Try PlanetSide 2 again. The game keeps changing a great deal.
You'll find it somewhere by El Dorado and the fountain of youth probably.
I've tried literally hunderds of MMOs. Trust me, none are worth it currently, but there are a few to keep an eye on that will hopefully be out soon. If you find some that make you interested you can just post here and ask whats my experience with it. I am a fucking dictionary when it comes to this.
LotRO....Tried that game too. Played for a week then gave up. The combat was your average lame MMO combat. But to its credit , it really was better then some other games in its class for some odd reason. I did end up playin it more then I originally thought.

There really is none. NOOOOONE! Ive tried the same stuff with my friends aswell. Been on this road for long time now. All MMOs suck after playin Warband long enough. All of em. For some time I thought the only proper MMOs would be shipMMOs, or something where you bombard n00bs and stuff. Then atleast you dont have to have some shitty usual mano e mano MMOmeleecombat and dream about Warband while fighting. But those suck too. NFS online was okay for a day or 2. But it definately does not have enough appeal to try and grind it for months or something. You will quit fast I assure you.
because they all try to be wowkiller, which is boring itself. the mmorpgs are as stale as piss, thats why they are not worth playing.
Check Neverwinter! Played it a few hours and quite liked it.
Waste of download time. Game is not worth playing.
'worth it' is a funny phrase to use for a free game xD you don't lose anything by giving something a go.
You can't really get on the whole 'my time is too valuable' high horse on a forum discussion about the best free MMO on the market lol. The idea that those partaking in the discussion have/had some degree of free time is kinda a given lol. We wouldn't be playing these games if that was the case, we wouldn't be playing THIS game if that was the case, and we certainly wouldn't be posting on the forum about it if that was the case.
*edit, not trying to imply noone here has anything better to do, but you gotta figure the guy asking for an MMO to play with their mate has a mind to killing some free time*
Here is a list of good MMORPGs:

Miwiw99 recommends 'Silkroad Online R' if you love the grinding experience
Miwiw99 recommends 'Silkroad Online R' if you love the grinding experience, and also 'Lord of the Rings Online' for casual play if free.
Myself and Gravoth_iii vouch for 'The Old Republic' for fun questing and dialogue options ingame in the Star Wars universe.
Pollux says 'Age of Wushu' for martial arts and PvP stuff.
Clockworkkiller says 'Fallen Earth' for the faction system and open world PvP in post apocalyptic surrounds.
Finuad likes what he's seen of 'Neverwinter' so far (but it's got a lot of flak from others here).
Kafein says 'PlanetSide 2' cos apparently the game keeps changing.
Polobow says 'Mabinogi' is a love-it or hate-it game.
CrazyCracka says 'Ultima Online' and goes into good detail about it's features (too much to list here).
Benkei says 'Lineage 2' for a skill-based 'Asian grinder' with awesome PvP.
Mehhh Ultima Online official servers were good over 10 years ago, like the best MMORPG I ever wasted thousands upon thousands of hours on my life on. But EA began wrecking it and now its nothing like it originally was, i.e when it was good. They added lame features to cater to carebear players who couldnt handle losing their items when they got killed by another player, which could pretty much happen anywhere anytime depending on circumstances. Its probably still good, but it doesnt come close to the harsh pvp game it once was.
There are a few populated custom servers which aim for the old school versions and whilst they do that, the majority of the playerbase are elitist arseholes who roll with a ton of friends, making progress alone or with ppl you barely know, a lot more difficult.
What is with Age of Conan, Is that game still alive?

Been years since I played this. It has a few unique features but very outdated cell-shaded graphics. I can't recall how much of a grind it was. Also AZN/chibi themed, so you mind find that annoying.

I wondered what was up with runescape a month or so ago and decided to make a new char for shits and giggles, ended up playing for three hours! Havent gamed at all since but it was fun, just casually doing some stuff, brought alot of old memories back aswell, recognizingbstuff all around allthough a lot has changed, actually i spend most of my time "sightseeing" and looking up stuff i could remember from t way back
I would recommend turning off all chat filters and set private on friends, good lord the spam made me lag.
They keep throwing "optimization" like it's top priority while it's the same shit for a year now, if not worse.
SmedBux only does this because it probably doesn't even run on a PS4, so he lashes planetside team fiercely to work it out until november, sigh
Long story short, I can't afford to have a nuclear reactor just because of SOE being retards

Lineage 2 has very interesting PvP. Castle sieges, land control, control land control taxes in villages, etc. The main problem here is the grind. And there's a whole lot of fucking grind. Also not that interesting tab target combat.You won't survive too long if you actually tab-target people :wink: In 50 vs 50 vs 50 vs 50 siege you have to pick targets very carefully.

I played retail for like 2 yrs and then switched with my whole clan to a private free server with 50x XP. We all noticed that the time investment became way to high to keep going. So, there is an alternative to the grind :P
Ahh, runescape....good times
How much change have they thrown in? One day, I decided to hop on their homepage for some nostalgia, and the screenshots make it seem like it's totally a different game
Also I hear their making a runescape 2?
Didn't mean tab-target as actually using tab key to get your targets, but as a naming for a combat system - you know, choose your target, spam hotkeys. No aiming required.Oww, I see. Never heard tab-target before tbh. And you won't survive either with spamming hotkeys :D

L2 is much more than that but I am biased anyway.
Then you have very few that actually have a combat system where real aim is required, ala Darkfall Online, Planetside.
Planetside is NOT an MMORPG, it is an MMOFPS FFS, quit lumping it in with actual MMORPG's
It's an MMOFPSRPG, coz u lvlz up and do quests like defend base n stuff man.

