[MMO Games v2 by DarkNecrid]This will be divided into 3 parts, each part getting added over time. The three parts are F2P (Free to Play), B2P-F2P (Buy to Play, Free to Play), and P2P (Pay to Play).
Before this gets started, I must define MMO since a lot of people don't know what makes an MMO and what doesn't. An MMO (Massively Multiplayer Online Game) can be anything from people being in a persistant world (see: World of Warcraft), to being a non-RPG with channels / areas that people log into and then join player hosted games (see: Gunbound) to browser based MMOs (see: Nexus War).
If a game has more than one translation I will post the US one, unless there is different names and both are popular. (see: Granado Espada in Singapore, Sword of the New World in the US)
I am omitting all Closed Beta MMOs. Open Beta ones are fine however.

RUMBLE Fighterhttp://www.ogplanet.com/rf/This game just made a full release a couple of days ago, so yeah, it's very new. The official website describes it as a "casual action game." It plays somewhat like Power Stone (3d arena fighting game), except matches can be played up to 8 players. Team battle is also available along with free-for-all. There are currently four classes to choose from, and a fair amount of avatar items to customize your character's appearance with. Anyway, without further ado, here are some screenshots:

EverQuest IIhttp://everquest2.station.sony.com/A full 3D MMO that continues the legacy set forth by its legendary predecessor. EQ2 has gone through tons of revisions/updates since it first began, and I've honestly never seen a game go through so many changes (and still end up better because of them). Lots of race/class combinations, tons of content (more than I can explain here) and refreshing gameplay (especially if you're getting tired of WoW's simplicity like I was). They even let you download a 7-day free trial before you even buy/start paying monthly for the game. So try it out if you've got a decent computer :P

Final Fantasy XIhttp://www.playonline.com/ff11us/index.shtmlA pretty cool game that gets a lot of undeserved flak, it has really gotten much more interesting over the years, espically since the last expansion with the introduction of Blue mage(best job ever!), chocobo raising and racing, besieged(Al Zahbi has been attacked by evil beastmen, are you a bad enough due to stop them) and soon pankration, where you make copies of monsters, customize them and then have them battle other player's monsters(Gotta catch 'em!!).

Tabula Rasahttp://www.rgtr.com/index.htmlIn a nutshell, the earth has been invaded by an ancient race and those who managed to escape are attempting to form an alliance among the alien races of the galaxy. You take on the role of a receptive, a human who is capable of interfacing with ancient technology and using it to gain "magical" abilities. The majority of the weapons in the game are firearms, so the combat has the feel of a 3rd-person shooter; the action-oriented fights do a good job of distracting you from the grind.
High Points & Low Points (Click to reveal)High Points:
Capture Points: Several towns within each zone are able to be captured by enemy NPC forces. Throughout the day mobs will assault the town, attempting to destroy the forcefield protecting the entrance, and finally capturing the control point located within the base, shutting down all the shops and removing all the friendly NPCs, replacing them with enemy mobs. PCs are encouraged to defend and recapture towns from the enemy.
Staying the in the action: Tabula Rasa has no penalty for death aside from Resurrection Sickness. The emphasis is on getting back into combat and helping NPCs and PCs complete quests and assault enemy positions. Every instance (so far at least) has some form of friendly presence within it; whether it's a small village, or a strike team waiting for your assistance. This allows you to purchase supplies (most notably ammunition) and respawn within the instance when things go sour. Zones have several waypoints scattered around the map that once unlocked, allow you to travel between them.
Moderately instanced: Each zone has anywhere from 3-9 instances of itself; by default players placed into the first instance of the zones and are also dumped back into the first one when they leave instance-dungeons. When you access a waypoint you can choose to switch over to another instance of the zone, this helps quite a bit with lag sometimes, or if everybody is trying to do the same quest as you in a particular area.
Low Points
No Economy: Aside from a trade channel, there's no real way to get access to things other than what you get in the field. This can be a little frustrating when you have an abundance of equipment your particular class cannot use.

Granado Espada :
http://ge.iahgames.com/en/Simply put the most amazing MMORPG I've ever played. You control 3 people at once, although you can set 1-3 of them to AI (yes thats right, you can not play at all for farming / XP) and gain NPC's as allies which have classes you can't create, do PvP, crafting, and is in a time period not touched on by MMOs ever. Like 17th century Europe.

Guild Warswww.guildwars.comTechnically, this is a CORPG, but Guild Wars relies on short times to get maxed out equipment, minimal grind, and furious PvP. Anything that takes grind is optional! Features 6 classes in the original, Factions adds 2 new ones, and Nightfall adds 2 new ones. Each chapter is stand alone and does not require the previous Chapter. The first expansion for Guild Wars, called Guild Wars: Eye of the North shall arrive this year.
