Other good free RPGs?
« on: October 18, 2005, 12:14:37 am »
Anyone have any recomendations for other good, freeware RPG games?  Single player or multiplayer.

You know there was a pretty cool game in development a while back that I used to check out quite often.  I forgot the name though....something Wars....It begin with an R.  But it was a fantasy First Person Shooter.

Edit: Realm Wars! That was it.

K, I got into the single player and I\'m loading a multi player game now.  It seems cute.  Very unreal fortress though, not exactly an RPG.:-D


Edit:  I can\'t get into the multiplayer games..... it just keeps downloading and downloading and downloading maps and objects from the server.

I started playing with Rose Online recently. It\'s also an open Beta.
It\'s a visually beautiful game (very flashy, bright colors).

It\'s got pretty bad text in some places though (I think it\'s developed in Korea), and the UI is a bit goofy.

The online community is pretty lacking too (no GMs, lots of twits with foul language, little roleplay). Not like we have in PlaneShift!

Might be worth a look if you want a change. But PlaneShift will be your game of choice, I\'m sure!

I was messing around with Knights Online... it has pretty good graphics and gameplay... not much for RP but It was fun especially if you can get a friend to play too.

Hmm that knightonline game looks pretty cool so far ... *checks it out*

As for other free RPG games, I do know a few but I wouldn\'t quite call them good. Most of them are lacking in the roleplaying and degraded to pure hack and slash. Nothing like PS ;)

Zanzibar you do have to download alot of files for the servers, they have alot of custom content on them leave it for an hour or more and it should all be downloaded. I run a small forum for the game (http://realm-wars.fragism.com/gl-bin/forum/) feel free to ask questions about the game on it.

Well you could always try A.D.O.M. (Ancient Domains Of Mystery).  It is a very fun rpg though if you are into graphics it may not be up your alley (it being a game with ASCII graphics similiar to rogue).  Do not let this turn you away from it as it is one of the best rpgs  I have seen :)

If anyone does play it though just remember that starving is easy and natural to do but is not something that is particularly helpfull to your character.

http://www.gth.com.my

A very good action game, fairly decent community if you can get past a few outbursts of 9 year olds here and there...Very nice graphics, and a surprising lag-free, smooth gameplay style (aside from the few seconds loading an area with a lot of people in one spot) also, they have fun arenas where you can fight people around your level, nothing is one-sided...Armor is limited, and skills are kind of dull though

Two free open RPG\'s I\'ve been watching for quite some time now:

Arkhart - http://arkhart.nekeme.net/en
Adonthell - http://adonthell.linuxgames.com

Both are still heavily under development, but look VERY promissing ...the first 3d with quite original graphics and the latter a nice 2d (the tech-demo \"Waste\'s Edge\" is more of an adventure though)

I\'m quite sure I know some more free open RPG\'s, but can\'t recall them at the moment :]

I\'ve tried Mana World ...it looks pretty promissing, but seems to be (atm) a Secret of Mana - Ragnarok Online crossover.
the Mana World - http://themanaworld.org/

And S.C.O.U.R.G.E. (Heros of Lesser Renown) is an interesting 3d RPG where you\'re put into the role of a group of \"mercenaries\" that have fallen so low they have to do lower quests (like getting a wizard\'s wand from the sewers, because he flushed it) ...although the quests are funny, it\'s very serious Nethack/Rogue-like play.

Scourge - http://scourge.sourceforge.net/

Oh, and while we\'re at it ...of, course, the classics: Nethack, Moria, Rogue with all it\'s possible graphical engines (I\'d suggest you try either falcon\'s eye or vulture\'s eye) ...I\'m not posting a link, because these are such classics, you don\'t deserve playing them if you\'re too lazy to search for them :]

Oh, and  these two zelda-like RPG\'s look nice as well (haven\'t played them yet though):

Stendhal - http://arianne.sourceforge.net/?arianne_url=games/game_stendhal

Lgc - http://lgc.tuxfamily.org/


Then there\'s some 3d space shooter/RPG\'s (you know like Wing Commander):

Privateer Gemini Gold - http://priv.solsector.net/
Privateer Remake - http://wcuniverse.sourceforge.net/
Vegastrike - http://vegastrike.sourceforge.net/
Oolite - http://oolite.aegidian.org/
glElite - http://glelite.sourceforge.net/
Possible Worlds - http://possibleworlds.sourceforge.net/ (not much RP-ing, but still fun :])
