any sense.
>>
>>253285389
Everything is instanced.
>>
>tfw wildstar will never go f2p
Feels good.
>>
>>253285389
It's a lobby based online with shared cities. It's peer2peer.

It's like monster hunter but the "server select screen" is a city with people running around doing nothing.

It's not an MMO by gameplay definition.

I played Entropia for a while.

It's pretty weird really. It can be great, but it can also be brutal and make you feel down.

It's REALLY hard to get anywhere without investing actual money into it, too. I was lucky that I ended up in a position where I offered "mining services" for other people and would get a small cut from the profits.

How is the playerbase and community stuff?

One thing MMOs really need is a good sense of community interaction
>>
>>253286929
A lot more mature than any other MMO, since everything is playing/earning real money all the time. Tons of 30+ year olds.

>tfw sitting on like 820 ped I can't cash out because need 1000 ped before you can do that

F2P games are for poorfags and children. Any adult would want to avoid any form of cash shop. This is fact.

EU probably has the best community of all MMO's, because it consists of mostly adults. Sure, there are kids and some retards, but they make only a small % of the whole community. Assholes and retards are dealt with quickly by community and they end up forced to create a new account (which is against the game's EULA).
>>
Alright, there are a bunch of toddlers in this thread who probably started playing videogames with the 7th generation who need to be educated a little.

The MMO is a genre that has no limits of who you can interact with/play with at the same time, other than how big the fanbase is.

In an MMO, every single player playing the game can go to the same shared zone and play the game.

If you can't do this in a videogame, it's not an MMO. Lobby based games are DESIGNED to have hard caps of 10/20/32/64 players.

If additional players are playing, they cannot physically connect to that server, because it's not designed to accomodate for more players than the game-mode limit.

Thus, it's not an MMO, but a lobby-based multiplayer game.

There is no rule or limitation as to how many players can or should enter a shared zone in an MMO. It's "as many as they feel like it". Yes, instanced maps exists, but they are not the entirety of the game maps/modes. They are also cancerous things within the MMO realm, but that is another story.

Hopefully some babies learned something new today.

Rift was okay despite the super bland lore and basically being a streamlined version of WoW. Though there were leveling and other boosters available it felt like the game was still designed around playing without them. You'd just end up skipping most of the quests, dungeons and areas if you used real money shit.

The only thing that bothered me about the game was that you'd have to buy P2W credits with real money (the smallest few € amount was enough) before being able to use the auction house to sell items. Stuff like that kills player based economy.

Our group of friends had a good amount of fun with it until one of them got the bright idea that we all should start playing ASSFAGGOTS
>>
>>253287472

But that's where most of the fun resides. Doing odd-jobs for some cash and meeting cool people. And the game is not about dudes only, it has a LOT of women playing. I know several people who married IRL thanks to that game.
One tragic story is about NeverDie and IslandGirl you can google that up.

Beta for Russia is soon (Or now I think?) and that's about it. There's speculation for Q3-4 2014 or Q1-2 2015 so pretty much anytime from now it could be done. From what I gather, they're genuinely just looking to sort a publisher for the Western game.
>>
>>253287908

I don't know about the content, I just looked some combat videos and it really looks good.

I don't even give a fuck if it'll be a grinding fest or anything else, I just want a game to play with two friends of mine.

We enjoyed Tera but dropped it. I can't remember why tough
>>
>>253287909
No, they are all shit because they are designed to attract the facebook userbase in order to survive, since they only focus on huge budget ones.

When you have to dumb down a game to that level, the game ends up being shit. It's really natural.

Republic Commando
Force Unleashed
Force Unleashed II
Jedi Academy
Republic Heroes (Fuck you, I liked the Clone Wars show)
The three SNES games (Super, S:TESB, S:ROTJ)

Again I chose SWTOR for just 'more' Star Wars. Other than shitty console games for DS & PS2, are there any good games for PC I'm missing?

Pretty sure WoW, FFXI and Ragnarok Online profited more than any F2P MMO to date, being active for 5-15 years worldwide on a sub system.

F2P is only profitable for the low-tier irrelevant games, it saves them from extiction. When the other option is shutting down, F2P is better.

if you wanna go with a adventure focused mmo, dat being said, expect to drop some money every 10-15 levels(for quest packs and expansions) or grind almost as much as a korean mmo

>rift
if you wanna play wow, but you are bored of azeroth.
its does have a couple of new class ideas, but most of the variety is kinda worthless, since theres only 3-4 souls that are actually worth playing in your build.

