Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

I dunno if you want him playing a true mmo at that age, but old school RuneScape is currently as popular as ever. Specifically old school though, RS3 has the same sort of problems with micro transactions etc.

Just let them play minecraft instead. Minecraft dungeons could be good but it's only 4 people at the same time tho.
Games my kids enjoy without paying one cent...
All the games they play
We spend zero dollars on video games and yet our kids seem to play a lot of them, my wife and I don't really play. They even had a friend give them an Xbox and there are computers and tablets and phones in our house. Games don't have to be a money pit.
Factorio provided you want a group of kids that you never see again that can all program their own PLC devices
Roblox is full of different kinds of games, right? Why don't you find out the kinds of games he likes there and find recommendations based on that? It's a start at least. I would imagine most of the Roblox games are clones of better games anyway.
He and his entire friends group on roblox got banned from it in a single day. We're trying to not be jerks by providing a better game to replace it with. But from what I saw - he was playing some game where he stands there and pokes at a robot that gets bigger while things around it die. Not very stimulating.
