So coming from console gaming, i never really played any MMORPG games. So I am convinced that, that is the first thing i should try on pc gaming. ive already played WoW a little and i guess its kind of fun but idk if i really like that kind of games yet. So would anyone be able to recommend me some Free-To-Play MMORPG's that i can try out (and maybe even FPS's aswell?)? Thanks guys, i really appreciate it.

Blacklight Retribution is one of the best free to play shooters. Runs well, good graphics, good balancing, not much 'pay to win', many modes, high population, and they've done a pretty good job of tearing out the annoyances that plague lower quality shooters.

Warframe is also good. Squad based, action based cooperative missions.

Tribes Ascend is pretty good if you're looking for a change of pace. It's draw is that it's faster paced and everyone has jetpacks. So there's aerial dodging and stuff.


However, none of those are really "mmos". They're squad based stuff like you'd get on a console.

Planetside 2 is a real mmo shooter. Open world, dynamic battles between hundreds of players for control of a planet. It's supposed to get a console release at some point as well though.

As for mmos that are not shooters, Guild Wars 2 is one of the best. But it's not totally free; you buy the game for like $40 and then you can play it with no subscription.

There's also Path of Exile. Not a real mmo since it's all instanced, but still a good free to play RPG.

I'm definitely going to check all those out + the one mentioned below. Thanks guys! But is there any totally free MMO's that are exclusive to PC that you guys recommend? I think I'm covered with FPS games for now, but im also looking for games where you have to start from nothing, level up, build up your inventory, explore, etc. and is still all online? Something along the same lines of WoW or Skyrim, and i know that there's many more out there similar to them but as far as i know as a console gamer, those are the only ones i can think of.

DayZ Standalone might be one (its not free though) if H1Z1 manages to come out in the near future thats definately one...its free-to-play as well
 


Totally free mmos exclusive to the PC, entirely online...
Hmm. Hard to say. Most will have micro-transactions of some sort, since almost no developer is going to make a game without any way to make money (barring certain indie devs and fan projects). The best you'd get is a game where the only paid items are purely cosmetic, or where paying just speeds things up a bit.

Dungeons and Dragons: Neverwinter is a relatively new free to play MMORPG. It seems to fit what you're looking for. I played it for a bit. I don't remember for sure what they charge money for. I think almost all of it is free, including all the main parts. But as mentioned, it's going to be really hard to find a good 100% free game, since there's no incentive to make one most of the time.
