Star Trek Online made it onto a list of Best Ever anything? What is this nonsense?
However this game is Star Trek in name only... you see more original ships and designs and gameplay is more about pew pew pew than exploration.
Holy fuck you just made my year
Best free games ever? Why that's simple, all the ID games up to an including Quake.
See Quake released the game as shareware on a CD waayyyyy back in the day. They made the unfortunate decision to put their entire library on the disc in encrypted form. You would call up the ID hotline, pay for a game and they would give you a decryption key.
Well obviously someone came up with a program, called Qcrack.exe, which did all that for you.
You also got a somewhat uninteresting Trent Reznor soundtrack in CD Audio form.
Ever? Not likely. Maybe most recent.
Most of those games are not "free". Game impacting micro transactions count. WOW shouldn't even be on there. Games like DOTA2 that have micro transactions that do not affect game play (only visuals) are OK.
If we are talking about a list of best free games EVER, then:
#1 Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfenstein:_Enemy_Territory
Easily wins hands down. It was absolutely crazy that game was free,
Reasons:
1) Totally Free. As in nothing.
2) Was active for a very long time (probably still some diehards playing it)
3) Huge community. Mods. Servers. Etc...
4) First FPS to implement "classes"
5) First FPS to implement XP and leveling
6) First FPS to implement objective goals
7) First FPS with 64 player multiplayer
8) First FPS to implement anti-cheating software (punkbuster)
9) First FPS to introduce funny German accents (MEDIC!)
10) It was just fun to play for hours and hours and hours...

How is a game released in 2003 long after TFC the first FPS to implement classes?
