Isn't team fortress 2 like 4 or 5 years old? I hardly say that it was developed as a free to play title. Most games developed as "free-to-play" are bait and switch unless they are open source.

Well, what about Dwarf Fortress?

Re: A few GUI gripes
 

Dwarf Fortress is a much better example (It's still alpha, who is to say it will stay free to play, although I think it will). Battle for Wesnoth would be good too.

But for every game like that, you have dozens of "free" MMORPGs, DOTA clones etc that claim to be free, but then present you with things like item malls or paying to play certain classes etc in order to compete or gain an edge.

I host a free MMORPG. Shadowdale MUD
And a free shard of Ultima Online altho that doesnt really count since its most likely a reverse engineer so its not like the company made it free
