The BEST Looking “FREE to Play” 3D MMORPG List
Aye Candy! The Visually Appealing FREE MMORPG List
After having numerous friends ask my opinions on what I thought some of the best “free to play” MMORPGs out there were, I decided to make a list of games I would personally recommend.
I looked at the two main factors that weigh heavily on my decisions when choosing an MMORPG. The game must be very playable, but at the same time it should have nice graphics also!
Now I know what some of you may be thinking. “There is more to games than just graphics!” and that’s very true. There are a lot of great games out there that don’t live up to today’s modern standards of graphics. I play these games all the time on emulators to relive games I loved from my childhood.
The reason I am creating a selective list is because we are focusing on MMORPGs here. Two main factors that lend themselves to playability are a decent population of players, and a game where not every character is at the level cap already. This means that generally to meet these conditions we need to set our sights on newer titles.
I figure that while we are doing this we might as well pick out some eye candy in the process. There are a lot of “Free MMORPG Lists” out there so I am not trying to recreate another one of those.
What I am doing instead, is compiling a list of games that have visually stunning graphics and gameplay. I feel that my tastes are very much in tune with other gamers I have talked to, and as such these are the recommendations I am making.
Take a look through the list below for some of the BEST free to play MMORPGs available. All the games listed here will be sorted by date with the most recent releases near the top of the list to help players select a game that will allow them to get in near the ground floor with other lower level players. (All release dates are approximate due to the nature of JP, EU, and US release dates.)
I will be constantly updating the list to keep it relevant and useful for players. If you have a suggestion for a game that is not on the list already, and you believe it has a nice visual esthetic feel free to email me or leave a comment on the Blog.

Very good selection!
Onrpg’s TWO lists are better.
I’m going to continue to update this list and create two others that will help users find the type of games they are looking for quickly. I understand some sites may have a list with a wider selection of games but I am going to structure mine in such a way that they are more organized than most sites. I feel two main questions users have are what quality graphics does a game have, and when did the game come out. (Because they don’t want to be a lowbie in a world of end-gamers). Thanks for checking it out though!
I have more games then this downloaded on my computer.
Hey, great list, keep it updated, im loving it.
Thanks man, I’m glad you like it. I will be doing more updates in the next few days.
Very good list, excellent work
Good job.
Wow … I certainly didn’t know there are so many free MMORPG out there. The only MMO game I play is World of Warcraft.
Big Update - 05/31/2008 - Added 25 NEW Games and an Anime / Kid Friendly selection of games at the bottom of the list. Thanks for checking it out! Any feedback on the list is appreciated! ^_^
That’s a massive list.
I really can’t believe how many MMORPG’s there are now. They’ve come a long way from Ultima Online and Everquest, worth of which I used to play (sadly haha)…
You have the best mmorpg list sites i have seen..hope you keep it up by including some more infos describing charateristic or features of each one. Great work my friend.
Thanks man! We will continue to update the list as we come across new games, and I will try to set aside some time to get the global ratings for each game up there.
I appreciate the great feedback.
umm a couple of those games arent free anymore but the list is still good
What mmorpg has the best graphics? :d i really need to know lol.. i played most of them already : silkroad cabal shaiya martialheroes perfectworld fiesta maplestory pristontale rakion 2moons rappelz ageofarmour worldofkunfu lastchaos 2moons(aka dekaron)
and more that arent in this list.. like wow privateserver and even runescape lol and etc :).. i could play every mmorpg on my geforce 7300GT 512mb on the highest graphics!.. there must be a better one with highergraphics lol
greetings
(on those games listed my character name is always dangermind
)
