I’ve recently been looking into free MMOs since I’m
sitting around waiting for Guild Wars 2 to come out, but I don’t want to spend
money in the meantime.
What I’ve found to tide me over is Lord of the Rings Online.
A long time ago (in high school, I think) I read the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
And then the movies came out and I saw them all in the theatre. I also own the
DVD box set to complete my nerd status. Anyways, having been a fan of this
series for quite some time, I thought I would give the MMO a try.
Overall, I’ve been pretty happy with it. Some quests are
only available if you pay for extra content, and for now I’ve mostly avoided
that kind of stuff. There’s also a cash shop in case you want to buy something
you aren’t finding while questing in game. There’s something homey about
running around Middle Earth, which Tolkien fans know so well.
I’ve also spent some time playing Eden Eternal, another free
game. It’s more of a cutesy game and your characters are highly customizable. I
find that it’s aesthetically pleasing and amusing to play. Definitely good for
downtime after a long day at work.
Obviously, there are more than two choices when it comes to
finding a fun free MMORPG to play these days. These are just the two I’m
filling my time with right now. Have you played any good MMOs lately?
