A nice (and completely free) MMORPG I currently play is Silkroad Online.

http://www.silkroadonline.net

Generic korean mmorpg with some unique elements, but incredibly fun.

PS people who play at the moment are me, Demarthl, Tmed, stfrn, Hart, Grono... and probably more I can\'t think of right now. :P

Hmm ill check it out.. im bored.. like most other people in this world :)

anyone that knows of some great mmorpgs that are free of course feel free to share... I would like to have more options then I currently do.

Edit: Yeah Silk road looks pretty good... reminds me of Knights Online alot considering the interface and whatnot.. just with enhanced graphics which do look nice.  

/me looks around for a catch to this

I would have loved that game, but there was one essential problem...As soon as I logged in, I crashed, and a window popped up that said nothing but ? marks. [Guessing that it can\'t read japanese warnings]

So, another good MMO down the drain for me...

Try downloading it from cnet.  It\'s a fun game, though it\'s an arcade game and not an RPG in the slightest.

SRO involves strategy and player interaction... but not if you\'re looking for Master of Orion-like strategy or, I dunno... Neopets player interaction (I seriously don\'t know any games that have some \'special amount\' of player interaction, at least not beyond any other game anyway).

have anyone here seen secondlife?
http://secondlife.com/

it is very odd in that it is, at its base, a purely capitalistic mmorg.. complete with land ownership, buying and selling products and exchange rates to \"real\" currencies.

but with that said, it is quite amazing .. i personally did not really find it fun to play mind you.. but amazing in that is really one heck of a  socio-economic experiment.  everything is apparently built and owned by the users (they have rights to what they build anyway).. which ends up, go figure, resulting in lots of casinos.. but also clothes that people sell, and i saw a weird rollercoaster.. anyhow, the feeling i got from it is that it is like one crazy vegas

Apparently, according to some economists, people *can* make more money in this game then they can doing \"real\" jobs.

ref
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/1271788.cms

anyhow, i would say it is simply worth checking out for the spectacle.

your going to not try a great game simply because the site development team optimised their site for the worst net browser in history?

shame that, all you have to do is bare with the site to sign up, no more then 3 minutes, then just click the download link, thats another 30 seconds, and never have to go back again.

and besides, site works fine through firefox

Ehh.. Actually, it doesn\'t work in firefox.. At least, not the firefox I have, or the firefox view in netscape...  And it\'s not that it\'s optimised for IE, it\'s that they won\'t even let people TRY to view it in a decent browser. Don\'t tempt me though, I\'ve been downloading like crazy since I got my new internet :\\

oh hey, still playing silkroad, most of its bugs are fixed, though logging in can be a pain, it often lags out and disconnects you and attack speed flies outthe window, buuuut when its not throwing a tantrum its still a really good game.

good luck catching up though, stfrn is having trouble with that xP

Well firefox displays this part quite well but there is no way to advance beyone this.  Besides, if a page was coded IE specific, thereby ignoring WWW Consortium standards then it sounds like a waste of my time anyways.

Ok so its a pure hack n slash but its great fun.
Its in its open beta stage and its free.

GFX & SFX are good and very little lag.

Ive already made a small band/group.  We chat using TeamSpeak as timing is important  to organise an attack on a large creature and for wars.

I\'ve spent hours researching free Massive Multiplayer On-Line Role Playing Games (MMORPGs) that are fairly new and have good or better graphics:

-Conquer Online:  Free to Play (F2P) but you can buy Dragonballs to \'up\' your equipment.  At higher levels you pretty well need to do this so it\'s a sneaky way to get your money.  Good game all around, 2d graphics with 3d effects with a large following,

-SilkRoad:  F2P but similiar to Kal Online,

-Kal Online:  F2p but you can purchase items to aid you in various ways, e.g. to not fail in raising stats of an item; increase experience gain for a short time; etc.,

-Rubies of Eventide:  F2P.  Same principles as PlaneShift.  An EverQuest like game free to a smaller, select community.  If you are young and immature then don\'t come here (perfect for roll playing adults).  I believe it\'s a smaller player world but over a thousand possibilities in character creation!  Donations are accepted but not forced,

-Guild Wars:  F2P.  Initially you pay for the game then it is free to play anytime.  Some of the best graphics and sound in an online game but there is a cap of level 20, and

-PlaneShift:  F2P.  I\'m looking forward to playing this game after reading all material I could find on it.  I especially like the idea of combining glyphs to make magic spells.  Registration server is down so I haven\'t had a chance to play this yet, but the graphics look good+.

