The most prolific subgenre in the free-to-play market is undoubtedly the MMORPG. With hundreds of games released every year and more retail games including a F2P model, it’s sometimes hard to distinguish the best of them from the rushed or overhyped.
Here is a Top 10 of the best free MMORPGs available in 2012.
Aion 2 launches globally in 2025 with Unreal Engine 5, revamped combat, PvE focus, and a fresh take on the classic MMO experience.
Gameforge wants to maintain a level playing field for users and mitigate any P2W elements that may disrupt the integrity of Runes of Magic.
New raids, class updates, festivals and more are on the calendar.
Now this makes me feel old! I remember playing the beta while I worked at Gamestop. I honestly didn't even know this game was still online! A quick search showed that it's even F2P now, so I may check it out for nostalgia's sake.
I only subbed at launch for 1-2 months bc I was already caught up in WoW at the time. I love the LotR universe though and would like to see how it's being handled these days.
Aren't most MMOs F2P these days?
My vote would go Star Trek Online and LotRO.
