Any true f2p out right now?

[Cata|yst]

I have noticed that a lot of the popular mmos right kind of VIP or premium member to unlock all aspects of the game. Games like ArcheAge and swtor limit a player in some way shape or form. I was wondering, are there any true f2p mmos out but isnt pay to win?

[poeticas]

Define True f2p.

[Professor Cena]

archeage doesn't limit you anywhere near as much as swtor, only thing you can't do is own a home/sell on the ah without a license.

dota2 is the ultimate true f2p doe

[Senseos]

I highly recomend you to avoid new mmos,play high quality old games

[Felore]

Path of Exile comes to mind, whole cash shop its just cosmetics, no power selling.

[Cripstar]

Rift, Path of Exile, Tera(?).

[vaaron]

Join us in Rift, the only things that are locked off are cosmetic things @-@;

wait did they change things...just 3 weeks ago it was not that way. the AH and gold cap existed....

Could have sworn some classes can be unlocked via the cash shop.

[Skarcrow]

RIFT locked classes now, you need to pay for them if im not wrong..
i tried going back in but then i saw some class are locked so i never wanna try

[Grable]

Haven&Hearth is completely free.

[mandylion]

if you can find a mmorpg free 2 play with out cash shop then its 100 % free
but it will be very hard to find that kind of mmorpg now

there is only 1 left that focus on donations from players
it have no cash shop and its free

it was my very first mmorpg i play i think so 10 years back
Endless online is made by a dutch guy VultR

it was not the high graphic game ore good battle system but it have a kind of feeling to it what i very much like
and the good old music in it



i rely love the intro music of the game tears to my eyes

[Aktillum]

100% absolutely free no cash shop whatsoever?...how would the devs pay their coders, server hosting, etc etc? Lol.

Eldevin is sorta close, very Runescape-like game. The cash shop has cosmetics and XP potions. But no gear or epic swords or anything like that.

[Geffreyy]

One of the selling points of Path of Exile is the no-p2w aspect, the devs repeatedly mention that they will never make the game pay-to-win. They even made this video last April's fools (might have been the year before last).



A few notes about PoE. The game is actually very difficulty after you get out of normal difficulty. I suspect that the average brainless mmorpg will not find it enjoyable. If you like theorycrafting builds, you can theorycraft for weeks and weeks and never even scratch the surface of what the possibilities are. A theorycrafter's dream game.

It is possible to make fail builds. Again, this game is very difficult. If you do not put enough thought into your build you might find yourself hitting a wall in the middle of cruel or merciless difficulty. In this case you might have to start a new character from scratch, there are no full resets, you get around 15 reset points total from questing in all 3 difficulties. You can use additional regret orbs (ingame drops) to get more reset points, but it's not worth it, regret orbs are about the same value as chaos orbs.

Tera, aion, and PoE have very fair cash shops from what I've experienced.

[torkaz]

Archeage. It's amazing.

[coldReactive]

Archeage. It's amazing.

lol, no. /10characters

TERA's VIP System makes the game meh, it's better without it. (Even though you get certain enhancers with it.)

AION has wings in their cash shop that has stats.

So you recommend korean grind fests instead? pay to win crap? good job.

[coldReactive]

are you on crack? those games you mention are games like Neocron
who were p2p thousand years ago and went f2p then.
These games have nothing to pay in but very rar and Archage IS true f2p.
Like I said..you can get everything without
spending money in hm let me think...2 weeks?

ArcheAge is freemium. What is freemium? When you need to pay to unlock standard features of the game. (IE: Auction House.) Of course, you could get in-game money to get an in-game pass for patron, but that doesn't count, because you need to use the game in the first place to make that money. Considering it's a PVP Game with forced PVP, sometimes, this can be a real pain in the butt, especially if you want to have nothing to do with PVP, and don't want a guild that likes PVP. I don't care if you're going to give me the bog standard PVP loverboy paragraph on how "If I don't like it, don't play it." I already know this, and I don't play ArcheAge, and never will. But what about others who want to play it and don't like PVP? Are you just going to shun away them too? What about their friends? Their friends' friends?

I explained this a few times before, but forcing PVP can be the death of the game, and likely will be. I am also well aware that PVE-Only games don't make it big either. Having a correct balance is the best option, but ArcheAge does not do that properly.
