    Default Grind without the sting

    I want a good free MMO with cool fighting. Auto-attack bores the hell out of me. You see, I have this theory that interesting combat could take a bit of the edge off level grind. If there really is aren't any mmo's with pleasing combat, at least make the grind interesting. The game must be visually pleasing and RELEASED. No SOTNW. KTHX

    Wait for the next gen mmo's. Dragon nest is a KH style button mashing mmorpg which I'm looking forward to.

    Dragonica i believe is coming out soon, a 2D side scroller which adopts a button mashing combo system.

    SMT? It requires some sort of strategy.

    Mabinogi.

    If you use auto attack then you're not going to get very far in the game. The only way you actually feel any grind in the game is if you're trying to raise a specific skill to very high ranks (such as windmill to rank 1; god that is such a chore) otherwise leveling and such do not matter. Dungeons give abundant xp and randomize maps so no two dungeons are ever the same.

    I would recommend watching the vids or reading up on wiki before trying it out.

    And don't forget about Blade and Soul. Although I don't really know how much you can influence the actual combat, but so far it seems good.

    I dunno about that, the camera angle on the videos kind of irk me. Aside from that the battle system intrigues me.

    I hope so, that auto camera in mabi also irritates me. I managed to permanently turn that off along with auto combat.

    Such useless features imo.

    Sorry but the things your asking for are not found in f2p games at the moment. Dragonica looks nice i must add though.

    I know this is a free board but seriously for the time being people need to stop trying to get so much out of free to play games. They have SMALL budgets.


    But seriously these types of threads are getting grindy >_>

    If I had a nickel for everytime someone said "This game will pwn" or "this game will rule" regardless it does look amazing. But "The King of MMORPGs" you think a f2p game will de-throne the W word?? (Flame meh nao!!)

    Darkfall Screenies: http://www.darkfallonline.com/gallery/visuals (You know this) those look bad? I dont think they are bad...I mean Ima go see a video on Animations now.

    Trickster's grind is probably the least "stinging" I've experienced in an F2P MMO. One of them, at least.

    Considering I got to level 55 without glancing at my level bar once, I was just having fun, doing Party Quests, and questing (not repetitively) at the same time.

    Isn't Trickster dead though? Or the NA version is? Or something like that.

    No but it is a true CSWhore equip wise where the CS stuff is like 100x better than the stuff you find in game.

    And repair powders are cash shop only.

    And gacha is way to addicting.

    Otherwise it's alive and kicking with active events, a gigantic community, easy leveling, fun pvp, and major updates every few weeks or so.
