Title: F2P MMOs (Who's playing what?!)
Post by: Myntal on August 17, 2010, 03:23:25 pm
I skimmed and didn't really see anyone talking about F2P online games, so I am just wandering: anyone out there playing any?

I personally play Maplestory & ever since the Vindictus beta came out I've been all over it. I also play Grand Chase and Shin Megami Tensei: Online.

I recommend them all. They are free with additional options that cost $$.

Here's a list :p : 

Maple Story

Vindictus (is closed beta, but just incase you wanna see it.)

Sorry, nope, anything that is a MMO is something I don't play. I never was a fan of that type of games. The only online games I play are Starcraft 1 and 2, sometimes Unreal Tournament 2004 and rarely Halo 3 and UTGOTY. I just don't like the endless grind fest and I prefer RPGs like Final Fantasy on the SNES. If there was a MMORPG like Secret Of Mana, with a story to follow, not just random quests like Borderlands, I wouldn't mind playing it a bit, though, if leveling up is quick. Star Ocean for Xbox 360 and PS3 got a quest system, but it's optional.

Okay Secret of Mana ~ One of the best games ever made. :D
But no, I hear ya. Newer stuff is less structure more blood. xD

I don't really mind blood, but it just seems like most stuff involves talking to a NPC telling you to find a letter, getting the letter from the girl back to the guy, receiving a new quest, going back to someone else to get a pendent, going back to the guy, who will tell you to give it to another girl, then suddently, random dragon attack in the city, then having to go in a tower to grab a cursed item, giving it to an old man, without any signifiant primary goal in all this, and most of the time you just grind. I also hate how we need to be a certain LV to use certain items.

Haha, I liked the example. There are def a lot of games like that. However, there are a lot of games, in turn that are not like that. :D

Um, I've recently gotten back into RuneScape. I have played, and enjoy, MapleStory, Eudemons Online, Knights Online, and 9Dragons. I think that's all I played but RuneScape is the only current one (though I am a member so I don't know if that still counts).

Oh man, I haven't played runescape in forever! xD are you a high level on it?

Well I just started completely over because I just felt like it, but my original character was level 76, I believe. Not a pure or anything so all his levels are pretty rounded, or at least a lot of them are. My new one is like level 36 or so. I'm liking this new one better I think.

Yea, I play runescape too. A decent number of our forum goers play runescape it seems. :D

haha more like stellar dawn for me. Runescape is exactly what DJ said- boring grind fests and random quests, and certain levels to use items.

/me is angry at Grand Chase.

I spent the majority of today downloading Grand Chase, and it finally errors out... 12 hours since I started the download...  (granted I stopped the download a couple times today).  So, I won't be playing that one :P

Grandchase is really fun. There is no grinding, which is good, however there is a lvling system. You can unlock multiple characters per account, which is pretty cool. It's more 'arcadey' than most games.

Just try to not get too addicted to those games. Fortunately some people like rcfreak0 tried WoW for example and did not get addicted much, but I remember bad stories about MMORPG addiction in the past. We and other TI sites even lost members due to that x.x

Well, I used to be addicted to maplestory. It was horrible. At least now, I'm better, but the addiction comes and goes. I haven't played in a while.

Lol, I loved the way you phrased that. I was addicted in like middle school. I look at it now, and I can't even remember how to play. The interface has changed sooo hardcore like. :p

Some people around here still plays Runescape, but they don't play very often, from what I can notice.
