Well I came to say Planetside 2, but if you don't like it. I dunno.

I never said I don't like it, I can't run it! I played for like 5 minutes, and the moment I saw someone on the other team, my FPS dropped to like 6...

I would recommend you to play "Lord of the Rings Online" :-)
It has a huge world to discover and you don't need to pay real money for the Item Shop, because you can also earn "Turbine Points" (the Shop Currency) by playing (but that takes a lot of time :-/ ) And it's more realistic, so the weapons and Armor don't shine / look like candy/ ect ... ^^
If you like this game, you should consider to buy the "Mithril Starter Pack" ;-)

If you are Interested in Housing: There are special zones (one from every Race, but you are not limited to the houses of your race, which means you can live as Elve in a dwarf-house ^.^) , where you can buy a House (an there are Houses for Guilds too ;-) ) which you can decorate (not which such freedom as in The Sims or so)
Comment has been collapsed.
Okay, so EQII, LoTRO, and Vanguard all allow me to buy houses and guild halls... Still at the top of my list...

+1, one of the best experiences in MMOs I had was on LOTRO

That what people keep leaning toward, I wish people would start talking about the other games too...

Lord of the Rings Online is truly a great MMO, especially if You're into that LOTR stuff. It has nice crafting system and questing feels like You're reading the book.
Also, I recommend Fallen Earth, if the one thing You look most forward to such games is crafting, as crafting in FE is really massive and it's really nice that You can customize the way You're dressed so much.

TERA online is going f2p next month, now you can play in endless trial. It's second best MMo after GW2 made in last few years. You don't have to pay for a boxed TERA to play in f2p model.
Yeah it's this game with skimpy armors and amazing action-like combat mechanics. Can be played on xbox360/ps3 CONTROLLER with no problem.

Dang... 26gb... I have 400+ but I don't want to waste my HDD on a game... I might check it out... I'll add that and to the OP and people can tell me what they think there.

Okay, thanks for the input... Any particular reason WHY you like it?
Comment has been collapsed.
Planetside 2 promises to be but it has high demands and it is rather new game.
Personally, I played in "Lord of the Rings Online" and not accounted for me to taste, in my opinion the game does not reflect the climate the film or book and is very focused on profit.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, the thing is, I can't run Planetside 2, that's why I put it in the don't recommend area... But you are saying LotRO isn't good? Other than the reason you gave, why don't you like it?

EverQuest II is a fantastic game. Haven't played it for a year and a half now though.
Comment has been collapsed.
That was one of the ones I looked at, what was it that made the game good in your opinion?
Comment has been collapsed.
The world of Norrath is alive, I enjoyed reading quests, lore books, random dialogues. The game has a lot of content for any type of gameplay, there are many raid bosses to be slain or you can just redecorate your guild hall if you so desire. And my favourite: female armour is a real armour and not "armoured" bikini.
Comment has been collapsed.
Okay, and that's a plus that not all armor is some skimpy armor that somehow protects you from everything... And you said decorate a guild hall, so you can get a guild hall and decorate it? What about housing? Do they have player homes?
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes, they do. There are different houses in several different towns ranging from hotel rooms to mansions. There are also three types of guild halls. Different kind of furniture and decorations can be found in the world and crafted.

Okay, EQII is going higher up on the list... I want to know where this compares to LoTRO and Vanguard, no one has said anything about the others...
Comment has been collapsed.
I haven't played Lord of the Rings myself, just heard that it gets repetitive quick.
I tried Vanguard when it was brand new and I didn't like it. To begin with I was lagging like hell, and when playing it was bearable I found very visually unappealing game with awkward interface. But like I said it was very long time ago and I played it only briefly.
Comment has been collapsed.
Okay, but the games at the top of my list are EQII, Vanguard, and LoTRO...
Comment has been collapsed.
Sorry, can't help you there then. Although what I can say is that when SOE introduced F2P concept to EverQuest II, this F2P was limited in some areas and if one wanted to enjoy end-game content it was more like P2W. I don't know it they changed it.
Comment has been collapsed.
Okay, I'm not going to end up doing story most likely, I don't know... I just wanted a game where a guild could play together in. And I wanted the game to be good of course.
Comment has been collapsed.
EverQuest II is suitable for that. And it's a good game.
Comment has been collapsed.
What about LoTRO and Vanguard? People keep saying LoTRO and EQII but no one mentions the others, one or two people said Vanguard...
Comment has been collapsed.
Vanguard seemed to me like poor-man's version of EverQuest II. It had less of the same and worse quality. That was my impression and that's why I didn't play it. Admittedly I don't know jack about Vanguard.

