Though free-to-play MMORPGs had a rough start, they've slowly found their footing. Now, some of the best MMOs in the genre can be played for free and enjoyed for dozens of hours without a single dollar down.
These games aren't small, niche experiences, either - some are absolutely massive, packing the same punch as the big, premium games without any of the cost.
New raids, class updates, festivals and more are on the calendar.

I only subbed at launch for 1-2 months bc I was already caught up in WoW at the time. I love the LotR universe though and would like to see how it's being handled these days.
Earlier this month, Everquest 2 announced a new loot box system that bypassed lockouts and provided the chance to buy more opportunities at raid gear through the cash shop.
Before the Shadow is the latest expansion to the still-thriving MMORPG, Lord of the Rings Online, introducing new regions and mechanics.
