These days MMORPG's are getting very popular.
Games like World of Warcraft, Guild Wars etc... are played and discussed heavily.
I was looking for info about Guild Wars, but suddenly I found some FREE MMORPG's.
Months ago I played ago Anarchy Online, but it became boring very fast (IMHO). Now I tried Kings Online and I'm hooked Smile
I've also tried ROSE Online, but cannot give a good opinion because I played it just for 30 minutes.
So, what FREE MMORPG are you playing or do you think is the best?

You have to buy it, so no Smile
Internet play is free, but the games I mean are downloaded AND played for free.

this one is taken from the FAQ on the guild wars site

Quote:
Will there be a subscription fee for Guild Wars? Are there any other fees, such as for patches or updates?

There will not be a subscription fee of any kind, anywhere in the world and there are no hidden fees. You will not have to pay for the streaming updates that will take place on a regular basis, nor for additional content that we will provide between the chapters of Guild Wars.



you HAVE to BUY the game BUT the online play is FREE

so its kinda free lol Very Happy

as for the games well im pretty happy with guild wars Smile


Clevesa they made the 1st game free last year you could have registered on the site and play the game for free for 1 whole year im not sure how it goes now but i can still play the game for 9 more mounths free Smile

I used to play all the free (as in free beer kinda free) mmo's I could find, and I must say I personally liked KO. Mu is extremely popular (reminds of d2 alot). Haven't tried ROSE.

Doesn't matter anyway, I have GW Wink

Well of course, they're free. Wink

But it's just about picking the one which sucks the least. Smile

A good game I like while not strictly an RPG is Shattered Galaxy. It's a MMORTS which does have a lot of RPG elements. Free to play for as long as you want though you can also pay for it to get more features such.

Lineage 2 is graphics wise probably the best. It isn't actually free but getting onto private servers is relatively easy and nowadays at least c1 servers are very stable and have lots of players. Many sites offer direct download for the client too.

I concur. Lotsa servers have C2/3 stuff added too. L2 on private servers will give you and your friends hours of fun (if you find one with the right rates that is). I got bored of it after a while tho Sad Peace,

Ultima online I forget the name of the cracked server but it's supposed to be great too. It goes back to the build before it was ruined by it's current owners. You can download the client online too.

Anarchy online isnt really free they are just doing a year free promotion to try to get more users(will resume charging after the year is up, and you have to still pay for the expansions)... so it really doesnt count...

Rose is beta idd, those others, I don't know Very Happy
I just wanted to know what kind of free (at the moment) mmorpg's are played the most.

Guild Wars is not in the list because you have to buy the game.
Btw, I tried Guild Wars but I don't call it a mmorpg. Why not? When you leave the cities doing some quests you're on your own (or only with your party/guild members)! That's not what I call a mmorpg. It's more like an online 'single player game' where you can invite some people to join you.
The gfx, sound and setting are nice, even the gameplay, but I want to meet other people when doing some quests. But hey, everyone got his own opinion Smile

Anarchy Online, it was great in the beginning, but I had some lag issues (players bouncing) and it became a bit boring after a while.

Knight Online is my fav, it's kept very simple (menu structure) and I didn't have lag issues. The gfx are ok, gameplay is fine.

AO Classic is completely free and Funcom claims it will remain free. You still need to pay for the expansion packs, and if you use them you need to pay a monthly fee. In the past Funcom said they might only keep the free version of the game going for a year, but it looks as if they've revised that.

Project Entropia has always been free... sort of. If you actually want to do something in the game besides run around in orange, you're going to have to drop some money into it. And the game is a ridiculous money hole. But technically, that's optional. I had fun for about a week just running around with nothing, looking for bugs. I scored some awesome screenshots of me on top of structures that were supposed to be impossible to get on. Heh. The game is specifically designed so that only people who pay will have any real fun, but I don't consider paying real money for virtual ammo to be fun, personally. It makes me sad that people are willing to do that.

Guild Wars is not an RPG any more than Diablo is. They are adventure games. There's quite a big difference.

Ok I've tried Kal, Rose, Mu, and Knights. And the only one that is crap is Mu, the resolution sucks and reading text is difficult. Not going to bother with project entropia thats just money sink. I think rune is old so should suck like Mu. Dont know what rubies of eventide is.

I should point out that rose, kal, and knights are pretty good. But then at least 2 of them are eventually going pay.
