This is a good game but once you reach 60~80 it takes weeks even month to level depending on what kind of a grinder you are.

I played this game for 3 days now. As GothikX says, that it gets old really fast, I’m beginning to feel the truth of his comment. Levelling up here takes a LONG TIME. Take for instance, a quest where you have to shoot down 60 monsters. If your are weapons are pathetic, then shooting down these suckers will take FOREVER. And worse, you have to accumulate some cash to get more fancy stuff to customize your gear. That means more grinding time, and more monsters to kill.

But hey, I still like pimping up my i-gear.

I played Air Rivals for well over a year back when it was Space Cowboy Online. The gameplay is basically the same. Pvp between roughly equal (or up to 5-10 levels different, in most cases) is a great experience, but certain levels are insane power thresholds (78, 86 for B-Gears) that also happen to require incredible grind time to attain. There is also zero entertainment to be found in grinding: all mobs follow the same simple patterns and merely upgrade their damage and health as levels increase. Nor are there many choices to be made on your character/gear – your main choice comes when you create the character, and it plays basically the same once you acquire the gear’s skills.

I wish that someone would make a non-MMO version of Air Rivals. Now THAT would be a game.

Dungeon Runners provided for a couple hours of mindless fun, but grew tiresome much too quickly. Other than that, I’ve been firing up InstantAction a lot lately, which is kinda surprising, with me being more of an RPG man myself.
I’ve also tried a few strategy browser games (like OGame) but most, if not all, were not worth it.
And of course, I still fire up Anarchy Online every now and again – still ‘playing’ the free version after some three years; ‘playing’ is in quotes because I don’t really play much anymore, I just log in to have a chat with old friends and see what’s new and the likes.
I’ve been meaning to try Exteel but after Dungeon Runners I couldn’t bring myself to. Maybe sometime later. And of course Starfox-y sounds good, but I bet Air Rivals will grow old just as fast. I’ll still try it tho, of course. Just as soon as I get internet at home again.

Combat Arms is decent, less hard-core Counterstrike which I appreciate. War Rock is more of a Battlefield knockoff, with the usual issues (vehicles > infantry).

Last free game I played (other than Dwarf Fortress) was Dead Frontier. Browser-based zombie MMO essentially, with a graphical top-down shooter as the actual gameplay mechanism. Avoid the real-money ‘Shop’ unless you want to donate since it’s rather overpriced, there’s a huge market on the forums and once you start venturing out 8 or so blocks from the start you’ll find a lot to trade.

I’ve been playing Combat Arms lately. It’s an open beta online FPS where you can rank up and buy weapons and stuff. Lots of fun.

I tried this game after reading Kireon’s review, but after playing it for a while I realized it’s just another MMO. The conversations people are having are just the same as in any other MMO. Item x > item y bla bla bla

The grind is a waste of your life, it really is. It’s so retarded, I find it impossible to justify playing through it to myself
