What's the best free MMORPG

Runes of Magic - http://www.runesofmagic.com/us/index.html

I just started playing and it's simply amazing. It's still in Beta but it offers:

1. Duel Classing system like FFXI, but every class can mix, there is no BAD class mix. Such as Priest/Rogue can work and be used for PvP and PvE. Every class mix has specific bonuses, which makes choosing tough :P.

3. Comprehensive Development Team (a bad ass team) that listens to their Player base. There will be updates every 3 months or so, with new Areas, new Quests, new Gear, new Dungeons etc. It's goes to as much development as WoW.

4. Graphics are similar to WoW but are a little more detailed in my opinion.

5. Can learn all Crafts and Excel.

6. Guild, Personal and Friend Houses, expandable.

7. Huge Quest database over 600 quests that are Storyline driven. Quests aren't just "Kill this, now Kill that". You have search quests and quests that are actually fun.

8. The Grind is nothing like Maplestory or any of the other Free MMOs. It's a friendly grind.

9. Gear, even at low level you see gear that has Set Bonuses from Questing. Dungeon gear is amazing and goes from Blue and can be upgraded to Epic.

10. Dungeons, there are 2 type of Dungeons. First type are Set Dungeons (alas I have to do another compare to WoW) such as WoW. Second type are Dungeons that are always different every time you enter, there are no set rules for the Second type.

11. The Item Mall is fair and isn't rediculous like most free MMOs.

There is more stuff, but you should play it. There will be 2 New Classes and a New Race released soon as well, so don't be discouraged by only 1 Race.
