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.

    • Autonomous post-training loop placed 8th of 4,000 and then rewrote its own evaluation strategy. An autonomous AI system built by researchers at Amazon's A-EVO-Lab completed a full post-training run on a 30 billion parameter NVIDIA Nemotron model — with no human in the loop, across four rounds running over multiple weeks — and then did something its designers had not planned for: it detected that its own internal evaluation metric had become misleading and redesigned the search strategy it was using to improve itself. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/319123/20260626/nvidia-ai-trained-itself-30b-model-corrected-its-own-broken-metric-mid-run.htm

    • If Ford would stop hiring SUITS to run the company, and put CAR GUYS back in charge perhaps they could do better. Heck, the only CAR they produce today is the Mustang. Hey Ford! Not everyone needs/wants an overpriced SUV or pickup truck that is so tall you have to have a step ladder to get in and out of it.
    • Amazing how some will just jump all over something. Probably the same people that thought Musk was a "tech god" before he saddled up with "bad orange man". Before, they worshiped at his feet, including a lot of so called hollywood types. Now, because he fell off the plantation truck, they toss him under the bus.
