I need a free MMO... or at least a free persistent game.

So yeah, title says it all. I'm super bored and want to try a free MMO or at least a persistent game. I thought about DOFUS for an RPG, and Gunz as an alternative. I know Dofus is pretty active, but don't really know about Gunz. Anyway yeah, recommend a persistent game which is free and has got an active community until All Points Bulletin comes out because I can't wait for that game and it seems like it's never coming out.

Command & Conquer Classic

No Farmville, although if they include an option to burn your neighbours farm i'll gladly accept the invitation mhhhh ^_^

Play more single player games. You'll thank me later.

Savage 2, League of legends, Runes of magic, Allods online 
All pretty good games.

i recently downloaded the Allods Online open beta, and im enjoying it. Its a huge WOW clone, which made it easy to get into.

Runescape imho
I don't play it myself but I hear it's the one if you're looking for a good FTP MMO, my brother used to play it when he had the time says it was fun.

i play a browser based game called Earth Eternal. its very WOW like

" Nobody in the WORLD knows of this game.It's a secret gem.Hidden.It is called Face Of Mankind.Just play it.You'll see. "

Wait for the Torchlight MMO from Cryptic Games, play Battlefield Heroes, or Quake Live.
 
Edit: I meant Runic Games.

SilkRoad Online is free, it's alright, but it's hard as hell to log in to and its extremely grindy.  There's a ton of free MMOs at aeriagames.com.  Personally though, I would say Runescape if you want a free MMO.  You can also play Warhammer Online up to level 10 for as long as you want for free now.

Try DDO, it's free now.

Quake LIVE

Theres also League of Legends for a dota styled game

I heard Runes of Magic is good... I tried to download it but it took way too long, and I downloaded Aion (which requires more space) pretty fast.

 League of Legends
Battlefield Heroes
A.V.A. 
Combat Arms
 
In that order.

"shin megami tensei: imagine AKA Megaten  i downloaded it, i started to play it less and less, then i just uninstalled it cuz i never played after the first few days (but im not blaming the mmo, my motivation to play a game that long goes really quickly, but thats my problem) "

I'd say Wurm Online, but thats a niche MMO.

Its been awhile since i touched it but i always recommend Dungeon fighter online. Its free and a decent waste of time, as an mmo kinda meh but a decent distraction till swtor(for me anyway)

does Kingdom of Loathing count? 
 
that game took a ton of my time in high school.  very funny game.

check out mmohub.org, or mmohut.com, find the free mmo that is right for you. Personally i'm into grand fantasia right now
