We are essentially trying to make an all in one MMO hub. We're still quite small at the moment but we had over 100 members in the first 24 hours. If you want to come in and chat with me or others about MMOs, join us.
The same MMORPGS since 5 years....
I mean... you're not wrong!
more like 10-15 years haha
beating a dead horse
@@strub3868make a better game then
@@dramatyst5661 that is such a dumb comment. People can dislike something without being able to do it better, especially if it is something so special than game creation or movies..so take your 5 childish thinking outa here boy.
Worth noting for OSRS that Runelite has several graphics plugins as well. The GPU plugin greatly expands draw distance and adds antialiasing and texture filtering. 117HD is an entire overall of the graphics approved by the developers, Jagex, that keeps the oldschool artstyle but brings in modern shadows, lighting, high framerates, and more.
Don't forget the HDOS client, makes the game look like from the original 2008-2012 era!
im pretty convinced you made this list to talk about osrs again lol
Can neither confirm nor deny
Osrs is goat 🐐
RuneScape and old school RuneScape are easily #1 with guild wars 2 being an incredible mmo that is pretty much free base game. Final fantasy 14 is somewhat free, but will suck you in if you enjoy it and ultimately will not be free once you pay for the sub.
Content wise, OSRS and RS3 have hundreds of hours of free content. Can’t ask for more than that!
I tried the old version of Runescape. I had 4 f2p quests left and it says I broke some serious rules or something. I'm not sure what I did but I'm glad I only put around 30 hours in total. It's whatever I'm downloading guild wars 2 now.
@@shorna-h8mappeal your ban! Jagex support may be able to help - I will say that since it is a free to play game for all ages, it’s important to stay age appropriate in the chat.
@@colbycheese710 Oh, thanks. I didn't know you could appeal it. Yeah, I've barely typed anything in chat besides "where's varrock?" once I believe lol and someone told me about the map. I'll appeal. Had no idea you could haha
i actually started playing gw2 because of your first impression video. Now i’m 200 hours in! and all i could say is thank you for playing gw2 and sharing your experience . If not for you i’d still be a sweaty League player lmao
That's awesome to hear :D glad your enjoying GW2 and good one less sweaty league player is a net positive
@@Waydots I thought sweaty league players are also welcomed in your community :(
Lost ark is not new-player friendly, it's one of the worst new player friendly games.
yeah it's the shittiest in the list
idk im having a blast 2 months in, spent like 10 bucks thus far
@@cielush1848 it's not about money. it's about community
@@Unad777 I won't say I haven't seen toxicity or negativity but I do find the community aspect satisfying, still having a blast, this game's quality is awesome
@@cielush1848 me and most of the people didnt find it that way. good for you then
*Endgame in Final Fantasy 14 is very different than what most of what you will Experience as a New-player while Leveling.*
*It will be Slow(maybe Boring) in the Beginning/Mid-Game, you will not see a noticable difference in difficulty until are atleast Lv 70+.*
*When you are done with MainStory you will have to do A LOT of Unlocks to completly open up the Game for all types of Content.*
*The Difficulty between Super Casual-Leveling Content and the Hardest-Content in the FF14 is very big - So be prepared.*
GW2 and SWOTR all the way.
Gw2 as a free player is horrid
@@Krunkeridleios nah fr
@@rimiriyxd2755 it is, you are very limited, you really need to buy their packs if you want to unlock everything
@@Krunkeridleioslol really no. Gw2 is the best f2p
@@Pinapplexx facts
Good day to all. Thanks for your list and all the hard work up put into it. Currently, I went back to City of Heroes (Homecoming) and found it quite enjoyable ☺️😁
The "full time job" aspect of Lost Ark is no joke: if you want to gather the ressources necessary to upgrade endgame gear you have to play daily with around 6 alt characters, it is really not to be undererstimated. While they did introduce catch-up systems to make it more beginner- or returning-player-friendly to get to that point, it is still quite an extreme grind that can otherwise only be skipped with HEAVY microtransactions.
Great list! coming off a WOW stint and need something to fill the void, I have played GW2 since it released and I havent played osrs since it was just regular runescape.. I'm going to go back to both of them now and give them another shot!
Albion really is fantastic. I tried it a few years ago when the tutorial was even shorter and things were slightly different and couldn't get the hang of it but I've had much less trouble this time around with guides and a guild and all that. Highly recommend! It's got a very similar feel to Oldschool Runescape.
