I don't recommend it, even for free. Lots of grinding with heavy P2W elements. There are much better options for free MMOs, like Guild Wars 2 or Final Fantasy XIV.

Mhm wait a moment, Final Fantasy 14 is not free, its subscription based.

Technically correct, but what they call a "free trial" is effectively a sizable free tier of the game. The entire base game as well as the first two expansion can be played for free with no time restrictions.

If you don’t mind all the restrictions on communication and the like. Then again it’s basically a single player game masquerading as an MMO anyway so

Idk about a lot of grinding unless you plan to do endgame stuff in less then 100 hours. The combat is pretty fun to at least me and theres litteraly a million things to do. I loved setting up my worker empire and seeing my estimated storage vaule go up and up. I picked it back up last week after 3 years for the new console version. Is it very everyone? No. But that's the case with anything.

10 Jun, huh? Guess we missed it.

[-] thingsiplay@beehaw.org 4 points 3 days ago

Just a clarification in case someone sees this comment after the time expired: The game is free to keep if you get it before 10th July. It's just a typo in this postings title.

[-] QuadratureSurfer@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

That, or free for a whole year!!

[-] SanctimoniousApe@lemmings.world 2 points 3 days ago

There wasn't a year specified, so why stop there?

[-] doxxx@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 days ago

It’s a typical Korean MMO: pretty graphics but nonsensical story/dialogue with a hectic grind.

Its again one of those times when I lost 100% on Steam. I already own the game, so cannot make savings by getting it free, therefore I lost the money that I would have saved. If this keeps happening I am broke very soon.

But you're so far ahead of everyone just getting started now. It's just another variation of pay to win, and you chose to skip ahead.