Check the following link to all these games and more:

http://www.mmorpg.com

Select \"Game List\" tab and sort by the headers.

All views are my own, I\'m not working with any of the above listed.

Found one I like

http://www.prairiegames.com/index.php?option=com_frontpage&Itemid=1

They have a free demo that plays on a special Demo server.  Graphics are not cutting edge, but close to PS in quality.  Only tried it for a few hours, but it is good, really too good for a recovering EQ adic.  

The unique part is that you can have from one to 6 characters online at once.  Graphically they are shown as one character.  This is a love hate thing for me.  I enjoyed making my own 4 man party of adventures, but having all four of them permately stacked on top of each other is a big minus for me, and makes the game feel like the garage game that it is.  Also my computer is a bit on the slow side for controlling all four of the characters in battle.  The interface is easy enough but any lag in casting heals means a dead party member.

You don\'t NEED to buy DBs with real money, you can do so with ingame money, or from monster drops, or with vps. I made my 2 soc super +2 bow out of hunting money (that means 5 DBs for 2nd socket, 4 for unique -> elite, and 6 for elite -> super) You only need to hunt, or mine and get lucky.
Anyway, Conquer Online 2 is the only other MMORPG I play. Graphics are really cool, saddly it\'s overrun by little kids who call everyone \"noob\" or \"fag\" and annoying br (brazilians) who speak no english at all (or at least they act like they don\'t) and looks like their goal in life is to annoy other players.  Luckily there are also nice people, so it\'s bearable, if you find them.

Undate on Minions of Mirth,

They are doing some server side changes and the free server is down.  They have a premium version of the game for 30 bucks, but I am still trying out the game\'s free version.  I also had to download a new copy of the game.  The one I had was titled \"demo version\", now the new free version of the game is titled \"free version\"

For now the game has no monthly fee. However they could pull a knights online gimic and start charging as soon as they get a player base.

Post by: shorty13 on March 07, 2006, 02:32:26 am
By far the best one (and done a little differently than most MMORPG\'s...in fact many don\'t classify it as one...)

Guild Wars!!  http://www.guildwars.com

Yes it is a great game full to the brim of strategy fun, fighting and spell slinging.  I love it.  Can\'t get away from it.  I am sorry.

Only down side is there are a lot, and I mean a lot of immature players...but there are still many nice ones.

*sighs*  I miss playing Dark Age of Camelot.  I just hate the fact that Mythic mucked up the balance, and started concentrating on flashy new stuff. Whatever the last expansion was....the one with the unicorn mounts...that\'s what did me in, and I left the game without looking back.

I\'m gonna give rubies of eventide a look...apparently it\'s free...looks a little dated, but i\'ve seen worse I think.  Besides, they have an RP server ^^  Can\'t stand people who use generic words, 1337 or nonsensical names for their characters. :P

Played Minions of Mirth for a few days, but couldn\'t really get into it.  I like being able to custumize my character\'s model a little more than that.  The game just felt incomplete to me.  The music wasn\'t bad though hehe.

I may go look at WoW like all the other bedazzled masses if I can get a good job heh.  ALthough I hear their servers are notorious.

About Rubies of Eventide

Such a great game and community deserves some attention. It has a fully implemented reputation system[political?] which, for examlpe, could even make you able to talk to your opponents[if the reputation of their  fraction is good to you.]

It has D&D combat controls, good for roleplaying, 100 classes, 7 races[orc, ogre, elf, human, gnome,dwarf,leshy[magical being from another realm they say]] and it\'s f2p!

It has 3 servers:
Halberd[PvP]
Fireopals[Roleplay. pure roleplay]
Pheonix[Normal server]

The webpage to Rubies of Eventide can be accessed HERE (http://www.eventide.net/home.html)

It has a lovely community and now i\'m not just saying that cause i love the game. The game sure has a great community![Though, if you want curses and havoc, join the Halberd servers, though not as a fresh newb. Try the Pheonix server first].

