Hi I want to connect two PC over WAN without VPN. It is mainly based for simple unimportant file sharing and gaming. So security is not an issue. Are there any free servers that allow to connect in such a manner ( For ex Like creating a room and PC share data) ?

Hamachi was the cheapest way to do this before being bought by LogMeIn. Now, you can set up both PC to same VPN provider, and once you connect VPN clients, these PCs will be on the same network (as well as widely open to the net).

You would be better served if you setup a VPN server on one of the routers, and connect the other PC to that router.

Edit: Actually, you could check "private VPN service" providers - they claim to create a closed virtual network between clients, not exposed to the outside world.

Security of the data may not be an issue but security to your computers should be seen as an issue.

For very basic file transfer ability use team viewer or other remote desktop solution.
If you need something more advanced then that then you need a VPN connection.
