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.

    • Starlink Mobile Is Coming for AT&T and Verizon: SpaceX Has Spectrum, Still Needs Towers

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      Stop asking people that. It's a "No True Scotsman" argument in that you are attempting to discredit the opinions of a person by Attacking the Messenger. The reason that these are logical fallacies is the TRUTH is based on facts as supported by evidence. Nothing else. So, always debate the facts with evidence to reach the truth. Once you learn to do this, you'll be able to recognize when people are fearmongering and lying to you for their own selfish ends.

      It doesn't matter if you didn't directly hear it from person X or Y. Every one of your statements comes straight from the racist, skinhead, anti-immigrant, be afraid of everything, "they are all taking our jobs", etc. etc. mouthpieces. That's where Farag and Putin heard it from too...and used it against the UK. So, while you keep disavowing the people who publicly peddled that position, you keep proving over and over again that those lies influenced you into being tricked when the Brexit vote came around too. In fact, your final sentence makes it crystal clear that it was the racist/anti-immigrant lies you fell and voted for, since you stated that you didn't have an issue with the economic trade issues with the EU. Ahem. To be clear, all of these LIES are EONS old, mate. They are the same fearmongering lies peddled to the same ignorant, gullible cowards by the same charlatans, snake-oil salesmen, and would be demagogues who've been doing this since caveman Ugh lied about his slightly different neighbor in order to steal his land. And, finally, you answered your own previous question. The reason that the EU isn't clamoring to bring the UK back is that they have had enough of people who would rather shoot themselves in the foot than get over their "insecurity issues". It's the same reason the entire world is moving away from the USA as fast as it can...
