I would have to go with RIFT for a multitude of reasons. First of all the free to play model is decent, perhaps not the absolute best,but certainly not pay to win by any stretch of the imagination. It has a steady stream of new content by developers that seem genuinely excited about their game. The character customization has a ton to tinker with, making theorycrafting a ton of fun. They have several options for leveling via quests, dungeons, open world events, and instant adventures. The dungeons are actually challenging enough to require team play. Factions are not a barrier to partying or joining guilds, or stupid and common as this one is, speech. Overall it is a fun game with a lot to offer and a reasonable monetization.

Multiplayer in this game is about as dead as Skyforge's multiplayer
