Quest for the impossible: A good "free" multiplayer online game?

[B3RS3RK]

They kinda want you to spend money, or getting a decent tank with equipment will be a nightmare.

Urmm no.

You get more exp and credits per game with premium, but its not necessary at all.


"Decent tank" is also definately a thing of view.

Tier 5 can be really fun already, and you can reach that in like 2 days without premium.

Tier 7 is pretty much the tier where you will discover the full efficiency of the tank tree branch, and its perfectly reachable in like 1 Week.

The later tiers require more effort then.

Also, it seems to me that you have a wrong image in your mid of that game.Its not about standing in front of every enemy tank ingame with your tank and letting everything bounce on your armor.It requires tactics.

And no, the Tiger is not a joke tank.It´s pretty awesome because the long 8,8 has over 200 Penetration, which basically means you can hurt almost every tank till tier 10 in the Front.

[Miwiw]

I'm playing Stronghold Kingdoms ATM. It's pretty fun. Might not be for everyone though.

Yes, good game. I also play it currently, only spending some minutes every day during different times of the day (building something here and there, raising up new walls, recruiting more archers or trading, sending troops for a mission).

I mostly played more pay2win games, like Silkroad Online for years, and yes, I often paid more than 20€ a month just to have premium features.

GW1 and Lord of the Rings Online are currently the only both games (MP, MMO like) I guess are good for free. You need to buy one GW version but there is no monthly fee. LotRO is for free and it is possible to play without any costs, however there are a lot of advantages if you pay money (it is also very nice if you enjoy roleplaying, then you simply do not need to pay anything).

So it got buffed?

I dont know, when did you play it last?In beta?

It´s still something you would call "paper" (100mm front hull armor), but it´s definately a very good tank.

Also, little fact: The Oh-so feared Tiger from WWii is actually the Tiger II ingame, the "King tiger".

And THAT is for sure a fucking awesome machine!

christo, try out EVE.
the first 30 days or so are free, and even if you don't manage to get enough ISK (ingame currency) to get it free2play you can still buy it for another month (25-30 € iirc, which isn't more than any other good game) and try to get the ISK until you get over the free2play margin - and THEN you have what you want!

sounds so easy, but you can at least check it out - I did it too, but I stopped because I am too busy irl (and then I got into cRPG lol)

I played World of Tanks in beta when you would still get 200 gold for free everyday, even then I thought it was quite the grind. Then the beta ended and there was no 200 gold a day anymore and my jaw dropped from the time it took to get a new tank. Ridiculous grind, as soon as I needed to grind through a tank that I didn't like to get one I thought I would like I quit.
