Raeyliff 0 Posted December 18, 2014 #1 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 Hey guys, So I'm looking for a good Free to Play MMORPG, and by Free to Play I mean no Pay To Win and no subscription. I know it's a hard question to ask cuz usually the best MMORPGs are usually for money and have subscriptions, but if you know one then that would be great! Thanks! PS: Just to make it clear, by Pay to Win I mean I have to pay to get items like armor and weapons and such to continue through the game or having to pay to go through a place. A game where there's no chance for you to win or a very, extremely low chance for you to win without paying would be considered Pay to Win. Just saying this now so that there are not discussions later about what I meant about it. Quote Report Link to post Share on other sites

Raeyliff 0 Posted December 19, 2014 Author #3 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 I've tried Mabinogi and it's awesome! But I really couldn't understand it...that was my problem with it. Quote Report Link to post Share on other sites
Calrex 0 Posted December 19, 2014 #4 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 The two MMOs I play are Elsword and Warframe (PS4). I've been playing Elsword for a couple years now and it's pretty fun. You don't need to buy good armor using real money, it just takes some more time to get a hold of them. I do pay occasionally, but that's mainly just for cosmetic changes to my character's equipment. Warframe is the same, and is actually a lot more about skill than it is about having better armor. The planets and levels are set so that you can kind of tell which ones you'd be likely to survive. Also it's about technologically advanced space ninjas. Both are more towards player vs. encounter than player vs. player. Quote Report Link to post Share on other sites
Aedan 0 Posted December 27, 2014 #5 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 Do you guys know a F2P MMO that doesn't have too high system requirements? Quote Report Link to post Share on other sites
Raeyliff 0 Posted December 27, 2014 Author #6 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 The problem with MMORPGs these days is the following: -Pay To Win (Everyone hates those) -Subscriptions (Only if the game's expensive enough or if it's supposedly Free to Play but you're suddenly in front of a large brick wall called "Subsciptions") - High System Requirements (Not everyone has the gaming laptop/computer of their dreams) - Buy to Play (Only if you want a Free to Play game) - Free to Play games since they usually suck and/or are one of the above. That doesn't go for all F2P MMORPGs out there, but it summarizes a bit of most of the MMORPG problems gamers have. As I said before, I tried to play Mabinogi, I enjoyed it, I stopped playing it cuz I didn't really understand what to do and where to go and who to talk to and then I just got too confused to continue.

Aedan 0 Posted December 27, 2014 #7 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 Aren't TERA and Aion F2P? They might have too high system reqs but i'm pretty sure they are F2P. Quote Report Link to post Share on other sites
Raeyliff 0 Posted December 28, 2014 Author #8 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 I am wondering if there's anything else... Quote Report Link to post Share on other sites
Aedan 0 Posted December 28, 2014 #9 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 RIFT, LOTRO? There's gotta be somthing... Quote Report Link to post Share on other sites
Raeyliff 0 Posted December 28, 2014 Author #10 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 Neverwinter is Free to Play. Guild Wars is Buy to Play so it's not Free to Play, but its pretty good. World of Warcraft is Subscription and buying.... Wait a second... After researching both LOTRO and RIFT I have found that Rift is possibly closer to exactly the kind of game that we want. Looking at Lord of the Rings Online it sounds cool and all and both games have very positive reviews as well. not to mention both around the 84-86 metacritic reviews- but there's a bit more talk of it having raids and instances that need money from you. Yeah...there's a VIP mode for accounts on LOTRO. As for expansion packs, both have only about 4-5, and Rift's packs, compared to LOTRO, are a bit more expensive. Rift's most expensive pack is 100 or so dollars while the highest thing for LOTRO is around 20 dollars and that's the total for all their expansion packs. Seeing all of this, I don't really know...

Aedan 0 Posted December 28, 2014 #11 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 Also RIFT's class system is really customizeable i heard. I played LOTRO for like a month, and the main Q line follows the LOTR storyline. Also there is a family system, you can adopt other players and whatnot. Quote Report Link to post Share on other sites
Raeyliff 0 Posted December 28, 2014 Author #12 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 I see.... Well, I can't really tell. I mean, is this expansion pack thing really important or is it not needed? What we can do is take each game and play it for ourselves and see how its like. So, I play LOTRO and you play RIFT, and at the end of the day we go back and record what we think of this game. Maybe after a week of playing the game or so. Quote Report Link to post Share on other sites
Aedan 0 Posted December 28, 2014 #13 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 Mission accepted. I'll start downloading RIFT. Update 1: RIFT forces to you to download another steam like program Glyph. That's a minus for me, I really don't like when they do this. Quote Report Link to post Share on other sites
Raeyliff 0 Posted December 28, 2014 Author #14 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 Mission began: Lord of the Rings Online. Note: My laptops a bit old and doesn't really have a lot of space as it is. I had to delete some stuff from my laptop including Skyrim for it to work and now that I have 13 GB free I can only hope that they don't all get swallowed up. Also my internet's been bad the past few days so... Beginning to download (Day 0) Quote Report Link to post Share on other sites
Aedan 0 Posted December 28, 2014 #15 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 Update 2: Goddamn, it registered like a hour ago and this Glyph thing still didn't send the code to download it. Quote Report Link to post Share on other sites
Raeyliff 0 Posted December 28, 2014 Author #16 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 It's taking too much off of my laptop already. I only have 5 of the 13 gb that I had free. Might have to drop out and give this mission to someone else. Quote Report Link to post Share on other sites
Aedan 0 Posted December 28, 2014 #17 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 My comupters pretty old too but I don't have any games on it right now so I can take it. I refuse to continue the RIFT mission because that freakin email. Quote Report Link to post Share on other sites
Raeyliff 0 Posted December 28, 2014 Author #18 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 Oh okay Jubei...Guess I'll have to quit...this laptop can't handle games anymore anyway...meh. I guess we'll never really find something. Quote Report Link to post Share on other sites
Aedan 0 Posted December 28, 2014 #19 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 Well you can always go on popular private servers for games with sub. *evillaugh* I was sooo hyped for TES:Online and when I found out it was sub I went berserk. Quote Report Link to post Share on other sites
Raeyliff 0 Posted December 28, 2014 Author #20 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 Me too! But to buy a gaming laptop that can actually meet its requirements, plus buying the game, plus paying subscription fee....a bit too much.. Quote Report Link to post Share on other sites
