POTBS (Score 1)

Pirates of the Burning Sea: F2P, and not P2W, with clear options to play the game in whatever style amuses you on the day. The most surprising element of PotBS is that reaching the level cap (2-4 weeks gameplay) allowing you to captain the largest ships, serves to allow full participation in Port Battles; battles lasting up to an hour with 24v24 players deciding which nation will govern a port. I didn't believe when I started playing and someone told me that '... the game really begins at 50.' however out of all the MMOs I have played, from EQ1 through GW2 and about 20 in between, PotBS remains the most engaging and rewarding once you reach the level cap. Furthermore a player driven economy where ships must be built by players ensures that there is a constant demand for economic players (if your ship sinks a few times it is lost and you will need to buy/build a new one).