Happy playing and \"Chose Wisely\"!

I\'ve played it and, no thank you. I\'d like to stick to the worlds where you wont see too many people steal your best grinding/questing places. It just gets filled real quick in WoW and you lose the feeling of being in another world and not a game:(

Rubies of Eventide is still a small world but it isn\'t overpopulated. You can help the developers by becoming gentry\'s. A one time fee and unlimited server acces for an entire year. If you want to keep playing without not being able to log into the server you pay 50 bucks every year[or was it half year...]

The game is, as we speak, going through a restructuring process, and after that a patch for better gamplaying will be released. The comig patch after that will unock new features, awesome equipment and skills.

Actually, I created on Fire Opal.  Sorry, but I pretty much play on RP servers exclusively. Although it probably doesn\'t matter with Eventide heh. Still trying to get used to the control, since it seems the mouselook button toggle doesn\'t work on the keyboard, and I don\'t like having to hold down my middle mouse button hehe. *messes with the keyboard layout some more*

Here are my recommandations (they\'re all empire-building games played on your bowser with little graphics):

http://games.swirve.com/utopia/
It\'s the most complex browser-based game I\'ve ever played. It has roleplaying but their forum code sucks.

http://www.nationstates.net
You build a nation and improve it with issues which come up twice per day. It has a very old (at least 5 years) and very active RP-ing community, but if you\'re not into RP-ing you\'re going to get bored because the issues repeat themselves after a while (they are 196 issues in total).

http://www.nationstates2.net/
It\'s not finished yet; you can read about it in here: http://forums.jolt.co.uk/forumdisplay.php?f=1228
This is supposed to be the greatest nation-building game but some people think this will never get done.

http://www.cybernations.net/default.asp
This was made by a completely independent guy named Kevin Marks. This 3 months old game is much more simplistic than Utopia but has a great RP-ing community and many options like war and trade that NS doesn\'t have. Many players from Nation States have moved to this game criticising the evil mods from NS which ruined the whole RP-ing thing which was NS\'s strongest point.

Personally, I prefer CyberNations just because of its great RP-ing community and relatively good gameplay, but you all have different preferences than me.

Edit: If anyone wants to know more about CyberNations just ask me cause I know a lot about it.

I'd like to mention SecondLife again (somebody mentioned it in this thread a ways back)... the client (for windows, mac AND linux) has been open-sourced and the world is growing hugely...  it is free to play.  You can do anything there and there is SO MUCH to explore.  You pay only if you want to own land or run a business or purchase currency.  With it's own economy, combat system, 3D building tool, etc.. I see it as a perfect role-players paradise.  Everybody that enjoys planeshift should check out secondlife.com.  Come to think of it, with a bit of effort and money, planeshift in it's entirety could be replicated in secondlife!

Well, I didn't mean someone should actually go and copy the graphics and maps of planeshift... I just meant that it would be possible because the users have the power to create anything in secondlife.

Also, if anybody reading this does try it out, and would like to give me referal credit, use the following link when you create your account...

Lets see... The first MMO I'd  ever played was T4C

www.t4c.eacceleration.com

Chaos server is the free one, but half the population is french. (last time I was on, which was in 2004)

The graphics are Mediocre. They are really artsy and un-realistic. The music is great and the story is alright. The gameplay mechanics are simple, yet annoying because of their simpleness. Its made by Eaccleeration and I highly reccomend deleting the Eacceleration toolbar stuff once you get it because its really buggy. :sorcerer:

I've had Shadowbane recomended to me before... I think it was Setill?  I don't remember.  Wolfenstein Enemy Territory is just a third person shooter.  I've played it a couple times.  I prefer SOF2, even though Wolfenstein Enemy Territory has a flame thrower.

Not sure if it's been mention before, but I've always been amazed at the scope and detail of the sci-fi MMORPGAnarchy Online (http://www.anarchyonline.com/).

