    Anyone play this game or know where the thread is for it. I can not find it. Just looking for some opinions on the games quality and fun level. I believe it's still free and hard to find a free mmorpg these days

    I used to play. Since it was the only MMO I have played I thought it was fun, and also because of that same reason my opinion might not be the ideal one in this case. Anyway, I did pay $5 worth of stuff to become premium though, as the with the free version you can play everything but will be less fun as you progress.

    I stopped playing after realizing it would take me quiet a while of doing the same challenges (I believe you call them Raids) to buy better gear. I don't like too much repetitiveness in games. But overall I had a blast playing while it lasted.

    It's a pretty fun game and the graphics are very good.

    Plus, Sony keeps pushing out content for the game, and the support I encounterd was excellent.

    I also used to play DCUO I spent a little more than WaR I bought the Green Lantern DLC to become a Premium, but just like him I found the reptitiveness to be a killer. I played the same missions over and over again to level up, only to go back to a kiosk to "rinse and repeat". Fun game for a while, but it's difficult to get past repeating the same missions a million times. If this is "Raiding" I don't like it at all. Content in the form of new power sets are released. I like the game a lot, just wish it wasn't so ridiculously repetitive. Also, the Free version is pretty limited.

    when you mean same mission over and over you mean literally same mission?

    At max level (30) you basically just try to get your t3 pvp gear, which does require you to do the same instances over and over again to earn enough "marks" to buy your gear. I still have it installed, but stopped since I realized grinding began D:
