9 free MMOs worth playing.

Crime Craft

Sort of like GTA except with more crime and less driving around. It uses the Unreal Engine 3 and isn't set to be released until Spring of 2009, so its about a year away but it'll be free to play.

Mythos

No suprise to see Mythos making the list. We've covered Mythos before, but if your not familiar with it it's a Diablo2 clone, but a MMORPG instead of a regular RPG.

Requiem: Bloodymare

An extremely gory and bloody horror MMORPG that lives up to its name. Originally created in South Korea the game has made its way to western audiences. Currently the game is in Beta, but will be released shortly.

Dungeon Runner

comical MMORPG that is a lot of fun to play and is free as long as you allow them to run an ad banner while your playing. However for only $4.99/month you have the option to remove that.

Sword of the New World: Granado Espada

An MMORPG with an anime look that at one point had a monthly fee but is now free to play. Sword of the New World allows you to control up to 3 characters which separates it from all the other MMOs out there.

Holic

Currently in open beta, Holic is a MMO with a very cutsie look. What seperates this game from others is that users are able to create there own dungeouns and quests once they get far enough into the game.

Shaiya: Light and Darkness

We covered Shaiya before so its no suprise to us that PC Gamer selected it as one of the best free games out there. Shaiya concentrates on long term development of your character and heavy PvP action. If you ever played Lineage, this game is right up your alley.

Fiesta

Another anime inspired MMORPG from Korea, however this one suffers from horribly translated dialog. Aside from the bad translations, Kiesta is a good looking game with solid game play.

Cabal Online

A solid fantasy MMORPG that doesn't really make any breakthroughs, but features good gameplay, story and PvP via duels. Considering its free to play, if your looking for a casual free fantasy MMO, this could be the one for you.

cabal?? weak. RoE is way better and been around longer.

Looking forward to Crimecraft though. Its a welcome change of scenery from the usual fife-and-drum humdrum.

No Anarchy Online = failRK-Mara

9Dragons - Free MMO. Simple and funhandag

It's somewhat fun I guess but the grind kicks in hard just like any other mmo I guess.

You should of mentioned Silkroad online.. it might be hard to log on, but its a fun game once you do.Dan3721

I disagree...Silkroad Online is the only game I've ever played which I truly feel was a waste of my life. There isn't a variety of enemies, the quests are a horrible grind, the PvP is unbalanced, there's a limited amount of armor and weapons, and the character customization is pretty weak, among other issues.

Of the listed games, I might take a look at Mythos and Requiem. I also hated Shaiya. I played Dungeon Runners briefly, but never got into it.

You know what would be great? A free to play MMORPG that actually tries to be good. Since they're free people will try them anyway so way put any effort? I think I'll stay away from free MMOs. You know what is really annoying? Action online games like Gunz and Wolfteam that sell superior items to people who pay, and on top of them you pay for them monthly. Who pays for these items? And why?

crimecraft looks interesting.

I been waiting for Mythos open beta 4ever, when will they finally open the game i want to play NOW :cry:.TanKLoveR

I've checked the forums and the game might become open beta as early as 2 weeks or perhaps a month. The devs are working hard so they havn't really confirmed much on the subject. Hopefully soon though.
