With the explosion of good F2P games now a days, how is one to find the time to enjoy them all?

Just as an example this is what I am currently playing: and its not costing me a cent.

1. Terra online
2. Rift
3. Star Trek online
4. The Secret World
5. SWTOR
6. Guild Wars 2
7. Warframe
8. MechWarrior Online
9. Aion

Now thats just the MMO shit, I also have in the works a crap tonne of other great single-player games that I still have to finish.

How the hell does one go about balancing all these great games?

<I know, I know it really sucks to have so many great games to play, what a terrible world we live in>

Wouldn't you have needed to pay either $25 or $50 to get a GW2 account going in the first place?

I guess that's true. I think I paid like 30 bucks but it has no monthly fee is really what I mean.

All these icons on my desktop, they tease me with the possibilities...

There we go, then. It did cost you a bit. Still, one-time payment definitely hurts a lot less than a monthly subscription.

If you haven't already, consider forking over $5 (also a one-time payment) to upgrade your Swtor account to Preferred status. You get... 2 extra action bars plus a bunch of other useful stuff that feels like a proper game and not a passive aggressive "free trial" model. On the other hand after the very big 3.0 update swtor has been lagging pretty bad on some planets (fudck you Belsavis) so you might want to hold off on that, at least until Bioware get their act together.

But lag issues aside the big 3.0 update has been very helpful, I'll give them that.

Sadly I purchsed the game as soon (yes it was terrible in the beginning no agruements form me exball) as it came out and was subscribe for almost a year. So when they went f2p they gave me like a billion store credits to buy all the upgrades.

I just wish some would make a game with the story of SWTOR, the combat of TERA and the progression path of TSW all in one. Even though I find each individual game fun to play.

I just need more hours in a day I guess.

I'll add two more to the list of good free games.

Planetside 2 is great when it's actually working, and it working and being broken seems to be a regular 3 month cycle. But when it is the fights are great and at least as far as infantry, the starter weapons often tend to be some of the best. That said if you're new, go with Medic, medics rack up so much XP from revives. Emrald is the most populated server for the USA.

There's also FUMBBL which is a freeware Blood Bowl website. Not as graphically fancy as the retail version by Cyanide, and not as many players (usually 1/2 as many online at at any time), but a great alternative, especiall since BloodBowl II is coming soon so the future of the servers (and thus your teams) for the current Cyanide version is in doubt. Plus you can run it on any device that can run the Java runtimes and a screensize of 1024x768 since it's all 2d.
 
Sorry for the necro, but this is the best the search function brought up for the MMOs I play.
I'll be moving to the US for three months where I'll have access to a computer that can run The Secret World. I miss that game. My laptop, mysteriously, runs TERA well, but, it's okay. It's free on Steam now, so I'm giving it a try. It's got a tinge of creepiness, but beyond that, seems not very different from Asian-inspired-Western fantasy RPGs.

Anyone actively play these games, or just want to kill time for the summer?
