I started playing this game after playing Age of Conan for a month. I wasn't expecting much as I have tryed a few free mmorpgs (make that a lot) but I was pleasantly surprised. This has got to be the best free mmo out there, well at least that I have tried. There is a lot to be said about it but I'm just too lazy right now. If you have any questions about it feel free to ask and I'l try to fill you in. Just wanted to post another thread about how good it is so that others sitting on the fence about whether or not to download and instal it might be more inclined.

For a F2P this is an excellent game, I enjoyed it in Beta as well as now.  I dont think I ever had a F2P game hold my attention as long as this game has.

I have to admit that I did the same thing. Level 1 to 25 is really good but after that the game takes a bad downward spiral.

Not only that but if you voice anything negitive in the fourm at Requiem, the comunity manager will deleted that post on grounds that it is 'potential flame bait' or 'Potential trolling' or some reason to justify their action to censor your input. The negitive posts vanish on a daily basis so most new players don't see them.  I would not give this game a good rating now that I had 3 weeks to play it.

There is no Lore to the game at all. There is nothing to tie the world together but one goal. GRIND

Only reason to join a guild is to grind faster.

The quests given are good at the low level But after 25 you won't find shit to do but grind.

I'm lvl 27 right now and have 14 quests in my log. lvl 25 with no quests? ya right...

http://requiem-wiki.org/wiki/Quests Quests... alot of them are multi part.

is true. most f2p korean games are simply grindfests.... only game that isnt completely grindfest as i can tell is shaiya, but even that is boring. Im a gamehopper i guess. Stillc ant find a game that will capture my attention for more than 2 weeks. i tried almost all of them on this site..above 7 for rating. requiem is just another grind game...big whup, the blood doesnt get me happy either, and im big on gore. this game just kinda sucked imo.

No real plot or storyline to speak of. Its just a cookie cut of all korean games.

Dunno, only way for you to tell is try it yourself...

I love how people claim this after a short play...give it a few weeks, youll see.  A few weeks of beta and tired of it, nothing to do but grind, clumsy pvp controls, unbalaced classes, major gameplay flaws...  wait till you notice the gameplay flaws.  They didnt fix any of this after beta either.  Oh and no global chat for free players...how boring.  but it is gore-porn if your into that.

oh and whay does everyone who starts these "best free mmo ever" threads always have to mention they just came from AoC...no one gives a rats ass

This game is the best free MMO ever. Unfortunately, it turns into a completely different game at lvl 20. Man, was I pissed. I even signed up with premium, because the content pre-20 is so fantastic. Once at 20 you're expected to do the very occasional quest, and grind the same mob in the same place forever. Dungeons are a joke, too. You pull, and immediately die due to about 10 spells being cast on you at once.

I believe it's a bit too early to be deeming it as the best mmo ever. The beginning levels are fun, but as the game closes and you approach the lvl cap the fun begins to decrease as you approach the higher levels, but it is also to early to say anything about end game activities seeing as the game has barely been out of beat for a month. More content will have to if they expect to keep the higher level people.

guys r u kidding me?? best free mmo ever?? yea i hav downloaded Requiem too but when i play it and get to second job i feel little boring and that much of blood and darkness makes my head dizzy...  i am playing Rappelz and i thinks Rappelz is the best F2P MMO ever!!.. and i have a lvl 118 Evoker and Rappelz Epic 5 is come!! now Rappelz is more fun and great!! PLAY it u wont be regretful after playing Rappelz ( the best free mmo ever) Believe me

"Best ever...." is purely subjective.  I'm sure my criteria for the best F2P game is different from yours.  Every game has its own unique features that make it worth playing.  However, everyone gets bored and will look for their next "best ever..." eventually.

Sure there is a lot that can be said in favor of Requiem, the graphics (eye-candy) being at the top of the list.  There is also a lot of negative things to take into account such as the graphics lacking substance (interactive).  But for those of you who value grinding over roleplay, Requiem is as good as it gets.

This is to the poster who said you go into a dungeon and pull a monster and they kill you with 10 spells cast or whatever.  The point of most dungeons is to build a party to go in, otherwise you will die, die, die.  I know, I've tried.  If you're careful sometimes you can survive, but you have to be careful. 

I guess the social aspect of the game is too much for some players.  I often play solo but know when to team and joined a guild for the camaraderie and support.  As far as quests, there are quests above 25, but there are dry spots at certain levels where quests are very limited and so you mostly grind.  I actually am at such a spot now.  I'm a level 40 character.  Thanks goodness I am ~90% towards level 41.  By the way, I believe the requiem wiki has a table of the quests at each level or it may be in the forums, I am not sure.  All the same, just looking at the list tells you where the most grind levels are and they are distributed around above 25.  I do believe a fair criticism is the lack of much content near the level cap.  It reduces players to enlist for events once or twice a week, once you get up there in levels. 

I hope this helps.

I find that requiem is very fun.   In fact I have more fun playing it than I ever had playing any other MMO except for city of heroes when you get a massive party together. 

So far it is far less grindy than any other MMO i have ever played and this includes WOW and EQ2.

So far for me, it is the best free to play MMO out there.