Just started playing Albion recently the nature staff is very good for soloing pve content and its super cheap so I am not that mad if I lose one
Honestly it can be so hard to sort through the chaff these days. Thanks for doing it for us, Waydot! :)
Hey there! Thank you very much for your efforts on the MMO front. I have watched many of your vids and appreciate your time. I have played many many MMOs and co ops overt the years and recently i have been casually playing Adventure Quest 3D. Honestly its pretty good and they are doing a good job with putting in the work. It has many core features and is easy to play. Can I request a full review for as a Casual MMO player?
These lists are made every single month and they're always the same. Why even make these lists???
Cause people watch IT and we literally generate Money by watching it
A little bit biast but Wizard101 gives a very unique way to play to mmorpgs with turn based card gameplay and i'm surprised noone ever mentions it on this types of videos. (also f2p with subscription model)
Really digging these dives into other MMORPGs. In all these videos i've never seen you dive into RIFT and give it a try. Would be curious to see your opinion on it! Was a pretty flourishing game 10 or so years ago, but i hear its nearly dead these days.
@@Ravalion i literally said its dead at the end. Did you even bother to read the entire comment? And do you not even watch his MMO videos? Thats the point of the series is to explore dead MMOs. GTFO off my comment.
Guildwars OG is still my favorite of all time and just recently started playing it again.
Black Desert online is sometimes for sale for only 1 dollar/euro and sometimes even free. Having played everything, I personally like BDO the most :)
10k hr in gw2 , 8k hr in ffxiv and still go on. 100% ruined my life 😂😂😂
xD its never too late!
I would put Rs3 as a top Mmo with a *. If for any reason the suit dummies running Jagex let the devs do what they want for a change, then I could honestly give it a huge recommendation. Sadly the future looks grim. We can only hope a good company like Valve buys out Jagex at this point, but realistically, I don't see Rs3 ever coming back unless the players fight for it. If they actually brought back regular polls for Rs3, and actually listened, the game would sit nicely beside its older looking, yet younger brother.
just decided to get into mmorpgs n while waiting for guild wars 2 to download watched this vid :D glad to see this will be a good intro keeping the rest of these in mind for later on
I just wish Tera Online was still available.. :( Absolutely loved it and it was completely free. Huge world, lots to do, lots of players, very colorful and magical world.
I don't get why so many praise Lost Arks combat so highly. Yes, it's flashy, but it felt always somehow slow or "delayed" for me.
It's a shame, because I like the world, the map completion, dungeons,...
But it's just not fun to play.
Give me Lost Ark with Diablo 4 combat, and my dreams would come true.
Nothing beat Warframe's gameplay and lore
I think the OSRS section understates how necessary membership is and overstates how much content f2p has. The balance is closer to 95% of the game being locked behind members, in my opinion. I do think there's a lot of fun to be had for the first time in f2p but going for high stats there outside of a self imposed challenge isn't really necessary.
I wonder why MIR4 isn't always included when I watch best F2P games in YT. It still has lots of players and best graphics/pvp mechanics than most of the mentioned games in here.
Old school RuneScape are easily #1 tbh... Hundred of f2p hours, unique combat system and skilling.
Surprised that ESO wasn't mentioned. It's actually very healthy and has 10 years worth of content and updates.
ESO isnt free. atleast it wasnt when i bought it a few years ago.
@@628psp Ahh yeah thats true. Forgot it was a F2P list lol.
All these f2p games are way better
you forgot to mention that you HAVE to buy all the expansions if you want to have access to ALL the classes + sub specs of old classes
and why the heck is FF14 online listed as F2P xD
Guild Wars 2 destroyed other MMOs for me... its just too good! :D I just can't play with classic mmos anymore (looking at you FF14), after GW2 did everything soooo well.
Damn, I was gonna try out GW2, but I don't have great internet, and it's a 60GB download.
i tried it wit shitty laptop...still playable with wifi. But i got burned out and stop playing xD. My main problem is that i always bunr up in many mmo and if i stop playing its getting harder to catch up with new story and patches and i hate that. So i love to stick to mmo that doesnt made a lot of chnages after new update or added new effing huge maps. My choice is always Swtor, GW2 and Lotro.
Love this content Waydot. Better see you for WoW S4 baby!!
I would like to point out that FF14 isnt as generous as it may sound. The main sellign point compared to other mmos is the community and guess what you cant really access that with the free trial membership.
You missed Lord of the Rings Online! That game is amazing still and just hit 17 years!
