Is there any semi decent MMO that is entirely free?
It can even be an old MMO with 50 players. I have a lot of free time and would like to experience one. The only condition being it’s for free.

What do you enjoy doing in MMOs?
Still wondering
LOTRO is technically not free but you can get tons of their currency by grinding lame tasks like "kill 80 wolves in area xyz" and you can buy anything with the currency
They also made the currency cap remover free relatively recently, I remember back in the day when you had to either pay for it with your TP from deeds or subscribe for a month
To unlock swift travel you still have to have played a character while subscribed, but I only ever used it for boat trips in Evendim. Riding from place to place on horseback was immersive, but swimming across the in-world equivalent of Lake Erie every time I wanted to get back to Tinnudir wasn't
>tfw in Evendim right now with no fast travel unlocked
do you even swim, bro?
t.took an alt from Dunland down the rivers of Rohan to enter Moria from the front door, still don't have legendary weapons unlocked
Two options on this board
>Vidyascape
>Everquest Project 1999
I've been meaning to check out LOTRO, SWTOR, GW2 as F2P options myself, though I can't speak on how restricted you are or aren't without paying
GW2 literally is one of the best f2p mmos. Obviously you can’t do the expansions if you’re f2p but you can do so much and it feels like it’s own game. There is just so much content. Also expansion is totally worth buying because there is no monthly subscription crap; you buy once and that’s it.
I’m not a fan of GW2 but really love their payment model
Guild Wars 2 F2P is a glorified trial and you do not want to play that game in the longterm as a F2P. It's only there for you to try it out, everyone saying otherwise is a shill. No trading, no private messaging anyone not in your friend list, no map chat, no expansions and Living World which are basically the mainline game content updates, no ingame currency to premium currency exchange, no fricking nuthin. If you're not planning to pay for GW2 - only go for F2P if you're gonna treat it like a low quality singleplayer game that you'll do a playthrough of and forget about afterwards.
How dead is it these days? I haven't checked it in months, and haven't been actually playing for even longer after my main account got permabanned, but whenever I decide to hop on and shitpost in Global I always see it dead with no conversations in sight.
>How dead is it these days?
It's twitching, but I wouldn't call it alive
About a half or even a third of what it used to be when I played. I'd feel bad for it had it not been in the hands of LO.
can I get a redpill on LO I see they have fallen earth and apb?
I don't know a whole ton about them, but what I do know is that they are fond of buying out abandonware and trying to make something of it that can be sold and played. This includes gamersfirst games like FE and APB, some literal kickstarter scam fantasy RPG called Unsung Story, and some others. The goal itself seems noble, especially since FE Classic has no way of making money since they refused to add back the cash shop so they're basically bleeding money for the less than 100 autists still playing this thing, but the way they've been handling makes me unsympathetic towards them.
Hiring players to be chat jannies is one of the issues, not only because I hate chat moderation, but also because 1) That's literally the only thing an unpaid volunteer GM is allowed to do - be a chat jannie (no helping players fix bugs, and they don't even know shit about the game to give tips), and 2) There can never be a good GM if he's an unpaid volunteer, because then all you get is power hungry trannies, and I quite literally got a blatant admission out of one of the jannies that he does it for the power trip.
Another thing is that their ToS is your typical modern carebear slop where you can't call people morons or even excessively swear if it makes some homosexual uncomfortable enough. In case you never played Fallen Earth - the game has ample profanity including nu-age slurs like moron in its very fricking ingame dialog, not to mention the overall vibe of a game where a PvE crafter is actively encouraged to make excursions into PvP zones for rare materials.
Overall I see just another corporate entity in them.
Dungeons and Dragons Online
EverQuest
Guild Wars 2
Oh, and Lotro!
>It can even be an old MMO with 50 players
That wouldn't be an MMO then now would it?
Wait for LOTRO and DDO to do their giveaways, I have like 90% of LOTRO for free and like 70% of DDO for free.
would recommend phantasy star online community servers, like ephinea or ultima. it's completely free and a wonderful social experience, if a bit of a repetitive gameplay experience
mabinogi
i don't understand the free thing
if you're gonna spend 40 hours a week doing something for months on end a 50$ game comes out to fractions of a penny per hour
there's no cheaper form of entertainment
Elder scrolls online.
This shit requires over 140 GBs to install. I am still uninstalling and deleting shit off my computer to get it to fricking run. I am only trying this because i got it for free, otherwise, this is aids.
Boring ugly game
Fallen Earth Classic
>can't do viable mutations only build
The only reason i dropped it honestly.
The only reason I dropped it goes back to when it was live before classic. Used to be you could craft anything with found/harvested bits, then it went f2p and they changed some things to be purchased from vendors only and I lost interest entirely as I really enjoyed surviving purely on scavenged and crafted gear. They messed up a bundle of other stuff on going f2p too but that was less important to me than the crafting changes.
Eldevin exists. It looks like Runescape. The devs abandoned it years ago but they keep the lights on. It is laughably dead though.

