Top 5 Best Free MMO Games


With 100+ free MMO games available, it can
be hard to find the best ones. Since I’ve been playing free MMOs for
the last few years, I decided to write up my own top 5 free MMOs list.
This list will not include any MMORPGs, but rather strictly MMOs. Browser
games
will also be excluded from this list. The difference between
MMOs and MMORPGs is that MMOs are not strictly RPGs, but rather sports,
shooters and strategy games with RPG elements. Anyway, the 5 games
below are must-plays for everyone. Check them all out!


#1 League of Legends

As a big fan of DotA and
Heroes of Newerth I loved League of Legends. The game is by Riot Games
and features unique anime style art. The game is distinctly different
than DotA in terms of both graphics and gameplay. Sure both games are
“Aeon of Strife” games, but League of Legends has an original cast of
heroes, while Heroes of Newerth copied many characters from DotA. The
only other game in the genre which is Heroes of Avalon from Alaplaya,
but I strongly recommend League of Legends of it, as it’s the best MMO
strategy / Aeon of Strife game out there.


#2 Lost Saga

OGPlanet really
surprised me with Lost Saga, as I was never a fan of Rumble Fighter,
LaTale or
even Cabal Online (OGPlanet
doesn’t even publish this anymore). Lost Saga is an incredibly fun
cartoony fighting MMO that plays like Rumble Fighter, except with much
more customization and playable characters. What’s really fun about the
game is that it has many games modes and numerous different ways to
play each mode. Players can really customize their character anyway
that they like, as each of the game’s many characters level up
independently from each other. If you like fighting MMOs, this one is a
must play.


#3 Grand Chase

Grand Chase from Ntreev isn’t exactly too
impressive in terms of graphics, but its a fun cooperative MMO. It’s
actually one of the only cooperative MMOs out there! I don’t know why,
as co-op games are always fun. Like Ntreev’s other games, Pangya and Trickster Online,
Grand Chase is an anime MMORPG.
Not one of those Cute
MMORPGs
like Luna Online, but still
an anime themed game. The game is probably most like Lunia than anything else, as
the game is very linear. I really liked Grand Chase because I liked
Lunia. So if you’re into cooperative stage based MMOs, Grand Chase is
worth trying!


#4 Tales Runner

I’ve never been a big fan of
racing MMOs,
but for some reason I really like Tales Runner from gPotato! Aside from
Tales Runner the only other good game from gPotato is Aika Online and Fly
For Fun
in my opinion. Tales Runner is fun because its an original
racing game. Every other racing MMO features cars, but Tales Runner
doesn’t! Instead, it’s a track racing MMO, meaning players race on foot.
The level designs are also really cool and challenging. If you’re even
remotely interested in racing games, do check out Tales Runner.


#5 Exteel

Exteel is a sweet mech themed sci-fi MMO
from NCsoft
that plays like games from the Armored Core series. You get to build
and customize your own mech and battle against other players online in
fast paced combat. Think of Exteel as S4 League or GunZ, but
with giant robots instead! Awesome right? Exteel’s strongest point is
definitely its super in depth customization. The game has like hundreds
of different pats that players can mix and match. Check this game out
asap if you never played it.