It has one of the biggest game worlds I've ever seen, a super in-depth background plot, and millions of different futuristic items, from synthetic chocolate cake (which you can use to beat people to death with... slowly) to hover cars which you can fly around in.

Although it's not as RP-centered as PS, there's still a lot of RPers, and there's bars and clubs in almost every city, as well as an on-going story hosted by the GMs.

There's like, 13 professions, each one with unique abilities (Adventurers can morph into animals, Agents can disguise themselves as other professions, Metaphysicists can summon a horde of weird-ass minions, Engineers can build robots and craft stuff, etc.) And they have randomly-generated, instanced 'missions' where you run around the world following NPCs or recovering items without worrying about kill-stealing...

If I was gonna pay for an MMORPG, it'd be AO.



Oh yeah, and I'm pretty sure the original game is free forever, but if you want to use any of the 4 expansions you're going to have to subscribe.

What really happens when you fire a shotgun against someone head's in point blank?
What really happens, in the same case, but aiming for an arm?

The USAS12 (automatic shotgun) is more devastating.

The game gets boring though.  Sometimes I'll find a server with modified ammo and I'll just run around throwing smoke bombs everywhere.  Capture the Flag is boring as heck because everyone just camps and snipes.  The best weapon in the game though is the Ak-74 (74, not 47).  The initial shot is more acurate than the M4, and it seems to do more damage in general.  I'm an uzi fan as well because you have a more liquid spray of fire compared to the shotgun.  Throwing knives are always awesome, especially since they don't make much sound.

My favourite strategy though is to pull the pin off a grenade and just run at someone, or to throw a grenade ahead of me while someone is chasing me.

I'm not big into MMORPGs, but regarding RPGs in general these are the best ones in my opinion:

Fallout 2 - SPECIAL System (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPECIAL_System) rocks as there are no fixed PC classes and such(It's not a wonder that it's slightly based on GURPS, that would originally be the base of the whole Fallout series (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GURPS#GURPS_in_other_media), but for some reason the deal fell through). Also the history and plot are great.

Planescape Torment - One of the most non-linear and roleplay intensive CRPGs ever made. Definitively worthy.

Also there are great games that are more or less RPGs:

System Shock 2 - Great sci-fi/horror cyberpunk First Person Action game with RPG elements and a well-developed dreary plotline and history. Meet the insane would-be goddess AI SHODAN (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHODAN)(If you didn't play this game yet, avoid reading what is below the "Spoiler Warning" in the article) and the hideous creatures of The Many !

Deus Ex 1- On the same genre of System Shock 2, but without the creepyness, has several NPC dialogues, a partially non-linear way of solving things and some plot twists as well(Although most of those are predictable as the conspiracy stuff its history was based upon is very well known on the Net). Still a great game that had many memorable(and not so memorable - Hint: "Excessively bad and cliché accents") moments.
Title: MMORPG's
Post by: Annah on February 07, 2007, 11:06:36 am
Planescape Torment is and will always be my no. 1. Best RPG ever made. Anyway, great games you've mentioned there, but I have to add a few more, like Septerra Core, Vampire the Masquerade, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (I and II), Deus Ex II (yeah, I liked it) and Neverwinter Knights: Hordes of the Underdark (this addon is the closest to Planescape Torment's world, and also has the most complex storyline).

Post by: Idoru on February 07, 2007, 12:15:07 pm
Fallout 2 and Deus Ex 1 are two of the best games ever made IMO. I was kind of annoyed they went a bit off the mark with Deus Ex 2. Trying to get in on the console market I guess.

WoW is the only other MMO I play, and guess what, you can find some nice, friendly and mature people who play it......

.....you just have to look really really hard for them.  ;)

I was playing Planescape right before I found Planeshift.

I got to the point where I was trying to meet that Ravel chick, when I got bored and started PS. I thought it was a refreshing twist the way your character was constantly injuring and killing himself... if not a little sick at times...

Quote from: wikipedia
Easton speaks with an accent which sounds very noticeably Scots to the ears of people from the US, while sounding markedly North American to people from Scotland - something that occasionally sparks mild criticism in her homeland. Her Scots accent is absent from her powerful singing voice.

