By now you’re probably sick and tired of hearing about all these lists of “the best free to play MMO games” and up-and-coming MMO’s that are taking the market by storm.

More than likely you don’t want to hear more of the same, so the list below will feature some highly innovative MMO’s that also happen to be free-to-play. Since there’s a great deal of free MMO’s out there, only the best free to play MMO games 2013-2014 will be included.

WArframe isnt a mmo. Just saying.

Gamer1874084d ago

It's not a Massively Multiplayer Online game . That's weird I'm pretty sure it is

porkChop4084d ago

Warframe is not an MMO in any way, it's just a F2P coop game.

lightcaster884084d ago

Warframe is an MMO because you can connect and play online with hundreds of other players without leaving your house. They are constantly adding new updates and areas where more players can join and interact, like guild Dojos and stuff. They consider Gunz the Dual and S4 League as MMO games, so in my opinion Warframe is just as much an MMO as the other two...

I love how War Thunder is nowhere to be found.

ExCest4084d ago (Edited 4084d ago )

I know right. The thing is, are War Thunder, World of Tanks, and World of Warplanes even considered MMO's? They don't have persistent worlds or whatnot that usually describe an MMO. The term is pretty vague but I wouldn't put them under the tag.

lightcaster884084d ago (Edited 4084d ago )

Yes they are massive multiplayer online games. War thunder is in a massive world and play area is it not? And can you play online multiplayer with other people over the internet? Yes. You can also make guilds and level up so those are MMO elements.

In fact, one of the options that they are currently working on is the "World war" mode, and if it is what it sounds like you would be playing in one giant area against other players at the same time. I would say they are all MMO games.

@lightcaster88

You see, here's the ambiguity of the term "MMO". By the description you gave, wouldn't Battlefield, a game that definitely isn't an MMO, be defined as an MMO? Does it have a "massive" world and play area? Sure. Do you play it multiplayer over the internet? Sure. Can you make guilds and level up? Sure, but those guilds are called Platoons.

War Thunder seems more like the arena arcade game (I'm talking about arena mode. The simulation mode is... well, simulation). Like Hawken. Like World of Tanks. Like World of Warplanes.

I personally believe MMO should only refer to games with persistent worlds like your usual MMORPG's or the rare FPS like Planetside. That definition seems to describe what we normally see an MMO to be better than just "it has a lot of players in one place".

webeblazing4084d ago

ALICE6664084d ago (Edited 4084d ago )

I didnt even know TERA went free to play. I bought it back in the days and I liked the combat mechanics but not enough to like the game overall to pay a monthly sub. So cheers for the notice might have to go recheck it out. :P

Xristo4084d ago

RIFT has one of the best F2P systems.

Stick894084d ago

Agreed! Sad it's not on the list :/

I have been playing Warframe for a few years, and it is one of the best free-to-play games of all time. Normally in progression style free-to-play games, the developers put in artificial barriers to force you to spend money, but that does not happen in Warframe. What makes this better is that premium currency can be traded. That is unheard of in other free-to-play games.

If you are looking for a free-to-play live service game to play, then I recommend Warframe. Just proceed with the expectation that the game does not do a good job of explaining its systems or progression, so you will need to follow a youtuber who is dedicated to that game to help you out. In addition to that, the game is grindy but does not have some insanely low drop rate, so there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I think the lowest item drop rate is around 5.88%, not the 0.00000002% you see in other free-to-play games. There are also hordes of enemies, so it is not too difficult to get what you need. It is also rare to farm for something with such a low drop rate. These days I find myself farming the stuff with a 15-20% drop rate.
