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

[Gravoth_iii]

Tribes Ascend is definitely worth trying out, free to play and everything that can be bought with money can also be unlocked through playing.

CrimeCraft isn't bad. It's available on steam.

I'll try this Tribes Ascend thingy, just because so many people mentioned it.

But yes it seems interesting!

EVE is pretty much the best you can get right now, not free however.

As for "good" free multiplayer online games I guess APB, Haven and Hearth, Age of Conan, King Arthur's Gold, Pirates of the Burning Sea. Those would be my picks.

As for myself, I'm waiting for Guild Wars 2 and Planetside 2.

APB?

Vibe, are you serious on this one?

APB?

Well I only played it for a few hours and it wasn't half bad. Why so surprised?

[Logen]

Well I only played it for a few hours

This is self-explanatory.
But waiting for GW2 and Planetside too.

Even xant plays it and surprise surprise he does not suck there

Christo, do yourself a favour and lay down some bucks for a decent game. Free to play online games are only for kids with a lot of time, but without money. Or for people that for some reason want to pay via microtransactions to be good at a mediocre at best game.

World of Tanks is pretty fun, I find. I've put in 6 euros in it to get some more tank slots. I don't feel like I'm at a disadvantage.

Zis.

World of tanks is perfectly playable without EVER investing ANY money into it.

And its SO MUCH FUN!

WoT was too annoying because of the grind factor.
Also the tier balance, had lots of awful matches thanks to that.

I heard it changed now, so it might be better.

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

I got a Tiger without it ever feeling like a grind. But I lack the grind mentality msot people have. I just play games as long as they're fun, if I'm not having fun, I stop.

[Overdriven]

Just tried Tribes Ascend...pretty good fun actually. If I didn't have a dissertation to write I'd be killing a lot of time on there.

Tell me, is it still a joke paper tank?

The Tiger is ridiculously fragile in the game.

Also, I've tried this tribes thing, and oh my is it fun to play Very action packed.
But I can barely run it on minimum gfx settings..

God I could really use a better PC.
