Hi,
I don't know excactly wich games are the best cash-shop games but I can give you the 3 best cash-shop games.
-Flyff, great game, gentle community, graphics are OK, but you will need to grind alot.
-Silkroad, game with a great trade system, lvl cap is 70 I thought(I could be wrong), but many people complain about the pretty laggy servers.
-Maplestory, a 2D side scrolling action mmorpg, I liked this game alot till I realised I was always grinding

Well if you are going to play a grind fest, play the ones with the better graphics if you can. Most f2p mmorgps are almost identical with 4 or 5 classes and not too many features.
Here's a few that I found to be above average by f2p standards :
Pirate King Online - for the anime , cartooney, graphics enthusiasts by far the most fun of the bunch with plenty of quests and things to do.
Archlord - got alot of bad press but the gfx arent bad, plenty of quests and a more proffesional look than most f2p games
Shadowbane - best pvp of any f2p game and possibly any p2p game out right now, which sint saying alot. Dated graphics, tough to get into, alot of character customization, alot of classes and races, sieges, guild towns, shops etc, horrible pve. No item shop 100% free.
Granado Espada - Very nice graphics, control a group of 3 characters, high budget f2p game.
I thought http://www.archlordgame.com/splash-page/index.php was pretty good.
Don't confuse a players ability, with a class being Over Powered.

Sword of the New WOrld is the best one I have palyed so far. Graphics are great, the 3 characters you control are a real nice change of pace and the critters you encounter are pretty cool looking. Heh the devs show there sense of homor thru out the game and the musical score is superior.
I gotta agree with this guy. I know I am the Associate Producer on the title, but really when it comes down to brass tacks there are 3 truly good F2P MMORPGs. Sword of the New World, Cabal (only in UK) and Archlord.
Of those 3 Sword is the only one with: Live in-game GM events, End Game Raiding, Clan Wars, Capturable Territories, a Political PvP system, Quests, a full crafting system, open PvP maps, an opt-in PvP system, weekly Faction vs. Faction Wars, PvP tournaments, Free give-aways and of course me. So it's pretty easy to say SNW is the World's Greatest Free2Play MMORPG. Not only that but Sword also has original gameplay, it's like an MMO meets, RTS meets RPG.
Either way, I think you would probably dig: Sword, Cabal or ArchLord. As far as F2P goes those three are top of the food chain.
Plus our splash page is cooler: http://swordofthenewworld.gamersfirst.com/manifest_destiny.php

Sad enough..Codemasters then Gpotato. Truly there games are terrible.
Sword of the New World is a lot of fun, basically what the associate producer said is spot on. Sure, it can get grindy sometimes... but you kind of get an RTS feel with the controls, so I don't find it as bad. Besides Sword, I actually really enjoyed RF Online because it was really stable on my system, and the Chip Wars (RVR) was tons of fun.
Also, I'm gonna give props to the Sword dev team for their April Fool's joke l o l... they released an official bot program... good one :-) They really tricked a lot of players.
The big problem, or plus, with Granado Espada (Sword) is that it is possible to AFK level, esepcially early on, and slightly slower later , but people have managed to get to very high lvevels without doing much actual playing.
There are people everywhere but everyone is AFK so you feel like you are playing alone. I found it pretty annoying really. That being said, SotNW is a well done game.
Mabinogi hands down. Sword of the New World is miserable.
I think I have tried all of them.
Imho the 2 best f2p cash shop games are Perfect World (if you like the WoW style) and Shaiya (if you like the Lineage 2 style). These 2 games are really worth playing.
Perfect world is the most complete f2p of all. The press calls it the chinese wow (it's huge in asia) It has everything: flying, pvp with territorial ownership, guild wars, player housing and guild housing, crafting, etc... etc... It's the biggest one of them all.
Second for me is Shaiya. It's the Lineage 2 style and looks like it as the art was done by the same designer who also did Lineage 2 and Aion (kjun.org). This game is much better than the likes of Last Chaos, Silkroad, Rappelz, etc... It's like lineage 2, but with less grind, more quests and better pvp. The episode 3 (korea is already on episode 4) game update comes this month and adds crafting, more maps, etc..
I have tried the above suggested Sword of the new world. I didn't like it and I especially couldn't stand the game art. That's a personal opinion of course.
Age of Armor has an alright cash shop
but the prices might be a bit high right now
Does anyone have the link for Perfect World website for usa. When i try to enter http://www.perfectworld.com.my/ i get this error. i dont understand why,. i have never been baned., i am brand new to the game

Why would a good game allow AFK leveling?
It's working fine for me. Did you finaly succeed to get connected?
They had a big issue with american IP's being blocked and the only solution was to play through a proxy server(which creates horrible lag) but then they fixed the routing issues and I have been able to connect ever since.
Ragnarok Online Hands Down! Even tho its P2P it still has a cash shop nowadays.
i have been in Mabinogi for about 2 years.. i also think this game is so good and its cash shop is logical. and the cash shop of SOL is also reasonable. some goods of it are integrant in order that the players could be at the different level...
I kind of like granado.
Also granado has a good tutorial, that could be good for newbies.
What I don't like from granado.. or most f2p games... is the grind.
I'm surprised no one here mentioned Dream of Mirror Online yet. DOMO is the best run F2P/CS game in the U.S. for several reasons:
1) Fair pricing: its most expensive item is a permanent costume costing only $13 USD.
2) Very clean: very few bots and almost no gold-seller spam.
3) Most cash shop items are tradeable in game, benefiting both cash shop users and non-users.
4) Active GM/GS and tons of player sponsored/hosted events, a sign of very decent community.
5) Grindy game? Yeah it can be at high level....but since you can buy 6-hr to 1-week +100% XP badges from players with in-game gold, that grind factor is reduced to nothing, at least for me. Some players have reached level cap just four months after its OB.
Personally I hate to spend RL money on any game-related stuff, but the way DOMO is run makes my purchase happy and worth every penny.
