    Hmm well a lot of mmo's put stories in but people just don't read them. Like runescape is very story driven (just read about all the quests, not really a main story just lots of stories) but most people don't recognize that most of these actually do have a story :P

    If you mean it plays like a single player rpg, like FFXI, then there really aren't any f2p ones..PSU is another one that works like that.

    I agree. Guild Wars has a good story..per title. There are 3 GW campaigns and one addon out. So basically you have 4 different stories. I have played all GW parts and I can promise you that the stories are quite good, for mmos. Oh and there is a Bonus mission pack. That's an addon, which you can only buy in the GW store. The BMP tells 4 different stories.

    Actually, in Lord of the Rings Online, everything is based off the lore of the story. The game doesn't have pvp though except Spar (Requesting duels) and PVMP, which is monster play, where you can play as a monster or your current character. If you're a monster, you fight against the human players in the Ettenmoors.

    Atlantica onlines story, meh...

    DOMO? Lol?

    Guild wars has an EPIC storyline. And EPIC PvP. It just gives you the sense of accomplishment once you've done a mission + it has good graphics. It actually gets you INVOLVED in the storyline, not just sitting back and reading about the storyline.

    You failed when you said Kal Online, it has a story but you don't get involved in it. Plus it's a dead game. No one really plays it anymore, really...

    FFXI and guild wars are the only 2 games i know where they have main story lines with cut scenes
    a lot of other games also have stories (like Sword of the new world), but they are not as fancy as guild wars and FFXI, you have to read a lot of text

    CoH has by far the best storyline(s) out of any MMO to date by a large margin. It's story actually has plot twists and turns and its none of that cliche generic Fantasy drivel that you get from the story (at least, what little there is) in WoW or GW.

    Lemme guess you have yet to get passed noobie island in GW... GW may have a teleporter but it is for convenience if you had too walk some of the harder areas every single time you would commit suicide.... GW has a great storyline one of the best for an MMOG(It's only real competitor being FFXI)

    Yeah Cabal had a...passable story I guess, then again, it ends at 100, and theres no more story(or quests) after that, but the game goes to 170.

    GWs Prophecy storyline was...cliche as all getout, but I guess worth reading/watching the story the first time through, its 2nd storyline was just plain terrible (I forget what it was called, the 1st expansion) I haven't played the other expansions because I hated the 1st expansion so much, and being stuck at level 20 and hating PVP in all it's forms doesn't really make me want to pick up and play the rest etheir.

    I remember seeing like 2 minutes of storyline for every 200 hours of grinding or so in FFXI before I stopped playing the game in utter disgust and tedium...I suppose that had to eventually go *somewhere*, but I've no idea if it ended up being good or not.

    AO has a great storyline if your just looking for one that has a "good" one...especially the shadowlands that has a very rich story but thats p2p..regular story is quite good though.

    Also to level up you can do missions which are randomly generated instances that give you random rewards and their always different..its pretty cool and they each have a story attached to them.

    the only problem i have with AO's reward system is you can't tell what your getting and when you get it, you find out its for another class.
