Free Memberships?

[ogreman]

This will be a debate on whether free memberships are worth playing in MMORPGs when the games also have premium accounts. If you want to debate this issue, state which side you are for and then make your case.

Actually, free memberships in runescape are brilliant.

A free membership on most games just another word for a trial without a time limit. Your not going to get much out of it, and therefore it's not worth playing.

However there are exceptions, for example look at runescape. It's free membership is very good. You can do a lot, make friends, train skills and such. Of course such games are worth playing, providing you can have fun any game is worth playing.

Free memberships are usually not worth playing because the pay membership has all the goodies:P.

For Runescape, and I HAVE played Runescape before, for quite a long time on a FREE account, but trust me, it's boring. You have to pay to get all the good stuff. Free Runescape is just 10 quests, and a LOT of grinding, and if you want to make friends, you're better off playing another game, or better yet, going out.

I don't know about other games however

Yeh thats the same as Superstar racing you can buy the good stuff only if you get a vip membership and you have to pay for that.And to get the good parts for the cars you need a vip membership and to go past the novice level you need a vip membership!!! 1 month = £4.95 1 year=£30

As a matter of fact there are 17 free runescape quests

Well it all depends on how they set up the game. Am I extremely limited on where I can go? Is there no limit? I understand they hold content back for the free gamers but sometimes it's just too much.

Can anyone explain what exactly grinding is?