Played a lot of wizard 101 as a kid ff14 recently but man idk how eso isn’t bigger , it’s got all I wanted
The graphics are literal dogshit
without starting the video. its gw2! :) and i say this playing nearly 20 years wow.
Fun fact: Guild Wars 2 used to be a buy to play MMO. That's why it has such high quality.
Fun fact: all they gave the players who bought gw2 pre-f2p was an ugly knight skin no one wants to use.
I will try GW2 and this video deserve a sub! WP!
GW2 was a b2p mmo by the way, that's why you feel it like one 4:44
im still getting back into maplestory and other old games after all these years... like dragon saga too , idk why i didnt get hook by gw2 and all the mmo's uve mentionned in this vid
There's no free MMORPG like Ultima Online Outlands today. Simply the best and trully free.
Heya, @waydots. Could you let me know, what song you used for the Albion footage? For some reason I got some really nostalgic feeling hearing it.
@5:00 you own these games forever* (or until they get shut down)
the song, omg tavern form world of warcraft. so nostalgic
Jesus 😕I've watched the same video In 2023 , 2022 ,2021 same games etc
I still play Runescape 3 to this day and I love it but it's absolutely sad how P2W the game has become. It actually became even more p2w when they released some battle pass shit but they received so much critique they removed it and refunded people who put money into it and apologized because a major amount of people actually cancelled their memberships Atleast that was respectable but it still remains p2w. I am completely okay with cosmetics and stuff being buyable but when it comes to gaining xp it should never be buyable to climb the top ranks. In the long run this is what kills games.
I still think it's a fun game no doubt but it struggles to attract new players and I think it's because it's hard to get into, has terrible F2P content and it has a pretty bad reputation. Because the game is so much about being as efficient as possible with everything it feels like it's not even worth playing in F2P. But the game is not bad. I think more OSRS players should give it a chance, it's a pretty flawed game but it receives more hate than it deserves. While many people quit because of the combat update, I continued to play and I really like it now. They really fixed the problems it had in the beginning.
I also think they need to make the game feel more social and there's tons of dead content and minigames.
It's been P2W for a very long time. Sure it's become more P2W and that yak trak was insanely egregious, but lets not kid ourselves and say that's the only way you've been able to buy XP for real money. Treasure Hunter literally gives BXP and straight up XP. Yes you get keys for free, but you can pay for them and have been able to for 12 YEARS. It's been an option ever since it's inception (Squeal of Fortune). A Friend even maxed an account purely using SoF/TH just to see how much it would cost and at the time it was $13k. It's incredibly expensive yes but it's an option.
I will personally never recommend RS3 to anyone any more. I quit when EoC released, I came back a year or 2 later to give it another chance and actually fell in love again. But over the years Jagex have struggled and struggled to make enough truly exciting content to even want to keep playing. I played last when Necromancy released because I thought it looked cool and I wanted to stay maxed. A new combat style after all these years! Plus you can level it via the skilling portion of the skill? It was kind of interesting, I won't lie, but at the end of the day, RS3 just doesn't feel that good to play any more. It's a shell of what it once was. And no, I didn't even get to 99 never mind 120, I got so bored because it was still RS3.
There's dead content because there's no reason to do it. The power creep in RS3 made it so lower tier gear is completely useless unless you use it for, say, invention materials. In terms of minigames, are they:
1. Fun enough to play (not sure many people in RS3 are actually bothered about playing minigames with a clan/community at this point)
2. Rewarding enough to play
If the answer is no to either or both of those, it is what it is. There's a reason OSRS keeps its playerbase and content doesn't truly die. There's always a reason to do stuff. Like barbarian assault, the fighter torso is still good. Like pest control, void is still strong. Barrows gear is still good. Like when they released Nex, did it mean Bandos is completely useless because of Torva? No, Bandos is still really good, but you also need it to make Torva. There's plenty of other examples. The power creep exists but its not NECESSARY to have the new gear. RS3 makes it close to necessary to have the BiS gear setups.
And yes the new player experience is absolutely horrendous, one of the most confusing, unintuitive UI's to ever exist in an MMORPG (though I will say once you know how to use it, the amount of customization is very good), a generally not good tutorial experience and a massive paywall if you wanted to play completely F2P and buy bonds for membership. Not sure what the best GP/H is for a F2P player but have fun making the 140m or whatever it is now every 2 weeks.
Recommending RS3, IMO, is a very risky thing to do. While there is a decent, fun game there, it's hidden under piles and piles of corpses of content that is dead, under the horrible economy and under the thumb of the higher ups who wanna milk as much as they can from the players while the game survives. There is a very good reason RS3 gets a bad rep.
