definitely not /thread. He was looking for some GOOD free MMOs, not just a list of many with a vague description.
Personally, i really would recommend Mabinogi, Soul of the Ultimate Nation, Sword of the New World, or guildwars if you were okay with buying the disk(one time purchase, no subscription fee ever.)
Mabinogi is an MMO that mixes Dungeon delving with mechanics of something like harvest moon, leading to a one of a kind experience. The combat is also really pretty good, as you control every strike, every dodge, every block, and every counterattack when in the thick of things, making combat actually challenging.
Soul of the Ultimate Nation has very quick and impressive-looking combat. Not groundbreaking, but very solid system of doing things.
Sword of the New World has a very different setting from most MMOs, choosing to take place in a sort of fantastic otherworldly colonization of a continent from across the sea. You take control of an adventuring family, and get to use 3 characters from your family at any one time. This game also throws armies of enemies at you at any one time, so you really might fight over 100 foes in just one room.
Lastly, Guildwars is great because of the story, the ability to recruit special characters for your party, instanced maps, and the guild system of course. but I'd be ignoring the elephant in the room if I didn't mention it's PvP system. It is without a doubt the best PvP I've played in an MMO, and I've played a lot.
