I've got a thing for Free 2 play games. I like to see how fun.. and how FREE they actually are. My current test is Champions.. its eh okay so far.
Biggest downside I've noticed so far is the real customization of a character is behind the pay wall(Free to play are pretty much stuck in archtypes with minimal power customization). I'll post more thoughts on it later, or maybe I won't.. who knows
Other free to play games I Play.
World of tanks
.. cant go wrong here its a fun game you can jump in and out of pretty easily.
Downside is the Upper Tier tanks are so expensive for repairs you need to either get premium to offset it. (Premium members get more cash and xp in each battle). Or if you wanna stay F2P you have to keep a lower tier tank and grind money with it to afford to run your high tier tank.
Not to mention the match making system can be infuriating.
DDO
Good game, its instance based so can get repetitive. Good side is.. you can technically grind out the Turbine points and never spend a dime.. not easily.. but it can be done. Means all Content could technically be free.(but given the time sink it takes to do that its easier to catch turbine points on sale unless you're unemployed or someone with TONS of free time)
Star trek online
I'll comment on this when i get around to it. Its waiting to be installed and when i get bored of champions online this will be the next one I test.
