there are too many mmo's i agree and there are of course succesful companies. but some games are just not nessacary, (e.g Mix master) and I find that half of them are failing (like ghost online and those other games off netgame)

You know what they say, once you buy a top-of-the-line computer and take it home, it's already old.

Games will continue to be churning out en masse with technology improving at such a high pace. 25 Years ago, virtual games were barely anything to even talk about.

Since the first day that Games debutted Online, its like Man was given Wings to Fly.

That and coupled with the growing number of consumers, more people are looking to take advantage of the market and grab audience from all over the place.

U idiot should shut up. I dont want to pay a cent for games especially with torrents gives u any single player game free. Why would i pay for online mmorpg as well. So shut ur hole. With ur stupid ideas.

they make all these games and rly don't put much effort into them change a few names liek a cleric becomes a healer and the game is special, make up a random storyline that you will probably nvr use in the game, boring quests, add some grind now we've made a waste of time :D   

I truly don't see the appeal in mmos anymore but I still play them, flyff is my favorite game but i have no idea y i luff it so much when its pretty much the same as any other korean mmo :x

i like having new free mmos.... it means more choices and more of me finding the right game that suites me

i think its about getting lucky 2 find the right free mmorpg.

A free to play game has to set the bar before the quantity of F2P MMOs begins to diminnish.  Judging from everyones reactions there has yet to be one title that has truely set the bar.  So far all I see is failure, boring, uber grind, and last but not least "free."  Once a F2P MMO truely sets the standard for F2P games at a high level meaning its an immersive title that fun because its fun, that its quality is so high that people forget it's F2P; once that is achomplished lower quality grinders, boring, horrible F2P MMOs will slowly fade away because the Higher Quality titles, most of the time limited in quantity because of higher budgets, are holding onto their players.

 rapplez is F2P but is still hot ...and got hard grinding ....

more F2P ( in my opinion ) more choise ..more your style ... more freedom .... 

the industry will have died like 5 years ago , if was out just wow as MMORPG ....

Don't you get the point ? It's in idea 'free' itself. The new game launches, the game is announced in various websites like mmosite, mmorpg.com, etc. Then players come and try it in closed beta/open beta if they'r interested in blurbs about the new game. They come, an amount of percent likes the game, they keep playing until 'commercial launch' is announced, then they spend some kind of amount of money for that game, and the major part of player leave for the next 'new free mmorpg game' that comes every 3 new days, until they get caught on one more over and over again. That happens with me either.

And companies still earn revenue, if they didn't they would shut down defintiely, they might get failures, but it's totally normal, some games shut down, some open up.

But im amazed of enormous amount of games that are launching currently, while only a few shut down.. It must reach it's "highest point' soon, because there are really way too many games that are free, and in fact, really ridiculous.

axlerose i see your point ... but wow is 14 gb lol so no free game will be so big ... and i played like all the game possible before playing wow always changing game every week if not faster ... dunno why but free mmo lack something

 Well I dont think there are many people out there who have the kind of money to develop and run high quality mmorpg's like WoW, Warhammer, Aion, AoC and such. Only when there is quality will people even consider paying a regular fee just to play your game. In a place like South Korea the gaming industry is just too saturated with small-medium sized developers all already trying very hard to snatch customers from one another by making their games free. It's just too risky to use the Pay-to-play strategy if youre not one of the big players like NCsoft or Blizzard.

With all the games that are out there..Can you really tell us..Which one are the best? Well i can tell you.None of them..There all point,click and repeat..These so called games are only from 500mb to 2 gb..And they are not fun..I have a PC with well over 500 gb on it..How about making games where we can really do something!?..A 10-20gb game would be the norm for this day and age..And the Game makers can add allot more to there games..I like to use my brain instead of click,click point and repeat..and grinding suxs with a .00001 per kill..

orly? which one shines huh? seriously tell me all the games, p2p or f2p are garbage. rohan is cool but lame owners (YNK) flyff was cool when i was 12 but now im 15 and is too childish and also the owners are ****es... granado espada? yeah cool but its boring... dekaron is ubber grind, cabal is ubber skill leveling grind...

too many free games and half of them are dire, the other half so-so. Only a few shine
