Ok now I have played a ton of games by now. They are all fantastic until I reach that point where i gotta grind hour upon hour for 5 xp, now i don't mind this but theres no goal or anything fun in it. I mean flyff for example is an awsome game its just incredibly tedious to level up. I am trying that new Runes of Magic game but the graphics are just awful from what I have seen so far.
Needs(Wants)=
pets
summoning
mini-games
questing
adventure?
anything fun while still being cool
I AM NOT A PAY TO PLAY PERSON- DONT LIST THEM
Comments
I am guessing you enjoy anime style graphics only since you think Runes of Magic looks like poop? If I am wrong please specify with examples.

Graphics of are little concern its just a lot better to play appealing games.
If graphics were of little concern you wouldn't have mentioned Runes of Magic graphics were awful. You still have to describe what you find appealing graphically in MMOs if its something that affects your immersion or fun.
Edit Add: Also what do you mean by summoning since you listed pets already?

sorry, but i'm gonna have to disagree with flyff : / i played it for about a month , alls it is is one boring grindfest that's even more annoying if you can't get someone to buff you.
Wouldnt recommend the game to anyone, that's for sure.
Both of you didnt read what I said, I mentioned flyff already and it is a good game but has nothing to do fun wise. and stop argueing with me over graphics, just list what you think would be good graphics make a game better but it doesnt do shit if the game sucks.
Hum...there isn't a lot of game with Summoners :þ
- Rappelz would fit your requirement.
-Shin Megami Tensei Imagine Online (MegaTen): This game is similar to Mabinogi (gameplay-wise) but it is way better, good graphics, summoning is a huge part of the game.
-NeoSteam, is a nice game.
-HellGate London: Though you must buy the game, the game is F2P (though it's not the best graphics ever but it's a nice game)
I'd recommand SilkRoad but you don't seem to like the grinding so I'll just skip :þ (no summoner)
These are all I can think of right now.
played them all lol... running out of free games
current game i play is Rakion kuz its not repetative in most ways, impossible to get good stuff unless you pay though....
Runescape?
Also, ROM's graphics dont "suck", they're great, it's the art style you dont like.
Currently restarting World of Warcraft
Well if we can't find you any game it's probably about time you change and join a P2P :þ
Before I forget, I just came across another topic that talked about 4Story, the game has a summoner in it and enough quest. Haven't tried it yet but I'm about to.
I was on ROM the first day it came out with a shitty laptop OK? i got a better laptop that can stand the processing and its decent graphics. STOP TELLIN ME WHAT I DO AND DONT LIKE lol...
The thing here is that you've tried pretty much all F2P MMOs that fit your requirements. So what else can we tell someone who wishes for a new game when there isn't? :þ P2P usually fill most of these requirements, as for F2P I think I named them all :þ
But if you want a similar game like Flyff but without the massive grind: Perfect World, Dream Of Mirror Online (DOMO), ASDA Story (not sure about Fiesta though, didn't look too good to me) would be a nice choice. That's all I can think of.
I'd really recommend Florensia in terms of fun factor. I had a hell of a time playing it and messing around with the different features.
I have to admit, I didn't like the ship factor at first as I felt it'd just be a gimmick. And that is DEFINATELY not the case. It's like an entire other character that you can level up, and get different gear/equipment for, and using it to explore the game world is incredibly fun.
The game will take some time to get used to, but I promise you it will deliver the fun factor you want for a free to play game
Oh, not to mention the ingame items/gear you can buy with real money is NOT unbalanced, which is often the case in F2P MMO's (ie. the people who spend the most amount of cash have the best characters).
Well, problem with all F2P games I been playing is that there is a reason they are F2P. They are not anyway near the P2P games.
But however there is a light, Guildwars. Guildwars do cost money to get but not that much and the first setting can you probably find in a salesbin for a few bucks. It have no monthly fees whatsoever, you only pay to get the game and it is really worth the cash. The game is 4 years old by now so it isn't stunning like AoC or Aion but it still looks better than most if not all F2P games (Yeah, I play a little ROM).
It also looks good even on a older computer, the PvP is awesome and the campaign is different from most games. There is really not much of a grind and items is of lesser importance.
This is the only game without monthly fees I can reccomend, you should really try it. If it don't work out I guess you could try AO, it is free as long as you don't want the expansions but it is far older than GW and not as fun in my opinion.
If neither of those games works for you, you should consider to at least try a free trial from a P2P game, you really have nothing to loose then.
I tried Florensia a couple of weeks ago but what I didn't like was the double grind (Land grind/ Sea grind). Is it that hard to level up? Or is there a certain level and then the game gets easier?
OP. The game that fits everything that you have asked for in your post, imo, is Wizard101.
Lots of fun, lots of pets, lots of summoning, a nice all round adventure and it's f2p. Also the combat is card based with lots of spells and summons.
It's a nice breath of fresh air and no harm in trying it out is there?
Well it is to me anyway.
It's only F2P up until around level eight and then you run out of free content.

Ah yes, level 10. Oh well.
Almost had it for you OP!
just to clear some things up the only NEED i really want is something fun in the game, grinding is fine its just annoying if you have nothing else to do. And yes your right I have played almost every FTP game out their so I normally don' t get much of a choice... and I have played Guild Wars it was ok but starting off was so slow. I have retryed RoM last night and i realize the graphics weren' that bad and that with my new pc the game is pretty good. I still need some back up plans for some games though.
