Just looking for some recommendations for free MMORPGs, I'm terribly bored, and this laptop can barely run Starcraft 2, so I want a game to play that will eat up time and be decently fun.

That's not an MMO it's a DOTA clone.

Maplestory is meh. Takes a loong time to level. But at the same time, you actually get to fight and there's plenty of fun things you can do.

I've heard that cabal is pretty good. I haven't played it myself.

Pardus is a good MMO. Its a space game, the graphics suck, but there a large alliances and its fun trading. The combat system is just pressing buttons, but there is always fighting (right now there is a war going on). Think of it as a primitive version of Eve, but everyone is nice instead of cutthroat
Once is an accident. Twice is coincidence. Three times is an enemy action. Bus Driver can never target themselves I'm sorry

If you just want something that will eat up your time. http://www.reddit.com/ That works wonders

Can you give us a few details on what suits you best? PvP, PvE, slow/fast pacing, quests/grind, does it need a story, solo/group play, theme, 3rd/1st person, "looks like" game X...

Let's say I have a "search tool" (aka my friend) to help with that

Maplestory was fun for a bit, but the grinding just gets monotonous. I'm looking for something along the lines of WoW, just.... not as grindy? ;p

Haha, if you can get a group of friends to rofl around with, Maplestory is definitely very fun

A while ago, a bunch of us played Aika Online, which was alright... meh

I've played cabal, but in open beta. It wasn't exactly bad, comboing and fighting was pretty cool, but content-wise it sucked, you couldn't do much after a few weeks playing, and the quests were just ridiculously simple in structure (grind grind grind, go kill 10 of those). The highlight of the game was when you had to clear certain dungeon challenges in a set amount of time, with intense music and shit.

Yes, LOTR online is free, and pretty good for a free MMO. Pretty involving and not simply grindquests, cool bosses and stuff.

Personally I've looked around for a good MMO to waste time with, but I haven't found any to my liking. Guild Wars 2 is promising and I'll probably wait for that release.

The only reason I am suggesting it is because I am addicted, but RuneScape (http://www.Runescape.com)

Aika tries to copy wow in many ways, it's an OK game, the walking can get boring and combat a bit repetitive.

LOTR is having a second wind with the f2p thing, there are interesting mechanics in it, and you should find people to enjoy the game with. I would say go for it, might grab you.

If you are willing to pay a one time fee for the cd-key tho, steam has a crap ton of games, be it single or multiplayer.

Then you're not looking for an MMO as WoW is the least grindy MMO anyone could possibly suggest. I mean, Lord of The Rings probably feels the least grindy, but in reality it takes longer to level. Aion is a total grindfest. Runescape is a grind fest. Cabal, and the rest of the free Korean MMORPGS are all 100% grind, with no other content.

Take it from someone thats played pretty much every MMO ever. If you've got that "I wanna play an MMO but I want to have fun" play Diablo 2. I'm not the biggest Diablo fan, but it satisfies that urge to make and level a character, without devoting your life to it.

First, have you ever played Wow? because after that at least all free mmos are shitty, no exceptions.
If not, then you might wanna try out Runes of Magic or Allods Online.
