So, Everquest II is not as good as Everquest I, and it’s free to play, but not really. DDO is sort of free to play, but not as every class, and not unless you are fine only being able to do one quest.
In walks Dungeon Fighter Online. It is a side-scrolling, action rpg. It is free to play. The only things that you pay for are the right to set up an item shop, a fancy appearance, and some crap nobody wants. The item shop ability is obsolete now that there is an auction house, and the fancy clothing you can just buy off other players with the in game currency you get from monsters and quests.
So if you like Golden Axe, or Guardian Heroes, or things that are good, and you also like levelling your characters and pumping skills, then you will like this game.
There are fiveish main classes; Slayers, Mages, Priests, Gunners, Female Gunners, and Fighters. There are four subclasses for each main class, except Priest, who only has three. The subclasses are all really different from each other.
This is not the kind of standard lame F2P where it takes forever to level and you only have one skill. Each subclass has about twenty skills, some passive, some not, which you can level in order to determine your build. You can level multiple times per day until roughly level 35.
There’s PVP, it is totally optional.
The only catch is that you have 156 fatigue points per day, and each dungeon room you enter consumes 1 fatigue point. You can’t just play all day every day on the same character. At low levels it will take three hours to burn up all your fatigue, at higher levels it probably takes about five.
Go fuck yourself, Everquest.
