    This is UOF - which is basically UO the way it was back in the renaissance era (or however you spell it).
    No trammel
    No malas.
    No asian lands.

    Just felucca. Open world PvP, housing, etc.
    All the good stuff, without any of the bad stuff. And it's all F2p.
    the forced pvp is the only thing that stops my trying it

    There's an edge to it,. they might be allowed to kill and hunt you - but you can do the same.
    And there's a bountyhunter's board as well.

    Good question! I'm not entirely sure as it's been a while since I last played. There must be a FAQ on the site about it somewhere, I'd imagine.

    I'd go for SWTOR whatever people say... the storyline up to maxlevel is quite nice if you cba to follow it and it plays out kinda like wow in gameplay and feeling. If nothing else, atleast the level-journey up to cap is worth the money imo!

    Plus it's cool with lightsabers! ;P

    So the F2P model is really a great way to get a feel for the game, and see if you want to play preferred/subscription. Aside from that, it offers all of the fun of the class storylines and such, which are quite good and enjoyable, if you ask me.

    TOR is a great game. If you want to subscribe, you get more, much more than a free player ever would, indeed, but instead of comparing it to a full F2P mode, I think it's better to compare it to WoW's 'F2P' mode, where you can only level to 20, cannot use chat, cannot use mail, cannot do... Well; anything other than LFG, really. All of a sudden, TOR's introduction mode is pretty good, huh?

    Edit: So yeah; give TOR a try, see if you like it. Other recommedations from me: Rift and Dungeons and Dragons Online. Rift has by far the most honest F2P model out of any MMO (though it takes a hell of a grind to unlock the necessary things in it; you'll have to buy a credits pack for in-game gold from someone who bought it off the online store for real money, and that pack usually costs around 1000 gold (platinum?) if I'm not mistaken).
    D.D.O. is a pretty good game, but you'll soon get to the point of running quests time and again in order to progress, and there's a few unfair DnD mechanics in there like 'Save or Die' spell effects. In addition, if you really want to get to end-game, you'll have to buy expansions with money (or tokens you earn by progressing, which takes a lóóng time). Still, it's a fun game, with many fun mechanics inspired by Dungeons and Dragons 3.5.
    I've had this argument a hundred times.
    Problem still being that SWTOR is being called F2P, when it's really still P2P.
    WoW is being called P2P, with a very, very limited trial.
    That's it.

    Buy and play Final Fantasy 14 A realm reborn.

    You will NOT fine a better representation of a realm MMORPG then that game. The Quest are amazing, the character/job combination is invigorating an the end game requires team work from your server.

    Rift was lame before and now that it went f2p it's even worse.

    Almost kinda agree with everything you said, but I do think those games especially SWTOR and Tera are worth a shot, since it is free after all.

    It looks like yes, you need to at some point purchase those expansions to get content unlocked. The level cap is not restricted for free players. This FAQ might be helpful -
    http://lotro-wiki.com/index.php/Acco...nsion_Best_Buy

    I admit their system is labyrinthine to say the least, obviously buying expansion licenses and subscribing is the best way to get everything for the best price vs pay-as-you-go. However, the game is very flexible in that if you play as a VIP (subscribed) player and can't subscribe for a month here and there, you don't lose a whole lot as upgrades mostly stick around.

    it's an emulated version of UO which have always been of questionable at best legality although Origion/EA has hardly ever done any action against it. I doubt most people would find UO appealing nowadays

    The pvp isn't that bad. You actually get to keep the items off the people you kill. That said, there was hardly ever anything worth of value so it was easily replaced or not taken at all.

    yes it's a nintendo ds game that isn't an mmo. Not sure why it was brought up. Still a decent game though

    since this is a really old version of UO they are emulating it should have 100% support. It will then have any additions they have personally added. The shard is a year old and seems to be fairly recommended and stable.

    the forced pvp with full loot drops and true risk vs reward is what defines that game, so don't bother. ive never got adrenaline rushes in a mmo anywhere close to that of UO.
