What F2P is everyone playing?


Recommended Posts

Aion isn't really a grindfest anymore to be honest, they fixed that a while back. Population is decent as well, and there are a lot less bot spam than when the game first released. It's actually probably better than WoW's bot-spam to be honest. Only thing that's bothersome a bit with Aion is leveling up an alt. Not exactly as much fun re-visiting the zones. That's why I found it hard to get back into when I came back to the game. It's interesting though how the classes can play out though, breaking traditional ideas of who's allowed to tank and such.

Agreed, Aion's definitely not bad for a freebie, still play it off and on, it's a lot better than it used to be and a lot of fun. Just need to keep in mind that it's a PvP oriented game if you're the "carebear" type of player.. first time getting gang raped by a group of enemy sorcerers is an "interesting" experience.

DDO's not too bad either, but that one is a lot more limiting on what you can do as a free player.

Aion also suffers from 60 hotkey syndrome...

DDO isn't bad either, no doubt. The puzzles in their games are pretty cool too, I thought. They run by Turbine now, as I understand it, and Turbine's cash shop is always in your face, just like in LotRO. :s

Never played and I will never play a F2P title: I find the idea stupid, the content mean, the "economy" behind it insulting. I want to pay for my games, games I can own on my computer and that's all.

I used to play Allods which at the time I thought was excellent and the graphics were superb for a f2p. I still talk to a few people that play it and apparently it has a decent community now and they have loads of in-game events and stuff.

I beta tested Allods and LOVED it!! Problem is once you got high up, you had to really buy things or you couldn't progress. It was a great game starting out though.

Same thing with Runes of Magic... If you want a REAL WOW clone, Runes of Magic is it hands down.. Overall fantastic game but cash shop heavy. Even for mounts you had to pay back when I played it.

Let me know if you find one though, I may go play with ya. I have been thinking about getting back into MMO's

I have a boxed copy of Runes of Magic that I never installed (Gifted by the same friend that is gifting me Guild Wars 2), I have a voucher for lots of free stuff along with a lot of free Diamonds. I just never took the time to check it out. As for Allods, I've been keeping an eye on it. It looks like a very polished game, but have been skeptical about end game being too cash shop heavy. It'd be awesome to have someone to team up with though, so I'd be awesome if you wanted to play together :) Which game would you prefer?

Team Fortress 2 is F2P now for the most part, but I've been playing it since launch.

Same here. Over the years I'm gotten burned out on it. Though the new Co-Op Mann vs Machine looks interesting.

    • Limited Prime Day deal sees Amazon Echo Show 11 is at its lowest price yet by Ivan Jenic The Amazon Echo Show 11 is currently $149.99 on Amazon during Prime Day, down from $219.99. That's 32% off and $70 saved on Amazon's newest mid-size smart display (purchase link below). As its name suggests, the Echo Show 11 features a 11” Full-HD touchscreen, which is a decent upgrade over the Echo Show 8. It offers 60% more viewing area, which makes a genuine difference for recipes, calendars, video calls, or any other scenario where the smaller display can feel a bit cramped. The Show 11 is built around Alexa+, Amazon's more capable AI assistant that can handle natural conversation. You can make reservations, order groceries, and find content based on your preferences, instead of always having to give it precise commands. There’s also the Omnisense technology, which adds ambient awareness, allowing the device to trigger routines based on temperature, presence detection, or visual cues. Smart home control is built in without needing a separate hub, and the home screen doubles as a photo slideshow when not in use. Taking all of this into account, the Show 11 is a perfect smart addition to your kitchen counter or living room. At $149.99, this is a strong Prime Day buy for anyone already in the Amazon ecosystem or looking to build one out.