Calling Planetside an RPG is like calling a forum post a literary novel because it has words.
"Tab-target" is a common term for games with such combat system (ala Everquest/World of Warcraft), where you lock on to your target (either with a click or tab) and then use hotkeyed abilities that automatically follow/hit the enemy, unable to miss due to player/aiming error, unlike FPS/shooter combat system. Most of MMOs use this system.Maybe because it's easier to implement when you have lots and lots of clients. EVE can hide that kind of stuff better because it's spaceships. OR maybe I just bullshit!
Christo what you need is to start a cRPG role-play drama! With rules! Drama is your kind of thing right?

Are there any MMORPG's out there that have actual aiming or non auto melee combat? Something like fallen earth or darkfall? But free (fallen earth is free but just looking for other things out there)
Please point out where I called it an MMORPG because I exclusively used the term MMO in my previous post
I know the terms so step off
Read the title of your every post! It's like someone asking for a decent FPS and you saying "Well you might try Call of Duty, Battlefield, ARMA, and World of Warcraft"
There's always vindictus... but I'm not sure if it classifies as a MMO.

Who the hell does actual roleplay in an MMO anyways ?Even if you don't, the question whether it's an RPG can only be answered positive if you can. In Planetside, you are a soldier in a war. You cannot play a fisherman or a smith. The role is forced upon you.
The only true MMOFPSRPG was a game called Endless Ages that has already found its final death. It was a game before its time I'm afraid. The only game close to it now is Firefall, and honestly that one bored me to tears.
Darkfall (unholy wars)
Planetside
Haven & Hearth
only mmos currently playable I've enjoyed and would consider playing again.
edit: oh you asked for free & worth playing, asking for too much! haven & hearth is completely free tho.
Who the hell does actual roleplay in an MMO anyways ?
I have found myself RPing in games. but not in mmos and maybe not in the tradional sense.
for example I used to love playing pvkii and talking to my teamates via voip in a pirate accent, or viking etc. I liked rp'ing characters in cRPG, at least in terms of equipment/playstyle; ninja, samurai, viking etc. always more fun than only picking best stat items.
RP servers might have more mature communities, but the sort of roleplay intended for RP servers is just fucking stupid and pointless. I realise this is just my opinion but games like pvkii/crpg even singleplayer rpgs have much more interesting capacity for roleplaying than these so called "mmorpg"s.
aye, yon rather stationary gentlemen also doth asketh me to killeth 10eth rats.

The only form of roleplay I do is through ingame stuff not communication channels because I find that it tends to get incredibly silly.
If anyone would be interested in maybe teaming up and trying to get into the new Darkfall shoot me a PM. I've been wanting to give it a go since it came out, but I heard diving in alone is hell. Figure trying it out with a fellow c-rpg player and seeing what mischief we can get ourselves into could be a fun experience.
Did you play the original?
I've been wanting to try out the new one but I never played the original. My old computer couldn't handle it and when I got my new one, it had passed and the new one was out. So I'm hesitant to spend 40 bucks to buy it and 15 bucks a month along with that just to see if I want to actually play it. If the combat is similar or the same as the old one, I'll just try out the original for a bit and see if I like it. I wouldn't think the combat would change too much anyway.
Nah never played the original. But I know a good amount about both games. I'm waiting for it to go on sale on steam again, was like 15 bucks, knew I should've just bought it. Would be fun to give it w try with you though Taser!
I know right? Some noob from crpg that's a mute. Huehue
But if it goes on sale, I'll definitely give it a shot. If there's a free trail eventually, then 101% trying it.
Anyone guess what I've just been alpha testing ;)
Warband type MMO is gonna happen one day.....its just gonna take like mybe 10 years or so. And what makes this story rather sad is that its not the technological limitations fault, but the lack of intrest. Lets face it, Warband and other games that are similar, aim for a very small group of people. Ive tried pimping M&B to my many RL gamingfriends for years now and they only play MOBAs and highbudget mainstream games. At first I thought it was just that they were illinformed of its awesomeness, but they really dont see the charm. Im quessing we are the rare breed that sees the jewel in this game. And saddly we are currently living in a timeperiod where gaming has never been so profitfocused. Its all about who is gonna get the biggest load of cash, publicity and criticscore.Are you me?!
Are you me?!
Most of my friends play LoL/Hearthstone/WoW/BF4/Fifa etc etc eventhough a few of them play M&B with me sometimes. I just don't get how they can't like it? Especially because many of them like skill-based games, or so they say... I must admit the learning curve for multiplayer combat is hard, but you just gotta hold on and truly WANT to get better. I guess they lack the patience?

I see google ads did a good job targeting you Fips.
I just tried the Neverwinter MMORPG, and I think I won't touch another MMORPG for at least 5 years again.
Ehhh...what?!
