Before I start, I want to point out that yes, I am well aware there is a thread for free games already. The problem I run into with the games on the thread is that almost all of them have micro transactions, which I loath. I searched through many pages and found games that at first glance looked very nice. Then I look further into the game and they all had micro transactions. I think I searched through about 90% of them. Of course micro transactions were not the only reason some games were not of my taste, but most of them were. I had other reasons for some. Because I can not find such a game in the section and what I am looking for is different enough to exclude all the games from said thread, I personally felt that this warrants the thread. There is a lot that my criteria differ from just a (I want to play free games) type of thread.
I am looking for a free to play mmo (no fps please). I do not want to play one with micro transactions. They make me want to trap a bunch of steves on a server in a bedrock hole where they can not leave in any way and laugh manically at them from the the top while they cry just to sate my anger unhappy. I have my reasons. I have been searching for about a week now. What is eating my time is a game will advertise itself as free and then hides the fact it has micro transactions or a pay to play part of the game that is difficult to find on the website, which is otherwise thrown at your face if you actually spend a few hours registering an account, downloading the game, figuring out why you have a error message loading it and finishing the tutorial. My criteria is as follows:
Free to play
No micro transactions (donation items I consider as micro transactions as well) (I do not care if items from purchasing can be acquired in game, still a micro transaction)
Can be played relatively easily (to give an idea, Goat simulator is unplayable for me).
Must be available for PC
No fps (first person shooters)
Must be an mmo (or at the least multiplayer)
No Kongergate exclusive games (Weird rule? Yes! But I have my reasons)
I do not want to have to start from scratch each time I play a "match" or other similar deal. I want to be able to level up, get bigger, stronger ect as I play the game (If I can find a better way to put this into words I would gladly do so)
Please make sure the game does not have malware or adware of any kind.
No MUDs
Do not post games that break any of the above criteria, no exceptions.
I prefer newer communities over older ones, but you are free to suggest well established games
This is not a thread for you to say "no such game exists!". An example would be Haven and Hearth. I played it for a few days but ultimately felt it was not polished enough as of yet to continue. As such any comments of the sort will be warned and considered as spam and dealt with accordingly. Yes I do realize that games fitting what I am looking for is difficult to find. That is why I made this to ask the community for help.
This is also not a discussion for if a game can or can not be supported via without selling game play elements. This will also be considered spam. I do not want to talk about that in this thread.
If I say "no thank you" or "I tried that game but it just wasn't for me" or something along those lines, please do not suggest it a second time. If this somehow becomes a topic with many pages I will give some leeway to this rule, but at least read the last few pages (I strongly doubt this will reach that level).
With those out of the way, I do not want to seem hostile to anything other than just a response with a game attached. I put those in there because I often do make threads (not just for Minecraft) looking for things like servers for instance and those are the type of responses I often get that both clogs up the pages and causes arguments with those who post. I even had a thread which had to be locked on another forum because it created such an intense flame war it had to be. I do not blame the mod for it and in his or her boots I would have done the same. I do not want that to happen.
Anyone know of any games? Or perhaps you know a way to aid me in my search. Maybe you just want to talk about games like these and how you feel about them? I for one feel that micro transactions are setting a bad course for not just pc gaming, but gaming in general as more and more console games are utilizing them.
Most free to play games these days have micro-transactions. Why can't you just play those games and not buy the micro-transactions?
Archeage is a good free MMO and League of Legends is a free MOBA, but they both have optional micro-transactions. You don't have to buy them, brah.

Have fun, bud.
Pick one. The two do not coexist for a MMO that requires server upkeep plus content patching/tweaking.
