This Shit on 1 place? LuuuL
the Hex should not be here. i tried… 1 hour took just tutorial. after that i went compaign. well, another 1,5 hour and i deleted it. its like a 3d chess. no one needs that chess, cos can play normal, real-life chess.
they could make Hex browser game and portable… then maybe they will have some profit.
and i dont see any good game in list. and they all are similar to each other. play one and you dont need to try another. where all sci-fi games? no any good? only fantasy…
Sci-fi games like which one, Mila?
So Swordsman, Forsaken World, and Cabal 2 are better than Aion and Tera? Really? Cabal 2? lmao
This games are better then Wildstar, are you kidding?
Wait, where the heck is Tera ?, the No.1 2015 f2p mmorpg, remember ?
I tried playing tera and its shit. You can’t even move as you attack when you play with archer I mean wtF??? not to mention to super boring tutorial with no fucking story or anything. And bns is so much better than tera
We are working on a new profile for ArcheAge. Thank you for noticing it, taliesinceawlin!
Hahaha, BnS better than tera, Hello?
You’re an idiot mate, BnS is a flop game with choppy “dynamic action combat”.
Not to mention the stupid “spend ingame currency to roll (bid) on loot drops”.
gtf out of here.
1st must be blade & soul….
f2p.com were bribed by echo of soul or what? how come that piece of shit is on 1st place and blade and soul on 4th
Echo of Soul at first place? Really? What will happen next month Knight online, metin 2, mu online? That game is a century old to be a mmorpg even though it is new. Chessy game.
To this day I am still trying to find a better F2P game than Aion. Having tried all of the games in this list (other than B&S and Skyforge), I can tell ya these must’ve been pulled from a hat. I mean Neverwinter? Seriously that’s just another “Perfect World International” redone. I tried that one…SIX YEARS AGO!
The only 1/2 way decent game I see here is Tera, and even that was meh.
Path of Exil is a redone Diablo 2. The skill tree seems very complex, until you start actually creating new characters. Then you start to realize it is WAY more limited than it looks. So the game is OK for a while, but gets lame after a bit.
I am very pleased with ‘Dragona’. Simple game with good graphic and music.
where the heck swtor, they maybe not the top one but it still a solid mmo.
and what the heck is hex? wtf f2p how much money they give you this time?
do ou even play that shit? that game is total mess
1st must be Tera
What the fuck is this shit? Fuck off f2p, stop sucking cock from game companies
Uh, Hex isn’t a mmorpg.
blade and soul #2? Perfect World #4? Lol how much were you guys paid for this?
It’s, Fredrick. From the official site:
“HEX combines the amazing community and roleplaying aspects of a Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (MMO) with the compelling collectible and strategic gameplay of a Trading Card Game (TCG)”
This website has zero consistency. MMOs that were #1 one month won’t even appear on next month’s list.
Feels more like a randomized list rather than a well thought out one.
Really? Trinium wars over BnS? I mean, really?
Love TERA and Aion but after maxing out getting bored so I am maxing out each character type till I find something new. Blade and Soul, meh same engine as Tera and initially was good but upgrading weapons blows monkeys! so that has gone byebye. Neverwinter? – Barfs!. Like to try Black Desert Online – was advertised as F2P – and is not, so is on the waiting list form. But Tera is #1 for me even with the combat lag!
I have to say looking at your lists, they looked rigged to me.
Tera could never be the #1, I mean yes everyone has their opinions, but Tera is being trumped by SOOOO MAAAAANY Games already, in aspects of mechanics and fluid combat and/or everything else.
The best current MMORPGs aren’t even listed, this is all just a bunch of fantasy games ;-;.
Btw, if there is no Path of Exile in this list, it’s invalid, because DUH majority over your shitty opinions on which game is the best.
obviously archeage paid to be #1 on this shitty list.
A piece of eritoduin unlike any other!
seems strange GW2 isn’t on this list
II know that a pretty old game, but i still would love to see Vindctus on steam, or a internacional version.
Japan got 2 really good free to play MMO, Phantasy Satr online 2 and Dragon’s Dogma Online.
Im asking wth is neverwinter here and warframe not NW is so p2p after mod6 half stuff gone half nerfed cant even talk in most chat area types untill lvl15 and in wf u can get even best items without any money spent… Plz update list and ty for letting me know no.4 is f2p
You’ll find Warframe in our specific TOP 10 free action shooters: http://www.f2p.com/best-mmorpg/top-10-best-free-action-shooters-2016/
Is this the 2016 list? Are these people retarded?!?
It wouldnt make any sense even if you reverse the list. Now it’s clear, this site is completely a big joke
Neverwinter is shit – doesn’t belong on this list. Their much-lauded Foundry (user-made missions) is offline more than not and is out of date and effectively unsupported. The Gateway (browser based component to access Professions, mail, inventory, and the companion-oriented dice game, Sword Coast Adventures) is offline permanently as of today. The game has nearly as many bots as players. There is NO WAY Neverwinter belongs at #2, probably not even on the top 10.
Who ever makes up this list is freakin retarded
Hahaha
This games suck hahaha be real just like SAO haha
Haha relax guys these lists are just based on who pays the site more, they are definitely not real top lists XD
How did Fiesta Online make it for 2016? I remember playing it back in 2006…just doesn’t make sense.