If you like ARPG's (Hack&Slash), Path of Exile is in Open Beta since yesterday and its pretty awesome, not on steam though.
Comment has been collapsed.
Ya, I'd prefer we use Steam and stuff... There are a few that I looked at that aren't on Steam like SWToR, but I didn't like that much in my playtime... But then again, I was on the trial version and now it's F2P...

It's not on Steam, but I really enjoyed AION while it was P2P .. haven't touched it since it became F2P (my account access got lost in the transfer, support is still working on it).

Okay, I still want Steam games but any non-steam games can be put in another pile for me to sift through...

One thing that is really attracting me to Vanguard Saga of Heroes is that you can buy a house, I love getting houses in games... But in Everquest II (don't know about I) you can ride a dragon it looks like... I don't know if that's a P2P thing though...

I've played Everquest, LoTRO, and Vanguard of the games you've listed. If you are going to play f2p instead of paying a monthly fee, Vanguard offers the most up front. LoTRO is a great game if you enjoy the story, you can really get in to doing a lot of the quests, especially in Moria. Everquest is nothing like it was originally (when I played), and its a ton of levels to reach the current endgame, and I hear it is pretty lonely on the way up. EQ has had its day, if you really want to play it I'd recommend Project 1999 instead, its the original EQ and first expac only, of course not on Steam. I've just recently started playing Vanguard, my first impression was meh, but I stuck through the early part, and am really enjoying it so far (level 12). Vanguard is pretty empty right now, not sure if it'll pick up with the recent f2p changes. LoTRO has more people, if you play f2p and really work at it, you can earn most of the content without paying a dime, it requires doing a lot of achievements though. My understanding is that DDO has the same sort of f2p system as LoTRO, but I've never played it.
Comment has been collapsed.
Okay, so LoTRO is great for story, Vanguard is great for no payments, EQ isn't as good anymore, and DDO is similar to LoTRO maybe?
In MMO's, I never get attached to stories... I don't think I've found one that I liked... But I playing with other guild members and owning/maintaining guilds... Someone said EQII is great, are you talking about EQ I or II?

I went there, and on the main page... It's women in skimpy armor... That's a turnoff for me... Plus it's not on Steam...

Well, I'm not a Star TREK fan but I am a Star Wars fan. I tried the SWTOR game and I don't like it, too many restrictions, but I never tried STO just because it wasn't my movie.

The grinding I don't mind, I think it's fun, but TERA is not on Steam which is the problem, but since two people have recommended it, then I might take a look.

Okay, well, I guess I'll check it out next month... I don't like paying subscriptions...
Comment has been collapsed.
Dragon Nest? But only available to certain regions on Steam. And you need to be in the same region and server in order to play together.
I see you didn't list the Batman game either, Gotham City Impostors.
I recommend Warframe, although it's not on Steam, but it's fun and looks great. Or Firefall. But I don't like it that much cause it takes up way too much interwebs for me and needs so much to run smoothly.
Comment has been collapsed.
OOOOoohh... Ya... The batman game... I tried that one and I just got bored of it... Plus, I want the open world games... Not the levels and shtuff... But I didn't think of Dragon Nest, I'll take a look. The only problem is, I know quite a few people that were int he old guild (before I took over) and they were from other countries...

Firefall and warframe are still in beta mode. You'll need a key but it's not hard to find. I have spares I think.

I got a key for warframe because they are giving them away, but firefall looks too cartoony... I'll stick with warframe for now, thanks!

