F2P That doesn't suck?

Is there such a thing? I mean i've tried out numerous F2P games and it seems to me they are all copies of each other.. i mean yes different story lines and different play styles here an there, but it's all one big boring grindfest with minimal questing.. little "fun" things to do and basically 0 crafting.

Not to mention usually something like 3 races with the same 3-4 classes each with minimal differences. Perhaps i haven't looked hard enough or maybe it just doesn't exist but is there a decent F2P mmo out there?

I call decent -

English speaking playerbase, Open PvP or Pvp options, Not so cookie cutter character classes, Not a complete grindfest to max level (maybe some decent storyline with quests? or just quests), a decent crafting system or a crafting system at all... Genre really don't matter to me i just want to have something new for a change.

Non fun mmo's to me the 100+ F2P korean mmo's littered with the gold farmers that made them.

I've played Anarchy Online and Shadowbane.. those are just a bit dated to me. Is there anything new or semi-new that i've missed?!

Thanks in advance.

    Right on the money, virtually all F2P's are junk.

    Hmm.. F2P that doesn't suck?  I can't think of one that really stands out.  PW looked good but after a while you realize it's no different from the rest.  I've tried many and they truly are pretty much all the same.  The dreaded level grind and lack of content approach is always present.

    (updated to reflect my current views after PW and several other F2P)

    That's just it tho most of these have item malls so they DO make money and in order to be the "best" you need to buy these items so they aren't completely free especially for a true gamer... I am ok with that but i'd like to see something decent in return :(

     

    I've got the US Perfect World installed, just waiting on the servers to come online lol

    stick with AO

    While not pretty... its a better game than most if not all of the other free ones

    Although its in CB atm WoKF ( World of Kung FU ) has everything you mentioned, and each sphere is rather enjoyable to participate in. I have only been in the CB for 1 night and I am astonished at how well it actually plays. Sign up for the CB and see what I am talkign about. Other than that PW is probably your best bet, as I am to waiting for the Perfect World-MY servers to come online.

    See that's the thing i played AO paid for .. since like a couple weeks after beta heh Now these "free" accounts would have me start all over again to play for free while my high level characters sit docile and unplayable for free. I just can't bring myself to do that again. :( This is the only reason i don't play AO right now.

    well CB isnt like that. all charatcers will be wiped b4 OB so you have to go in expecting that. Gives you a chance to see of it is your cup of tea. Just a suggestion, hope you find your game

    Thanks i went to check that out, but i cannot bring myself to give some random company my street address and phone number so i can tell them what's broke in their game. If they left that part out i might have signed up.

    Now why would you stop playing a game beacuse it's dated? I've played ATLEAST 40 new MMO's and 38 of them sucked. Then i tried Shadowbane, and it was the best MMO experience i've had in a long time, if not ever(it's better than almost EVERY p2p MMO out there, quite ironical isn't it?). Yes, it's dated, but why would i stop playing beacuse of that?

    Lots of companies have my street address and phone number, and well, they haven't called me yet nor have they visited me, and i'm sure they never will

    hate to say this but...

    perfect world is actually better than most p2p games this year.

    talk all the shit you want but this game stomps its contemporaries faces.

    If you're willing to shell out for the box(es) - Guild Wars is the best F2P (stands toe-to-toe with P2P MMOs as well) out there.
