Free-to-play?

ff11 is still active

they changed the game a lot, such as removing the locks on content, and adding the trust system. you can go from 1-99 easy solo now cuz of the amount of systems on place.


also i played a large number of fp games and they rarely get updated. the week maint is mostly to shut the servers down, do repair work. Most western mmo do it once a week.

Same can be said for Everquest 1 and other games from the period. They changed a lot to the game to make it new player friendly, but even with those changes there was no wave of new players beating the doors down to the servers looking to play them. Also I've played a good number of FTP games and they're always being updated. It might not always be in the form of major content. Those kinda updates come maybe every couple of months. The regular updates are more or less mini events and things to keep players busy and active while waiting for major updates.
