Yep. Aion. I was messing around with something and saw comments about Aion F2P. It wasn't last time I looked, but I guess the switch was a while ago.
Downloaded it and it ran well. Tried it on GF's machine and it was fine. Showed it to her and she liked it. Great female character art and lots of lowbie quests is a perfect match for her gameplay.
If she likes it, we play it. Just the way it works around here.
But it's a bit of a departure from 'typical mmo fare'. And intentionally chosen for it.
Self-pity imprisons us in the walls of our own self-absorption. The whole world shrinks down to the size of our problem, and the more we dwell on it, the smaller we are and the larger the problem seems to grow.
Sounds like she has you whipped there boy. But back to the orignal question. I'm not really playing any mmo atm, well unless you count the ff14 alpha test, thats about it. Most so called free to play mmo's end up costing much more per month than a sub mmo in order for you to stay competive or keep up with people. This is especally true if the game has pvp, in pretty much every f2p game with pvp, its pretty much pay2win, you don't pay your going to get rolled and not have a chance. Now I do understand they need to make money, but making stuff like that so based on cash shop items just bugs me. I personally don't both with pvp thats in an arena setting, I prefer a large area and mass pvp battles, over say 4 vs 4 stuff. The game is gone now but Neosteam was pretty good pvp wise, when the 2 nations butted heads every few days. I also dislike pvp where you can easly solo another player, I much prefer it to be possible to solo another player but still be really hard to pull it off unless you are that classes weak point. In the battlegrounds in daoc I used to play a friar, and I would bait the enemy stealthers into trying to kill me, because 9 times out of 10 that stealther would end up dead at my feet. Friar was like anti-stealther. But if my friar went up vs a tank type char, I'd have a pretty hard fight to win that one. Most mmo's with pvp these days have virtually no balance at all to them.
Being a pessimist is a win-win pattern of thinking. If you're a pessimist (I'll admit that I am!) you're either:
A. Proven right (if something bad happens)
or
B. Pleasantly surprised (if something good happens)
Either way, you can't lose! Try it out sometime!

All of my posts are either intelligent, thought provoking, funny, satirical, sarcastic or intentionally disrespectful. Take your pick.
I get banned in the forums for games I love, so lets see if I do better in the forums for games I hate.
I enjoy the serenity of not caring what your opinion is.
I don't hate much, but I hate Apple© with a passion. If Steve Jobs was alive, I would punch him in the face.
Mortal online
Anarchy online

Informing people about your thoughts and impressions is not a review, it's a blog.
PS2 mostly. But also dabblein STO & DDO.
Will definitely play Marvel Heroes when it is out.
And oh .. forget to try TSW last night, but will do soon.
Star Trek Online. Having some fun now and again with this one. Don't feel the need to log in everyday by any means.
Ryzom. Giving this a try and enjoying the little I've played thus far.

Personally the only modern MMORPG trend that annoys me is the idea that MMOs need to be designed in a way to attract people who don't actually like MMOs. Which to me makes about as much sense as someone trying to figure out a way to get vegetarians to eat at their steakhouse.- FARGIN_WAR
That is the point of F2P games (or no sub games). There is no pressure. Play this game some today .. play another tomorrow. It is about having fun. Play whever float your boat this moment.
C9, WoT at the moment.
But waiting the "big" names comes out
(Firefall, Archage, Blade&Soul...etc.)
Just Aion at the moment. Planetside 2 turned me off for the time being, until SOE can get a grip on the rampant cheats, illegal mods, hacks, and botting going on. I haven't logged onto Fallen Earth for awhile, but I've been meaning to try it out again.
Aion (NCSoft) just did their F2P cashshop so well. The entire game is free (all content, all raids, all character slots, everything - no limitations). The cashshop is cosmetic stuff or leveling boosts, nothing that gives an edge via P2W, and nothing that allows players to skip content outright. I would have thought other companies would have noticed, but freemium games with cruddy "F2P" models keep cropping up, and also crapping up the MMORPG gaming world

Recognize the voice? Yep sounds like Penny Arcade's Extra Credits.
yeah .. firefall looks decent too. Do you know if they have good viable snipers? I probably will try FF too.
Yes, i playd sniper ("recon" at tier 1 and went to "nighthawk" way at tier 2 ) class in FF, but i can tell, everyone find what kind of sniper want to be (there is a class tree, unlocking sniper classes with different abilities)
Thank you for the info.