>star trek online
ship combat is amazing, ground combat is horrible.
that being said, its pretty fun, problem is the fun is in leveling and the story missions. once you hit level cap, there isnt a lot to do besides grind for min-max gear.

>neverwinter
combat is more actiony, and classes feel unique. how ever most of the game revolves around "group questing" and I use that term loosely as there arent any predetermined roles and your contribution to the fights are barely noticable. pvp is dominated by control wizards.

>swtor
most of the story missions are "pants on head" retarded. dont expect to have much fun as f2p suffer heavy restrictions. mainly you are only able to run 5 dungeons or pvp battleground a week. f2p players dont get to raid. combat and classes are very similiar if not a complete clone of WoW

>runescape
if your focus is more on socializing and playing with the economy. its a poor mans eve online with a little bit of theme park thrown in. dont except amazing animations.

>secret world
the story and atmosphere are amazing, the combat is shit. most of the fun from the game is gonna be found in investigation missions and some of the dungeons. pvp is an interesting concept, but it usually boils down to everyone using swords.


word of advice, stay the fuck away from SWTOR. even if your a huge sw fan, its a painfully generic game with horrible writing all around.

id recommend lotro if you want something new yet strangely familiar.
secret world if you like modern day setting and like hearing about lore and 10/10 character dialog

Can you see people playing the game as they move through the maps, those who are not in your party specifically? Thought so.

It's not an MMO. It's an online action RPG.

See where they only say "online"? If it was massively multiplayer online, they would have written MMO action rpg.

>>253300535
People praise it for the sieges. If GW2's WvWvW didn't interest you, chances are you will hate Aion.

If you thought that the WvWvW was too chaotic and you wished for it to be in a more controlled environment (like 30v30 only), then you may like its siege mode.

Other than endgame, it's generic MMO with generic fetch/kill quest and stand in one place autoattacking all game.

That's about it.

Well the ground combat is fairly boring, but if it's the space combat that you found tedious, then I don't believe it'll get any better for you.

If you haven't gotten to the space bits yet, I recommend sticking with it, as you'll be spending a good 70% of your time blowing ships up.

That's because koreans largely play all their games on internet cafes, the government actually funds developers and online publishers to make those game free available at cafes.

This is why we see singleplayer action games with online in korea, and players who come from a different place will get baited/confused by the existance of those, because we rarely play in internet cafes.

Yes, this game could be so fucking great if it wasn't for the fact that newcomers have no hope of ever in their life catching up to people who have been playing the game for a while. Powerlevel is 100% equivalent to time spent in the game.

I love everything about the game except for this fact, it could be fucking perfect.

Are MMOs that go F2P and die off slowly making their money back on development and the like?

I mean did RIFT turn a positive profit before obscurity?
>>
>>253302449
So noobs going around being punished for being shit at the game by paying money is not P2W?

You are pretty desperate there.
>>
>>253284137
That's because P2W has an huge (and I would argue, detrimental) effect on the game development and design. If you design your MMO in the standard way, letting everyone experience the same difficulty curve and tools then players have no incentive to give you money. So you have to do things to get them to give you money. This usually involves making the difficulty/experience curve shit enough that players can't be bothered to grind it out and will pay you money to speed it up. Or it involves taking away tools and things players can do unless they pay you money. Either way is shit and ruins the game.

P2W games are just bad simulations of real life.

The combat was very boring back when I played. Beside shit ping problems, it devolved into spamming one or two skills until the enemy blocked, then guard crush and continue spamming your skill(s). There was basically no real force feedback either.

That only works at the beginning. Later on when you own multiple skillsets it changes.

If you play the game u will notice that 50% resource boost doesn't matter because at first levels you need to wait 20 minutes or more to spawn another tank, aircraft... and the only form to decrease this spawn time is with certifications (obtainable only by playing)

Has line dungeons, has quest rewards for beating said dungeons, and the developers openly stated that those rewards are worth obtaining.

Sounds like you fought some bad people. Spin2win can be punished because there'll be a small timeframe during which red armour has run out but the animation has not yet ended allowing you to set up any combo you like.

I mean, sure, in group fights aka guild wars and school wars it's still the most OP skill ever, but I mostly played the game for small scale pvp and duelling.

Talking about small scale pvp the fact that people abused the fuck to get out of bounties with alts pissed me off quite a bit.

It's the same faggots who think that monks are not broken in PvP because you have 2 frames to disjoint their attack that kills every class in one shot, with a specific item that takes up one accessory slot. And that is assuming that you are not statused.

you can kill with the starter weapons with the same number of bullets that with one that cost 1000 certs.
