The ONLY Free to Play MMORPGs I Recommend Playing in 2022

Free to Play MMORPGs are some of the worst quality titles you'll find within the genre. Surpassed only by Mobile MMORPGs.
And there's a reason for that. Money-hungry developers or publishers that ruin the game with extensive pay to win, a severe lack of updates that result in an inability to retain players long-term, poor handling overall.
Realistically, there are a significant number of reasons as to why free MMOs are bad, but we're not here to discuss those. Rather, we're here to discuss the free titles that have withstood the test of time - that truly excel in a variety of areas.
Games that I find myself coming back to.. maybe not as frequently as Final Fantasy XIV, but every year. What I want to do is showcase what best represents the free to play MMO genre at present.

Where if you were to show someone that wasn't interested in MMOs any of these games - it would carry the potential to persuade them otherwise.

MMORPGs included in this list:
Blade & Soul: https://www.mmobyte.tv/blade-and-soul/
Guild Wars 2: https://www.mmobyte.tv/guild-wars-2/
MapleStory: https://www.mmobyte.tv/maplestory/
Star Wars The Old Republic: https://www.mmobyte.tv/star-wars-the-...
TERA: https://www.mmobyte.tv/tera/

If you think about it, with the exception of Blade & Soul, there has been no good free MMO release in roughly a decade.
Just thinking about that... blows my mind. How poor a state must the market be in that we have had one single worthwhile free MMO release in a decade?
Now, granted, there are other good free MMOs out there. Good in certain areas. Excelling at one, maybe 2 different aspects. But none that I would say fulfill the majority of the requirements I have to garner a listing here.
RuneScape, Vindictus, Mabinogi, SoulWorker, FlyFF. I've had fun in so many, but these 5 MMOs right here are what I believe to be the very best the free MMO genre has to offer. And that's good! The fact that we have a handful of games is more than we can say about the mobile market.
