Yup. I’m trying 3 F2P MMOs, 2 of which are fairly new, and one which is… not. I’ll hopefully get reviews in before the new year, but no promises, because I’m really bad at sticking with these games.
First is Vindictus, which is an action-heavy MMO built on Celtic Mythology. It is published by Nexon. It’s made with the Source engine from Valve, and has been very popular in Korea. Early impressions are incredible. It’s a ton of fun, and even grinding for materials to craft equipment feels fun and rewarding. It feels similar to Monster Hunter, but I’m not sure if that was the goal. My only real complaints so far are the inability to block gold farmers/selling services and the network lag when running the instanced dungeons.
Second is Mabinogi, which is made by the same company as Vindictus. I… haven’t played that much yet, but a lot of the people I know who play it love it. It’s an isometric, cartoony point and click MMO, with a seemingly heavy emphasis on the RP part of MMORPG.
Finally, I’m trying Legend of Edda. This game is… overwhelmingly cute. I haven’t played any of it at the moment, but it’s supposedly heavy on the PVP, which is nice.
If anyone wants to play with me, I will be adding my information for all 3 games once I get settled in, or you can comment and I’ll try to get back to you as soon as possible.
