Personal favorites:
NOTE: The Ur-Quan Masters is the fan-made open-source version of Star Control II, which is the official and not-free version of the game.
Enjoyed pretty well:
There are a lot of other games out there I've played, but some I haven't got the chance to experience fully.
Also, I think you missed this guy's post. HoN is the "pretty, updated graphics" version of DotA in nearly all respects, and it costs $30 up front, while LoL is the "free" take on the same concept, with almost entirely new original stuff. In terms of MOBAs, you could think of Counterstrike and Unreal Tournament as FPS MOBAs, as they really aren't truly MMOs in the sense MapleStory is.
