I want to find a one time fee Massively Multiplayer game.

Guildwars and, when it comes out, Guildwars 2.

Guild Wars 2, yes.

That is the 'expansion' in the real definition of an expansion. It requires Prophecies (Vanilla), Factions, or Nightfall to play it. I would buy that and one of the main expansions because EotN contains the Hall of Monuments which gives you unlocks for GW2 when it comes out.

Or, you could also check out http://www.mmorpg.com . Love that place.

I'm currently downloading Pirates of the Burning Sea, now that I found out it's free. Everybody loves pirates. I'll be sure to post if it's any fun at all.

I also intend to get Guild Wars; as for the date, according to Wikipedia GW2 is likely to come out next year.

Terrible game as far as I can recall, though keep in mind this was quite a few months ago.


Free MMO's, from absolute best to absolute worst that I've played (within the last 2 months- I won't include those that I haven't picked up again outside of that timeframe because MMOs, as all things, change with time):

1. DDO. Awesome, epic game. I know, you see "Dungeons and Dragons... Online?!?!" and you're instantly just wondering "why?". Let me explain- its Dungeon and Dragons rules + Oblivion gameplay... in an MMO package. Absolutely epic.

2. EVE Online. Technically not free, but since you're already prepared to pay a 1-time fee, this is worth a look. With a 21 day trial (PM someone from the EVE division or myself, and we can send you a 21 day trail instead of 14- just be sure to include your email in that PM and to *not* make an account until you get the invite link on your email), and 2-3 months of subscription time, you can become self-sufficient in this game and make more isk a month than it costs you to buy plex and extend your gametime for 30 more days. Also, this game is epic in every regard, + if you have a decent rig you can drool at the graphics. It used to be breathtaking at medium, now at 1080p + Max everything its just sheer "wow" factor.

3. Runes of Magic- This ranks 3rd on this little list because, simply put, it isn't free. As a free player you can cap, you can do everything a paying player can until then, but endgame raids are impossible without spending some real cash somewhere. And with \the last estimates (without sales/discounts) being in the 200$ range a piece of perfect gear... yea, not for the faint of heart. Still fun getting there though!

4. Requiem: Momento Mori- Played this since day 1 of closed beta- it had potential in s1, serious potential. s2... hurt that significantly, but I was still playing it- now, its horrible. I suppose if you want, its decent (do *not* play Valdes server unless you like crashes), but considering that without me, there are now only 4 other "relics" (people who've played since closed beta), that should be a decent indicator to stay away.


Anyways, that's all the MMO's I've played recently enough to be able to comment on them- hopefully more will come out, still waiting on Guild Wars 2 and D3.

Maplestory! (Free)

Now that I've played it for a while I'll say that although I would change a lot of things about it if I could, it's still a decent game and fairly unique. Not something I'll play for years, but it should last me a couple weeks at least

Also, assuming they don't break the gameplay while making it free-to-play, Champions Online should be pretty fun once it becomes free. Judging by my experience in the trial, the comic book atmosphere in it is pretty cool, and the character customization is great.

Vindictus, LoTRO, Guild Wars

Vindictus is really really good Lotro is a great one for any Lotr fan and I've never played GW but I hear its great, all of these are highly recommended

Free MMO's I usually stay away from (as of recently MMO's in general) because they just aren't as good as the pay MMO's. With them requiring so much time to advance, I hate putting time into a game when the plug could be pulled at any time or have major issues that won't be fixed.

Games like Lord of the Rings Online is free up until a certain point, and other games mentioned in this thread are free to play for a trial period.

Guild Wars doesn't have a monthly fee, but you still have to pay to buy the game so it's not totally free but one of the best 'free' ones.

Guild Wars Get it! so we can play
