Need help choosing a game to pay for!

Okay so basically, lately I've been looking for a good game, and all the good ones happen to be P2P.. So I've got a few games in mind which are

Darkfall 

Mortal Online

Dark Age of Camelot

LOTRO

AND

Elder scrolls online when it comes out but for now its out of my list..

Please mention anything else that I'm forgetting..

I like this type of games, no sci-fi or FPS or anything else.. I'm all about MMORPGS

So what I'm actually looking for is a game with good community, it doesn't have to be HUGE but big enough for the game to be playable and worth paying for with good PvP preferably... So please I need advices and suggestions and anything that you guys can come up with...

 

Thanks in advance for any replies!

    Final Fantasy XIV?

    LOTRO's sub is optional, tho. I guess that means I can suggest Age of Conan :p

    Final fantasy, I've looked into it not my cup of tea.. Hows the PvP in it tho?

    LOTRO is optional but you don't really get to fully experience it f2p..

    I totally forgot about age of conan, is that game still alive? or is it slowly dying?

    Definately play daoc. First cap Thidrankey valley, then Molvik then got to cathal for a while until you are bored. Find a guild that does rvr every night the roll with the zerg until you are rr13, unsub and uninstall then ESO is out and you are ready to enjoy a new adventure.

    LOTRO would be my choice in your shoes; ESO when it becomes available.

    A great list of free games (mostly MMORPGs): http://www.mytop10games.com/

    Never played LOTRO, so I can't say there - but I'll definitely second that ESO suggestion.

    My SWTOR referral link for those wanting to give the game a try. (Newbies get a welcome package while returning players get a few account upgrades to help with their preferred status.)

    DAoC Seems kinda cartoonish id say, when I really looked into it not really my thing...

    My last three options id say are LOTRO, Mortal online, and Darkfall...

    I just need something to keep me busy for the next 4 months until ESO Comes out.. But I need something worth paying for with legit gameplay and decent player base.. What a struggle to decide what to go for :(

    Not many good games left out in the market

    Lord of the Rings is your best bet out of that collection. The others (with the exception of DAoC) I wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole.

    Could you explain why? Because Mortal online looked pretty promising.. I'll play the trial check it out, but I'll try Lord of the Rings as well.. 

    Dayz standalone got my attention but its in alpha so I have no idea... There really is nothing good out there..

    From everything I've heard Mortal Online has an extremely toxic community that wins from not beating you, but by making you to not want to play. There was a thread on these forums as well that indicated duping and exploiting was rampant as well without any input from the GMs or Devs.

    Well thats disappoiting,  anyways it looked like a good game but I guess I'll pass on that and try to find something with a better community.

    Age of Conan

    If community is important then you aren't likely to find a better one than in LOTRO, especially on one of the RP servers.


    You don't need to spend a dime to see if it's your cup of tea; it's free to download and play, and it will be level 30 before you need to think about acquiring more content. Meantime, you can do deeds for turbine points and spend those on things like riding skill, mount, bags and other useful things.


    Barring going completely F2P, it's often recommended that new players sub for one month at a cost of $15 to unlock swift travel, bags, coin locks, an extra toon slot and other really useful things. Plus you'll earn 500 TP to spend on a mount, riding skill, etc. Your account will upgrade to premium and everything will stay unlocked after you stop the sub. Hard to beat that deal.

    Most all Western f2p games have a sub option of some kind, so if you're ok with that then why the emphasis on non-f2p?   Sure AoC is slowly dieing, but so is just about every other mmo.

    Just downloaded Mortal Online, gonna give it a shot since theres a trial giving a shot wont hurt, same goes with LOTRO Ill give it a shot as well, 80% done so far, but looking deeper into these games I'm losing hopes that ill actually find a game to occupy me for the next 4 months till ESO Is out... I guess my only option would be dayz standalone.. Unless theres some uderrated game I havent heard of yet..

  • ThumbtackJThumbtackJ Member UncommonPosts: 669
    No sci-fi? Well then I will suggest Rift, Guild Wars 2, and The Secret World (GW2 and TSW being B2P, Rift being a hybrid of F2P and P2P).

    from everything i've heard about MO, the game is still plagued by CTD bugs, as for community, haven't heard anything good, at least using the free trial you will at least be able to discover this for yourself. Might want to also try SW;TOR, its also a F2P/P2P hybrid, but you can use the F2P bit as an 'extended' trial, i suspect that after a few days you'll be needing to find another game anyway after trying to get MO to work image

    I like sci-fi but I just dont get into them for that long... I like games that give you that feeling of achievement you know, like you do something for a reason, and the things you do are just meaningful and rewarding you know... To be honest, I don't really care what the game is, I just want to feel like I've achieved something with the time spent playing the game... Not really into games that you grind forever, do quests, grind some more, do some more quests and thats it.. Repetitive bs

    If graphics are not a huge priority Asheron's Call is still going.  It is not a theme park and by that I mean there is no little pointer that tells you where to go and nothing in game to give you a hint at who has quests and what not.  There is still a vast majority of people who UCM.  But if you chose AC, then you can also play AC2 for free.  It still is unfinished but its pretty cool to play if you don't mind the grind.