Have the devs said why they're keeping it alive and for how long?
The devs don't communicate.
City of Heroes
It's Super Heroes and Super Villains in a modern city setting.

Amazing how for all shit homecoming gets it is still the only sane way to play coh/cov.
Yes.

Pokemmo is free as frick, and very fun. Once you do all the game story lines you can PvP, grind for shinies, breed for IVs, sell/flip items and pokemon, etc. Johto is coming out soon which will allow for even more shiny farming access via swarms of pokemon that previously had no swarms. Only thing missing really is hardcore PvE content like dungeons / raids, which they have already talked about adding.
Pokemmo is a lgbt shithole that will ban you quickly
Old MMOs no longer exist, closest option is Mabinogi
Mabinogi is actually still connected to the same company that started it years ago, but the in-game atmosphere has obviously changed with the updates
I have been playing for years and haven't even been muted
Maybe you should stop acting as if you were on Ganker everywhere you go anon
>Ganker
You get banned for speaking out against the rainbow groomers or talking about race in most boards, this shitpit, dying site is not that free for all that you no-opinion-having oldheads paint it to be.
That guy isn't an "oldhead" or resembles anything "old".
Chronicles of Arcadia aka Runes of Magic 2.0
>Runes of Magic 2.0
Is it really? I don't remember Runes of Magic looking this dated.
Eh 2.0 just means they added some custom content. And say what you want but doing all the zone quests for titles is seriously addicting. Plus music is pure kino. 2nd best mmo soundtrack afrer Guild Wars.

might still download and try lol - not OP, thanks
Return of Reckoning: Warhammer Online has an active community with continual updates. It's been around for a long time. I jump in every so often.
what game is that?
Nida Online
To piggy back off of this, is there any free/pay-to-own MMO that doesn't have a glaring flaw in terms of basic content? To go over a few
>2007scape
Points for skilling being everywhere and the content of the quests, for both how they use items from the rest of the game and the setpieces/puzzles in them, but Runescape c. 2007 has frick all real multiplayer content. Just trading, the Wildy, and minigames.
>WoW Vanilla Private Server
Enjoyable combat, world PvP is breasts, and it's fun to quest with other people, but it's all just walking through vistas and killing mobs. There's little else beyond combat and progress bars for "gameplay," and the quests are 90% just "go here, kill these mobs, come back."
>Elder Scrolls Online
Major points for having some of the most actual gameplay for individual things, but while Cyrodiil PvP is serviceable and quests can have okay presentation, most quests are still very simple, and multiplayer might as well not even exist outside of designated zones.
Lord British World of Hookers and Blackjack
At this point you can hit up any private server or classic MMO Discord, tell them you're new, and you're almost guaranteed to find people who are willing to play with and help you.
If you're looking for "entirely" free to play private servers are your best bet. FFXI and SWG have some really good options. Fallen Earth Classic is a really cool game and the cash shop is cosmetic. Pic related is a really comfy game I always go back to, but loot boxes may turn you off.
+1 for Fallen Earth. True hidden gem that never got the attention it deserved by mmo autists. Legit better than Fallout 76 mechanically, atmospherically, rpg elements, etc.

Vscape, an 07 Runescape private server that also has a thread here in multiplayer

What does entirely free mean? F2P with no way to even upgrade to a premium version or buy cosmetics? With 50 players total? How does the developer pay the bills if it's entirely free?
Is that an mmo or just a dedicated server?
f2p means that you don't have to pay a sub, or anything, to access the server. The 'devs' usually accept donations as their main form of income and many private servers are ran for-profit, e.g., WoW.
Anyone played Star Trek Online recently to tell how is the experience currently?
Mirage Realms
There's this nip mmo that got rebooted and seems to be free. https://harezora.moonrabi.jp/ It was released as Spirit Tales/Glory Destiny Online in the west.
Here is the list of good mmo you can play:
The Burning Crusade
Wrath of the Lich king
Cataclysm
Guild wars (1 not 2)
Toram Online
The Ruins of the Lost Kingdom Chronicle
Phantasy Star Online Blue Burst
Vindictus (ok it's not a good mmo overal but playing one time just to complete the story is worth due the fantastic gameplay)
For any question just ask me
I almost forgot:
Dungeon Fighter Online
Continent of the Ninth Seal
