I'm looking for something that requires some form of skill/tactics/strategy to play. It can be F2P, P2P, Freemium or w/e. (Just not Pay 2 Win...that defeats the purpose)

I'm not that bothered about graphics, as I feel that gameplay comes first. (Although it doesn't hurt to have something pretty to look at

)

My only specification is that it is not a strategy game (Such as SC2) or a MOBA like LoL. (I don't mind room based games, just not HoN/LoL)

Thanks for the help.

*Edit: Please don't recommend Eve Online*

Atlantica, Battleforge, World of Warcraft, Guild Wars, Subspace Continuum, Chess, Puzzle Pirates, Ederon, Elements are some strategic non-strategy games. Some of the games listed (such as WoW) are subscription-based or B2P but you should find some entertainment value in each one so just pick the one with the nicest graphics and play it.

I also recommend To The Moon if you are purchasing a B2P for Christmas.

Never heard of "To The Moon", so I'll look into that. I had thought of Atlantica myself, as I remember it being advertised as such. Have you played it and know whether or not it requires any form for strategy?

*Edit: had at look at atlantica and to the moon...not for me :s Thanks anyway though *

If all else fails, I guess I'll go back to WoW.

Many of the good RPG ones that deal with skill are GW, Dragon Nest, and DCUO.

Without PvP, I would say DDO and LoTRO are good ones.

Really didn't expect DDO or LoTR being suggested here. Hmm, I'll give them a look.

I have GW, although none of the expansions. Don't feel like buying them now, when other options are available. (I know you don't need them, but I hate feeling at a disadvantage)

Try World of tanks. purely team and skilled based. Great graphics too.

darkfall is without doubt one of the games with the highest skill floor, since the population is pretty small now the people left are almost all very good, it is easily the mmorpg that requires the most "skill" to play imo.

I highly recommend Uncharted Waters Online for its tactical and strategic sea battle
