hi, now i don't have much time to play so i m looking for a real f2p game (not like swtor that is unplayable as a f2p game). Don t mind paying for dome stuff in the cash shop, like for bank space. any suggestions?
Istaria: completely free. F2P restrictions: only one race, cannot own plots of land. All content available for free players without restrictions;
Lord of the rings online: well, I am able to play it without investing a penny. Basic content is free, basic classes are free. What you pay for are all regions, except starters. F2P restrictions: no swift travel; gold cap limited [can be unlocked], 3 toons per server [additional may be unlocked/purchased], limited boxes in inventory [can bve unlocked/purchased]. All items may be bought at store for Turbine points (TPs). TPs are earned for deeds, like "kill 60 spiders, get 10 TPs".
LFD tools are great for cramming people into content, but quality > quantity. I am, usually on the sandbox .. more "hardcore" side of things, but I also do just want to have fun. So lighten up already
EQ2 is one of better f2p models imho, obviously excluding b2p titles. You should be able to pickup a cheap copy of guild wars 2 as well which is well worth the box price.
The only one running f2p right at the moment is LOTRO. But even they still have issues with gold sellers (at least they've tried to do something about it). And the nasty behavior of the f2p players has calmed down some but not through any efforts by the company at all, just because the worst of them has gotten bored and moved on to annoy another game. That doesn't make it a great game. They still ignore things the players have been requesting for years (and will never be delivering on any of the promises they made when the game was first released. It's too far along now). And the theme park game style that they started has now become the norm.
If you can afford the down payment, "The Elder Scroll Onlines: Tamriel Unlimited" and "Guild Wars 2" are your best bets. You won't ever have to spend a single dime on the game content itself, and they're both great, high-quality games that each offer some uniqueness. In ESO, you get good story, beautiful graphics and great voice acting for each quest. On GW2 you get great mechanics, and really unique classes, whose skills all depend on the weapon you're wielding.

Aion was a high end game in its day and is now F2P.
It's not picky about the systems it runs on. I used to play it on my dual core laptop (a 2011 model) with low-end Intel graphics, and it ran well enough.

Yep like the others said EQ2 or a B2P is your best bet LOTRO is a great F2P title with one of the better pay options I have seen. Once you buy the content zones (even subbers have to buy most of them) its yours!. I buy the content and unlock my bank slots/gold cap and off you go the limits are few and far. I have started to play Skyforge which is pretty darn fun right now but I'm still a nub.

Two games I could reccomend:
Istaria: completely free. F2P restrictions: only one race, cannot own plots of land. All content available for free players without restrictions;