I knew she sounded American. :P

On the other extreme , Shadowbane , a game I played last year , could be called L33T PWN`3r H34v3N but nontheless i`ve been part of a nation with very strict RP rules ( http://midranell.proboards91.com/index.cgi?board=rules&action=display&thread=1149476989 excuse me in advance if i violated some forum rules by posting this link )

Someday I'm going to make an MMORPG based around GTA-style gameplay. I already have a lot of the concepts sketched-out, including player-generated quests (usually in the form of a hitman/theif contract, where players and player-run shops are actively targeted by other players); two side: cops and 'robbers', each with their own specialisations and skills (cops focussing on weapon-skills, and robbers focussing on crime skills, with the skills being 'carjacking', 'lockpicking', 'Long range rifle', etc.); three city types - civil (no player-targeted crime, rare), gangland (rival gangs can attack each other, but no random attacks) and chaotic (anything goes); Player-run establishments like gun shops, hotels, drug barns, etc.; a prostitution system (no GTA rip-off would be complete without prostitutes :P), which could result in you having a baby or contracting a disease, but has positive effects; No 'monsters' - the enemies are simple citizens going about their business - criminals can mug/kill them, cops can frisk/arrest them, etc.


I haven't decided if it will be contemporary or sci-fi, but either way I'm gonna be a millionaire :P

I think that would be too chaotic. Like Garry's Mod 10 RP servers. Once the gun shop gets robbed, everyone has a gun and there is a HUGE war between the Civil Protection and the "Gangstas" mass chaos, then the server has to be restarted because peace is never returned.

No I have an even better one(Though more complicated), a MMORPSG(Massively Multiplayer Roleplaying and Strategy Game) that includes the previous ones and also:

- A very mature and roleplay oriented community.

- Yearly cyclic age shifts based on RW years and each year every character is wiped for the sake of realism(1st year is Medieval, 2nd is Renassaince, 3rd is Imperial, 4th is Industrial, 5th is Modern, 6th a cataclysm happens and puts the world back in Medieval -- cause futuristic stuff is excessively explored by other games --, and so on). Something like a MMORPG version of Civilization series.

- Each year is also a contest for those interested in Empire Building, "Imperial Wars" will be epic in Medieval Ages, and very large scaled during modern ages, like WW1 and WW2. Also there will be less violent and more discrete ways of conquering lands. Manage an economy while you roleplay your character dealing with diplomacy, etc.

- The winner of the previous year will hold a legacy for the new development age, but still it will be small enough to allow others to overcome it, and according to the type of empire victorious, other things like civil unrest will exist to make the competition fair.

- Governments stability are fully based on the competence of the players who manage them, revolutions(specially on the Imperial and Industrial ages) will cause constant shifts of culture and social values that will erupt into massive civil wars as the fallen governments attempt to counter it.

If such thing existed it would be the game of the century!

I think that would be too chaotic. Like Garry's Mod 10 RP servers. Once the gun shop gets robbed, everyone has a gun and there is a HUGE war between the Civil Protection and the "Gangstas" mass chaos, then the server has to be restarted because peace is never returned.

Not really. See, in 'Civil' and 'Gangland' cities PvP is limited to missions and other pre-arranged fights (like gang wars, bank robberies, professional hits), which means random and chaotic acts of violence are only available in chaotic cities. Newbies spawn in Civil cities, and you can choose which city's hospital to respawn in at character creation - or if you pay a patient record transferral fee - which means you can respawn in a civil city whenever you die, to avoid a cycle of death.

Unless you piss off the wrong people and are constantly having bounties put out for you :P

Well, I just went in-game for the last time here and gave away all my of my many hundreds of thousands of trias to whoever wanted them.  I've taken down my website, guildlisting.com.  So long everybody!  Maybe I'll come by and check out Planeshift again in a year or so to see how it's doing.  If you want to find me, I'll be in Second Life.

For any .hack fan, it's like a 2D simulation of "The World." It's a pretty cheesy game, but some of the people are really nice, and it can be addicting. =P

May I be so bold as to ask why?

Lord of the Rings Online > Minions of Mirth.

I plunked 50 buck-a-zoids on Lotro.  Something I don't normally do.