I looked at Dragon Nest, it looks a little cartoony... I'll put it in the OP I just don't know if I'd like it, plus the whole region thing...

It can be pretty addictive though. To level up and stuff, cause you'll get awesome combos and shizz. I know a number of people totally addicted to it.
Also, Air Mech and Tribes Ascend. Friends play those and they do like it. Don't know much about Air Mech. Been wanting to try out Tribes myself.
Comment has been collapsed.
I tried Tribes a while back and liked it, but it wasn't open world which is what I'm wanted for a guild to play through... I didn't think of Air Mech...
EDIT: It's top down, I don't like that stuff...

I've played Forsaken World... Wasn't that bad but problem is quests are way repetative. And if you don't plan to spend real money on that game you're probably going to be bashed in PVP.

Then I won't play it, I don't want to be the worst guild in the game because everyone else payed for god weapons...
Comment has been collapsed.
Forsaken World could've been something if it hadn't aped the EQ2 formula every step of the way (along with a dash of built-in F2P cash shop greediness). I wouldn't recommend it unless the person I was reccing to was someone I had a grudge against. Even for PvE, playing without spending cash leaves you pretty much hopeless against any cash spender. Mounts, for example. Not to mention pets, and equipment, and...

Then I won't get that game... I hate F2P games because of this right here, but I have no method of payment...

I recommend LOTRO. If you are a fan of Tolkien lore or wow playstyle without having to dish out sub fee, LOTRO is for you. Also if you solo'ing lotro is very fun imo. Im more of a solo player (dont have time to wait on people etc) so this fit my play-style very much. On non-steam client I have over 700 hours punched.
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh wow, I love the LoTR series and so that's why I added it... I can be a solo player but I'm the kind of guy that goes solo, and then joins up with a guild to fight something big or to share loot and stuff, and that's the way my guild works... But anyways, LoTRO seems like everyone likes it, LoTRO is now #1 on the list, EQII is #2, and Vanguard is #3...

Can you play it with a friend without problems? One time I tried to play with friend we got separated for a bit and when we tried to meet it seemed like we got put on different servers (got sure world and place is the same but couldn't find each other and one couldn't see players other did)

You can play it with your friends, I see that this game is no more available in my region. Sad :(

Path of Exile is 100% free to play, for everyone, forever. Our website will allow the purchase of many in-game perks and aesthetic upgrades, but all of these are completely optional, and players can have a complete, fulfilling gaming experience without spending a penny. "

I liked that game, but the problem with it was I can't run it, I can run Skyrim with little to no lag, I can run Oblivion modded to hell and back with no lag, but I can't play this game, Planetside 2, or Minecraft...

I know right... I play Oblivion on the best textures with no lag, and Minecraft on the lowest possible setting with a mod to make them lower and I still lag...

So, a while back, I joined a guild that loved to play the F2P games because not everyone had money to waste, and we all had a great time. A few months ago, the leader left and hasn't been on it 80 days now... So I decided to take over, and rebuild us... The problem is, I don't want to play Fallen Earth over and over, and most of our members got bored of it. So I want to know, what is the Steamgifts community's favorite F2P MMO? This means no TF2 for hat sharing....
The ones I've checked out are:
Vanguard: Saga of Heroes #3
Continent of the Ninth Seal
Everquest
Everquest II #2
Dungeons and Dragons Online
Lord of the Rings Online #1
Pandora Saga: Weapons of Balance
TERA Online (recommended by user)
DC Universe (recommended by user)
So, look at these games, and if anyone has played them, then tell me what you think and debate amongst the other members so I can choose which one is better...
Do NOT say these games here as we have already played them or we don't want to play them.
APB Reloaded
Vindictus
Fallen Earth
Planetside 2
Realm of the Mad God
Gotham City Imposters
Forsaken World
Tribes: Ascend
Dragon Nest
GIVE FULL ANSWERS AS TO WHY YOU DO OR DON'T LIKE SOMETHING!!! I WANT TO KNOW WHY THEY ARE GOOD GAMES!!!