Rambles 5 min about free to play literally first game he shows is not free to play.
Yes it is.
honestly i don't like the guild wars 2.I just can't explain what this game needs :/.You might find this weird but I chose the necromancer class so I could raise skeletons or something cos I feel better when something is helping me out or something anywho I got rid of the game after downloading the game for three days since my net is super slow not sure if I will be back to that game.The only thing that I miss about the game is the time I took to customize my character lol damn he was cute :v
I never understand why so many times ff14 is featured in free to play when its not free to play it has a free trial, but the game is subscribe to play
Because the free to play trial features hundreds of hours of potential content. Its literally the same thing as guild wars 2 its just they call it "expansions" and "base game" but it's the exact same monetization premise and it's worth mentioning.
If you call GW2 f2p, I'd say BDO should be included. I got it free and its constantly on sale for $1.
I am so tired of the RS3 slander... RS3 is no worse a "free to play mmo" than osrs as they both share the exact same subscription model. In fact; with a RS3 subscription you get osrs included in that subscription. Sure the monetization is much worse than osrs, but the p2w aspects of the game literally only affects the person paying the money. If you wanna play completely free whether that be with a mainscape account or ironman you will not be affected by the microtransactions unless you choose to participate. As far as PVE content goes RS3 is far and away the better game as it has so much more PVE content. Of course if youre looking for PVP then osrs is where youll need to be since RS3 has all but completely done away with PVP content. There really needs to be a more nuanced discussion on this subject, because the continuous RS3 bashing that is happening is only going to end up hurting both versions of Runescape.
The problem isn't that RS3 isn't good, sure you got the OS mega nerds that would bash on it, even if it legit was doing better. The problem is the constant push for MTX, while pushing game updates to the back line. Take all the money you want from TH it doesn't bother me, but take that money and put game updates as top priority. Its the greed people are mad at, they don't do the same to their other game.
While i disagree mostly with what you said here, how exactly did i bash rs3?
I pointed out the good qualities, and some bad, and still offered runescape 3 as a runner up.
But for someone wanting to try a new f2p mmo in 2024; osrs is almost always the better option because:
1. Consistent quality updates
2. Less predatory loot box mechanics that prey on gambling addiction
3. More communication from the mod team
4. 5x larger daily average playercount
5. Easier to navigate UI for new players
I could go on, but osrs is definitely the better choice espeecially this year which hasnt even seen a major content update for rs3 and its already almost may.
@@WaydotsMy comment was not directed specifically at the comments you made in the video. I believe the criticism you have for RS3 is quite fair. Obviously RS3 gets a lot of hate from the OSRS community and I was expressing my exasperation with the abundance of “rs3 bad” takes when the two games really aren’t as different as what most people make out. You stated you disagreed with most of my original post. I obviously believe what I said to be true and accurate and I am curious as to how you disagree with my previous statements. We agree on the MTX which I believe has no place in RuneScape and is in fact predatory. I’m curious about how you disagree with the other statements I made however.
Completely agreed with GW2 its has the best community
idk man i ve tried every game u mentioned but nothing beats albion online in MMORPG Experience, i have like 21 discords channel for albion, there just too many people to play with, its MMO ofc we need big communities, not solos
Yeah just her to recommend Blade and souls.
After playing it 260 days od my life and not spending money. The story is getting bigger, the fres stuff is ridiculously, and the combat system is by far the best i had in any MMO! And i played everything since 2000..
So yeah there a lot more games then these in the video...
1. Tera Online (dead but still alive), currently on private servers like MT: The Dreams or Starscape, Tera is way more alive that was ever been in the last few years before official servers shut down.
2. Metin2, yep... another Gameforge title, and one that not many are even taken in serious... =)) / But still the game is hugely active on the official servers from Gameforge (not steam, no one play it on steam lol... xd ), and also there are private servers with like from 5 to 20k unique player /24h and like 1 - 2k online at any time, those are numbers that cam easily enter the top 100 steam chart, and is not one or two servers like that are quite a loot of them (Shira, Loranda, Elveron, Rodnia, Caliope, Azyrah Origins2, Alaska2, WoM2, Aerion2) and many others and hundreds if not thousands of smaller ones (PS: like 99% of them are in Europe and Turkey, most of them have English available, but keep in mind that they are targeting specific regions where the game is most played, so don't expect much...)
