    Default My best F2P MMO option is narrowed between...

    Aion vs TERA

    I'll also need a sidekick F2P MMO and I'm thinking about DCUO cuz I love the IP and there is a DLC expansion coming next month or maeby try Ragnarok 2, which is about to come out in NA. I've also seen big interest in Phantasy Star Online 2, but I haven't checked exacly when its coming out in NA.

    Both TERA and Aion are graphically enjoyable and heard awesome things about their cash shop models. I had to exclude Age of Wushu because I heard the cash shop is pay to win designed. I wonder how restrictive are these MMO's to the F2P player and when compared both how many features they offer as well as how frequent they get content updates.

    Anyways, I did buy Aion on release and subbed for 2-3 months before I quit, so I'm familiar a bit with the game unlike TERA. I also wonder if its worth jumping into any of these MMO's now when there is a lot of big MMO's coming this and early next year. I was also told Aion 4.0 coming in June, which is perfect.

    When it comes to F2P MMO's the cash shop design as I mentioned above, the security (botting/cheating/hacking) and content updates/features are the main factor behind making my final decision. It's a good idea first to get some feedback from the community before I make my choice.

    And I should feel sorry for your limited vision and lack of understanding that's prohibiting you from being able to love and enjoy what others can and more?

    Maeby when you will grow up one day and stop insulting others for not seeing things the way you can only see, might be a step toward your enlightenment or the modern term would be evolution, troll.

    You could've downloaded, installed and spent more than a few hours playing these games by now. Just download the games and get it over with instead of wasting time asking for our opinions. They are both excellent games by any standard and your question depends mostly on personal preference.

    I prefer Tera when it comes to graphics, i just love the character designs.. its the first time i ever seen a baboon insult their graphics when its pretty much over the top, Aion is good too except some classes might be annoying to pvp against for many people because who would love fighting priests that can sustain against your attacks while hurting you?

    These two games have a bit of a different taste in my opinion and many classes for you to try, playing one class isn't enough!

    If you want action based combat (Left click to attack etc.), don't mind seeing little girls running around with giant swords and can handle running through the same dungeon again and again (Because let's face it, Tera doesn't have much end-game) then Tera is the one for you.

    If you want more generic hot-key based combat, less sexualized characters (Although it's the internet, people still manage somehow) and the game is Korean so expect a lot of grinding (Koreans love grinding for some reason).

    From the two you asked for opinions on? I would have to go with Aion purely because:
    1) Old habits die hard. It's the kind of MMO i grew up with.
    2) Any game with overly sexualized females draws immature players like honey for a bee. (It even makes me scared to read world chat because in the end, i feel sorry for the female players trying to enjoy the game)
    3)I'm waiting for PSO2 which would have made me ditch TERA anyway

    Some other games i can recommend:
    Neverwinter Online: Based on the DnD franchise, has player-made quests which gives some extra end-game and is the craze at the moment.
    Path of Exile: Diablo-ish (NOT A CLONE) but sets itself apart with it's impressive mechanics, difficulty and dedicated development team.
    Eden Eternal: Anime-based MMORPG with a dual-class system and probably the most polished of the Anime-based MMO's out there.
    League of Legends: If you want a MOBA which you can just pick up, and have one game or whatever then yeah...
    Atlantica Online: If you're old-school like me and like turn-based combat, this is the best, if not the only MMO that is suited for your tastes. Very polished but a end-game becomes a bit pay-to-win.
    Any Racing MMO: Want a Racing MMO? There are no good ones, go play Xbox or PS3 >.>
    A.V.A and Planetside 2: Depends if you like typical FPS or Sci-fi.
    Dating Simulation MMORPG?: Yeah right...

    So there you go, choose a genre or your original options and away you go!
