At the moment, I'm playing Perfect World Online

It's a fairly interesting MMO based on Chinese mythology. It's one of the few MMO's I've played with a fairly balanced PvP system, and which lacks some of the usual classes (rogue, paladin). Has fairly good party and guild systems, and has some options for soloing even at high levels. The grind is about the same as any MMO (not as bad with a group as it is solo), but breaks it up a little bit with quests, weekly events, special dungeons, and guild vs guild pvp. Most of the player base seems to be 16+, but have run into a fair number of people 21+ within the guild I joined. It offers both PvE (players vs enemy) and PvP (player vs player) servers. Both require killing monsters to level up, and both allow the option of PvP, just on the PvP server, PvP is always enabled, making hunting, or even walking around between towns, a bit more of a challenge.

 

It's F2P with a cash shop. You don't NEED to buy anything in the cash shop, but many things in the cash shop can make life alot easier. There is also an option to buy gold (used in the cash shop) from other players with the ingame currency (what you get from killing and selling stuff to NPCs) so even if you do not want to spend any real money on the game, you can still make use of the cash shop if you have the money for it ingame. Getting money ingame varies depending on class, but for those who can learn what sells to other players well, money usually isn't that hard to get.

 

The skill system is class based, where every class has their own skill set, with skills being leveled up over time by paying money and spirit (another form of exp) at a trainer. In this way, you can technically learn every skill for your class, are best sticking with a single group of good skills until you have enough spirit and money to invest in others.

 

 

Another one I played for awhile was Air Rivals

 

This is a bit of a different kind of MMO, taking many elements of FPS games with the same sort of leveling, class, and skill systems found in RPGs. This game, has been owned by a few different companies in the past, and currently has 2 companies who are running servers for it. Some of the graphics may seem a bit dated (2005ish) but that doesn't diminish the more fun aspects of the game... Flying around, shooting stuff. The real time combat system alone makes this game particularly fun, especially when you are in a large air battle with 200+ people.

 

This game is rather competitive, and has more or less imposed PvP once you get past a certain point. Put simply, once you get out of the training area, you are forced to join one of two opposing factions. Neither faction has any real, hard coded advantage over the other, but instead may have an advantage of numbers or player skill. This means, that once you join a side, you become a part of how capable that side is at defending areas owned by that side. You can still be a loner, pitching in, but will ultimately benefit from working with other members of your side. There is still some level grinding in this game, however, depending on what sort of craft you're using, some times are more challenging than others, and periodic invasions in territories owned by your side can provide a needed distraction. As far as PvP goes, when you kill a member of the other side, you get a killmark which can be used to gain experience... Although you probably won't be able to use these until higher levels, by the time you can, they can help out alot.

 

I've been taking a break from Dragon Age and playing Perfect World, I wasn't impressed with it to begin with but it's grown on me. Defiantly one of the better quality free MMOs.

That's funny. I've pretty much taken back everything good I had to say about PW back in August, and havn't had any interests in going back. They simply screwed the economy far too much to make middle-higher level play possible without dumping a few hundred dollars into the game.