3. Silkroad Online
The only MMORPG I play is Warhammer Age of reckoning on the free server and it is a freaking ancient game. I want good old pvp driven game and none of these offer it. Maybe Albion at some extend. I am sad I can't try the first Guild Wars game, friends say it had best guild wars and 4vs4 arenas.
Guild Wars 1 is still around. Though you have to buy it to play it.
maybe you want record video about Endlessforest? Game will have new version :)
Waydot, not sure if it's your type, but I'd love to see a review of Warhammer Online private server...
Thanks!
I would consider Lost Ark more of an ARPG than an MMO. You do not see that many people around to make it "MM"
TL + GW2. Absolute Best.
My favorite truly free to play MMORPG in 2024 is City of Heroes. It's better than many games on this list and is truly 100% free to play.
F2P is implying that the entire game is F2P(Or it should). FFXIV is not, its capped at a certain level and a lot of things are locked behind actually buying the game. That's like saying WoW is F2P even though the F2P is locked after level 20 and you can't do much on a F2P account. Not sure why people add it to their "F2P" list.
Just found your channel in the last few days. good work here.
Guys try out RS3
i am not sure if i would say RS skill system is unique, imo it is derivation of ultima online system
also if you like skilling up noncombat way and dont mind ondschool graphics, look at wurm online (or solo-friendly version wurm unlimited)
How do I get ffxiv free trial? Is it purchasing in steam? Or website
only if you make your account through the website
Free to play games. Game one you need to pay a monthy fee to play all content. yeah nice video...
I play both of your top two - good stuff right there, glad to know I can just keep playing these games 😎
The fact that people are playing OSRS, blows my mind..
Hey I'm in this video too! Hell yea go Albion! Good video and succinctly summarizes your various videos over the last few months. Looking forward to the FFXIV review!
so basicly in free to play mmo rpgs video there are only 3 free to play games, and rest of them isnt free to play xd, guild wars 2 is kind of free trial before buying expansions for 120 dollars
Every game on this list is definitionally free to play and widely agreed to be free to play by the majority of the mmo community
Just because a game offers a subscription or extra content doesnt mean you cant play the game (and lots of it) for $0.00
GW2 is amazing mmorpg, BUT it always was so badly optimised, no matter what specs my pc is its always performing really bad, fps keeps jumping around like crazy
lmao albion online subscription was 18m in that clip.. its 27m now :(
What is coming out soon?
rs3 is great, kust playit ironman mode.
osrs is easily the best progression in any game ever.
If this list is about 15 year old games, Rift and Runes of Magic are still alive. Way better than this list.
great video bro,for me the best f2p version would be FFA XIV in terms of content and Runescape the best in terms of restrictions,GW2 seems to me an incredible MMO and in fact I play it for about 2 years being f2p player but I consider that its restrictions of character and endgame content makes the experience once you reach level 80 is very limited,reason why I chose to buy the expansions.
Runescape and OSRS are not FREE TO PLAY, there is a extremely limited free to play version, but pretty much 90% of content is behind paywall
why no one is talking about allods online ?
the same 5 oldies that the thing i tried all and they suck
RIP Lost Ark, easiest modern expression of burn out
You don't recomment Neverwinter in your other video and you put it into best f2p mmos list.
Yep, and i even explained why in this very video! shocking!
not sure if you know this but FF14 is not a free mmorpg so idk why its in the video
Unless speaking about private servers or really old games, there are no MMORPGs that are definitionally "free".
Final Fantasy 14 is most definitely considered a F2P game with the option to purchase a subscription later on. There is hundreds of hours of content that can be completed within the free trial and its disingenuous to say otherwise, MOST mmo players consider FF14 to be "F2P"
fun fact you did not say anything about lotro as it's really nice f2p game
I mentioned lotro as a runner up in the end of the video.
@@Waydots thanks then
Do you have a "Best Pay 2 Play" video in mind?
Cabal man, free to play 😎👍
The game is very good only up to Radiant Hall patch, but after that.......And also unfortunately often destroyed by unprofessionalism management when it's about money. Even the official developer obviously release an update to change a mechanism for rich but lazy hand players so skilled players can't make fun rich players anymore. It's all about the money.😁😁
Lord of the rings online.... 200+ hours of free content up to level 95. Yes, there is a store, but you can have a great time without spending a dime.
please do a fallout 76 or aion "is it worth playing" love the others
FFXIV should not be on list... Free trial is not F2P if it was then you would most likely have to recommend WoW too as that has a free trial too.
dont forget guild wars 2 used to be pay to play
I'm hoping gw3 gets released soon enough

Gw2 is great.
