Would you rather play a FREE mmo or pay for a game?

find some random free game, or pay about $20 for a game?

Usually Id prefer to pay up front.

If the free mmo game is based on micro transactions, then I wont touch it.

The overall reasoning is: If someone makes something that I enjoy, I do want to pay for it, They put time and effort into making something so it would be unfair not to be compensated for it.

Unless the game is utterly broken, or just plain bad. Anyways I am not really a huge MMO fan since the monthly subscriptions, and updates that often needs to be bought.

But for the sake of the arguement, I would prefer a pricetag, then I wont feel as low as I would, by playing for free.

If the game with the pricetag, is on any game tho, and not just a MMO, then I would pick that in a heartbeat. atleast it would feel like I am supporting the industry behind my favorite hobby.

I save more money wasting quarters at an arcade...

That's not good.

Pay because most free MMORPGs are horrible. I don't see why everyone gets upset at monthly fees. As long as it's a sane price, then it should be fine.DevilBorg

I haven't read or heard someone say that in like 10+ years. Anyway, I'd rather pay.

I'd rather pay. Only downside is that I sometimes feel like I NEED to play since I'm paying for it.

true.after seeing plenty of medeviel theme rpg that copies one another for more than 8 years...and plenty of CS COD clones...i rather go for p2p..but only if i have a little more cash..

There wasn't much decent mmo that is free. Only one that i played for a while was Rohan but its not really free. Inorder to be good you have to pay tons of money for the cash items and that game took forever to grind. I would rather play up front for a game with no monthly because i dont have that much time to invest into a game that is worth the monthly fee

I have the Vindictus closed beta.. waiting for it to end because my characters gettin swiped anyways.

From what Ive played of it, Its alot better than some games Ive payed for. Very top notch stuff.

In all honesty, I'd rather save up and buy another figurine.

But.. from the two, I'd shell out money for a game than play one of those cheap excuses for a game.

I'd say it depends on the quality of the game.

Someone would have to PAY me to play any MMO, regardless if it's offered free or not. Seriously, I would not waste my time on WoW unless I was given a decent hourly wage. I can't for the life of me understand how some find games like that enjoyable. I'll pay for a game any day of the week.

Pay, free mmos are never good from my experience.
