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.

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!

[@JonnieCore42]

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.

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.

[@JustinK0]

yea i like rs3 a lot more than osrs so its a shame to see all the recent issues with 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)

[@cupcaketyrantdar2483]

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.

Guild Wars 2 is expensive for a new player who has to pay for all the expansions and pay for inventory and character slots to fully enjoy the game. It's incredible how many people are fooled by this game.

[@blagovestgeorgiev2041]

with over 10k hours in gw2 and all expansions (except the last one) I fully support this comment. Arena net became a nightmare in the last couple of years and don't care about anything except woke community and money. The peak of their hypocricy is how much they care about their own game having in mind how bad they are in fixing bugs and the quality of the story which is literally imbecile level story generated by an AI (too bad if it's been produced by real ppl). I've quit the game like 6 months ago and do not plan on going back for now. LOTRO on the other hand seems a decent old schoold MMO

[@drewgilchriest3507]

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.

[@Gutigwolfe]

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.

[@Waydots]

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.

[@drewgilchriest3507]

@@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.

[@benceplatthy4424]

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.

[@thewildhealer541]

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.

[@Blythor17]

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.

Anet have abandoned PVP in GW2, the spec balance is consistantly very bad for years, with OP specs going months before getting fixed, and the match making system consistantly puts top players in the same games as casual players, who will stomp you into the gorund. Currently, the best 3 specs all use the latest spear weapon, so if you don't buy the expantion/s to allow that, you will have to play a spec that is worse. Playing as a F2P in pvp is not reccomended, 99% of expantion specs will stomp you. The PVE side seems good if that is what you are into.

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.

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

[@awwbeeh9917]

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

If this list is about 15 year old games, Rift and Runes of Magic are still alive. Way better than this list.

[@MrKamko16]

i like classic rpg loot system something like wow or runes of magic not like in throne and liberty where youi get item then you lvl it up i mostlyuy liked wow but i have nor the willingnes to pay for it cus i spend a lot too much money for it nor will to play it by 60 time so did anyone have a good recomendation i watched the video but still i dont know

[@allstarpascal3365]

Jesus 😕I've watched the same video In 2023 , 2022 ,2021 same games etc

[@swepo5719]

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

[@Waydots]

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

[@powerplaybg007]

The fact that people are playing OSRS, blows my mind..

[@JBat-rk1qp]

I play both of your top two - good stuff right there, glad to know I can just keep playing these games 😎

what about bdo?

[@mohamedadel7856]

fun fact you did not say anything about lotro as it's really nice f2p game

[@Waydots]

I mentioned lotro as a runner up in the end of the video.

Waydot, not sure if it's your type, but I'd love to see a review of Warhammer Online private server... Thanks!

[@darylshort2729]

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.

[@Grokl-f8n]

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.

[@anthonyg6083]

GW2 is awesome. Just ran out of Computer space for it. OSRS is the GOAT of old @$$ games. Albion felt slow start like any MMO and I didn't like the gfx at first. FF14..played prequels, loved em but this one never got passed making an account for it. One day I'll be able to figure it out and play :D Never played, Lost Ark seems great but P2W heavy, same for Neverwinter. SWTOR - Never played - Heard it is incredible especially for Star Wars fans, which I am one.

[@Dreamlink91]

Anyone still here in 2054?

[@ivanfernandez6255]

skynet is searching for you

[@AndreEngCvilPoli]

There's no free MMORPG like Ultima Online Outlands today. Simply the best and trully free.

[@viktorh69]

Guys try out RS3

[@xsatansgodx9272]

not sure if you know this but FF14 is not a free mmorpg so idk why its in the video

[@Waydots]

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"

[@JustinK0]

You can play ARR, HW and STB with unlimited game time without paying any money.. if thats not free to play idk what is.. of course they want you to buy the other expansions after but its up to you when.
