So some of us here are gamers, that's cool, so the question is: Do you play any free online games? So here I will be starting a little directory to show free games, who here plays them, and where to get them if you want to join in. This directory will be listed by game, with a short description of the game followed by a link.
If there are any free-to-play games you want to share, just drop it in the topic and I'll add it to the list.
APB: Reloaded
Description: If you have a computer that can handle it and you're old enough to play it (M Rating), APB: Reloaded is one of the best free-to-play shooters out there. It's 3rd Person, features INSANE levels of customization, and huge sandbox maps to battle it out on. The drawback is the game is more or less Free-to-Play, Pay-to-Win. Pay weapons are infinitely superior to anything you can get on a normal account, and it has awful matchmaking. The game also runs advertisements for its "Premium" service, which allows even more customization, in-game after missions. I still enjoy it on my normal free account though.

Gunner (Joker Server)
Champions Online
Description: A Super Hero MMO with tons of cutomization, but as a former pay-to-play it has its limits. Free players are basically nerfed in this game, and it pisses me off. Pay users get more costume options, free extra content, and most of all they can pick whatever powers they want, mix and match from any set. They get 8 character slots. Free players? You have to pick from fixed sets of powers, and you only get TWO character slots. This game is an over-glorified free trial. My main account was RUINED when I downgraded to free-to-play. As a result I made a new account in case anyone wants to play.

Dungeon Fighter Online
Description: A level-grinding 2D sidescrolling beat-em-up, DFO has a deep set of moves and equipment to find. Unfortunately, character customization is limited to class for the most part, some classes are locked to gender and getting appearance customization items usually costs real money. The soundtrack is pretty awesome on this one.

Elsword Online
Description: This one is kind of shallow so far, it's basically Dungeon Fighter with 3D graphics but it's more of a platformer brawler than a sidescrolling beat-em-up. I love the art style, which is what got me to check it out. All character customizations are temporary and cost money to my knowledge, which is why I don't play this one much.

League of Legends
Description: League of Legends. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. Seriously, folks, the community in this game is downright MEAN, and it's for one reason: The worse of a player you are, the longer a match will take. And even then, people are still mean in this game. If you've ever played Defense of the Ancients (DotA) then you know how this game plays. For those who don't, you pick a Champion, a hero character, to control on the field. You level up in a match as opposed to over time, and get 5 abilities to use to take down the other team's turrets, minions, and Champions until you wear down their defenses and make it to their Nexus to destroy for the victory. That's the best way I can summarize it. Minions spawn at regular intervals and you should assist them in making it down their lanes. This game is not for everyone, it's very unusual, but it is free you you'll be able to tell if you don't like it.

Team Fortress 2
Description: Formerly a very cheap First Person Shooter, Team Fortress 2 is free for everyone to play now. If you somehow haven't heard of it, it's a class-based First Person Shooter. That's all you really need to know.
