Not sure if this goes here or not?

Ive played a little bit of mmorpgs back int he day, that stars wars one to be exact, which felt more like walking sim more than anything. Im considering picking up old school runescape but im not sure if its good choice or not? What mmorpg that is free would you like to suggest to me a beginner?

    I found Final Fantasy XIV easy to get into. The full game requires a monthly payment but there is a “free trial”, which contains the entire base game and the first expansion for free and can last you at least a few hundred hours.

    I tried old school runescape a while ago again but did not enjoy it. It’s a very grindy game, and unless you like clicking on a tree for 30 minutes then you aren’t going to like it either.

      It’s also worth noting that FFXIV is practically single-player if you want it to be. Any group content can be played with random match-ups using the party finder. It’s got a great story, too

      Was about to suggest the same! I feel in love with it 4 years ago and subscribed after beating the base game. Turns out that I had a JP service account, so I had to do the whole base story again on a new NA account (since they don’t allow cross region payments).

      I played through it when they released this version, and honestly its an insane amount of free content. I completed the base game but never did complete the 100 quest wall that was in the first expansion. I had a lot of fun, and I agree this is the perfect MMO to pick up. I probably had about 3 months of time spent in it and was not disappointed.
