Now I know there are more then this, but for the moment this is all I feel is worth listing. If you have any other games you would like to point out just drop a link in post down below.

Thanks.

Added New Game

well, not a bad list. I can't think of any at the moment that are good....

there's runescape, which doesn't require you to download anything, although i can't stand that game.

yeah it is an addictive yet annoying game.and then there is adventure quest (or whatever) but then again annoying game.there are planty of free mmo's but there are few good ones.

is adventurequest multiplayer? i seem to remember it being single player...

yeah it is... its online though

my bad

I also play

FLYFF

Here's a big list of them.

Big List of MMORPGs.
Big List of Fully Free MMORPGs.
Big List of Open Betas for MMORPGs.

How's that?

Thanks, though I've already been there

My personal fav insofar has been RYL.. Fun, however it has no plot..

Only thing I don't like about RYL is it takes about 10 minutes before it looksm like you're watching a slideshow.

www.project-entropia.com

You can put money in for money in-game, but I got rich without putting any money in. Just ask hunters if you can run for them.

Run = Act as bait while they kill the creatures that chase you...

EDIT: It's undergoing some visual overhauls at the moment as well, they are upgrading the engine a little more with every release.

Huh. Looks like a way to earn cash. Ironic. Looks like I have a new job. Nah, I'm just kidding. Now, if this was like Silkroad (all enemies drop fifty gold) then I'd be set, five bucks an enemy. But I doubt they'd make it like that, far too easy. More likely it's almost impossible to find money would be my guess, unless you do as Brood says, and act as bait. Still, if this works, and it's fun, then I might as well earn myself a couple bucks. I figure I'll try it later, and see if it's fun. Then, if I can earn a few bucks at it, it'll be my new hobby.

Friend: "Hey, buddy, where were you today?"
Me: "At work." *sniggers*

Oh, for those who don't get what I'm talking about I'll explain it. The ingame monetary system is based on PED, or Project Entropia Dollars. You can convert your real world money into ingame money. You can also convert your ingame money to real world money. Ten PED is worth one USD. Hopefully, I'll have a new method of income from this, while playing a fun game.

Can someone please fill me in on what the hell RYL really is? Cause if you do a google search you get like 3 different entry's with the same title...

Is it all one game?! Or what!?

Updated

Project Entropia is fun, I played it for a while a couple of years ago but it was faaar too hard to make any progress, it was (too) laggy and had few features. I know much has changed since then, so I might give it a try again, but don't expect earning loads of cash from playing PE

Btw, some people are really crazy and spend tons of money on the game, look at the news, that guy who bought that space-mansion, spending 100,000 USD on some bits and bytes? That's insane... On the other hand I heard he was some rich movie-guy.

Oh yeah one more thing, I actually worked on the Project Entropia both in Dreamhack Summer 2004 (link for those who don't know what Dreamhack is), as you might have noticed it's a swedish game. (Proud to be swede)

Oh, and to stay on topic, onrg.com is a pretty good collection of MMOs, just don't trust much on their reviews or ratings, some are reaaaly out of scope.

I always loved Ultima Online. to find an almost-as-good-as-OSI-but-free server, download UO Age of Shadows or Mondains Legacy. Then go to www.uogateway.com and download that. sort servers by highest votes and choose the one at the top (it will always have the most votes). Forget the name of it, because i quit playing a month or so back. could never really get back into it but still the best MMO (MAYBE second to WoW) around.

great game where dieing is actually a horrible thing to be bestowed on your character. any item can be looted, including that million gold check your carrieing around (happened to me). you can also steal any item from any player, if your in the thieves guild.

word of advice: trust no one and bank your valuable items before heading out of town!!

I don't like it when dying is really bad. It's a less frustrating game when dying doesn't mean anything.

i found another MMO: urban dead

like on most rpg games now... everyone is out for themselves. My brother followed this guy and then he killed him and looted his body....

Updated

is it any good?

i be DLin it but they have a slow server...

3 hours...

Yeah took me like 45 minutes to download it, very slow.

It's an okay game, your standard MMORPG only sort of cuddly, and of course when you reach level 20 you can fly and stuff.

yeah know wot u mean im lvl 63 on it and i have never been a member lol

addictivity!

curse you runescape you place a thousand burdens on me...

boo hoo all that wasted time...
boo hooo

Yes i know.... I was so addicted to it for a while.. I broke my addiction when I was trying to raise certain skills... It gets boring quik

I don't get past lvl 30 for the majority of MMOs I play. I got to level 35 on Knight Online because every few levels there was something new and interesting to try. I played this other Japanese MMO until I could transform into a beast and then I got bored, and I'll probably quit FLYFF after I can fly.

I guess I'm just a goal oriented person, it's mostly the idea that I can expand my game and unlock cool and interesting things that keeps me playing games. The problem with most MMOs though is that after about lvl30 there becomes this huge gap between levels and the new and interesting things to try out become few and far between, so despite the fact that I miss out on cool capes and stuff, I probably wouldn't if there was enough cool stuff between the capes and the other stuff.

Anarchy Online currently has the origional game (as in, not including the two expansion packs) for free, and i believe that that deal is supposed to stay active until 2007

I myself pay for it, because, well, the expansion packs make this game great (although its great by itself, but its incredibly better with the xpacks).

for ny1 who likes text-based games, (who likes text-based games?lol) this is 1 that is so-so i guess.

Dark Throne

p.s. i dont no if this will work!

I hate Dark Throne with a passion equal to a brazillion suns.

Seriously, the game made me boycott all Browser-based MMOs.

lol i havent played since may and i have like 20,000 turns and no DUs lol

How about Nation States? I found it to be a fun and intelligent game.

Updated

Cool game, I alwasy wanted to run a scandinavian liberal paradise.

Yea, I've been playin it for a while now... I think I have about 600+ million in The Federation of the Greater Lands O_o

Oh, btw my government is a Inoffensive Centrist Democracy.. I was a Compulsolry(grr) Consumerist State.

That name didn't turn up any results when I searched for it.

The Greater Lands <--- Thats my name

EDIT: Now I'm a moralistic democracy

When do you issues go through?

It takes a while, most annoying part in my opinion (but realistic)

Yea, usually its over night... But it pretty fun

I find it odd Kingdom of Loathing has yet to be mentioned.

Never heard of it...

looks a little to simplistic and ridiculously farfetched. vampiric limes.... O.o

Could be good for alaugh but after a while I only see it getting annoying

I checked it out.. /agreed

I'm sorry but I was scared by the cartoons..

You'd be suprised about how far strategy and planning goes in the later stages of the game. It gives the appearince of being simpled and rediculous at first and grows into complexity. And besides, I really think it is up to the viewers on what they want to play.

Hehe, as I've started to play it, I'm actually liking it.

I once had a very high level character on the game, I do really know how it works on the higher level, unfortunatly I quit for a six month period and he was deleted due to inactivity. Still, I am enjoying the game from building up from a low level again, and there are expansive amounts of new content.

I still don't understand it..

And besides.. I decide if I want to put it up on the list or not

But since I am a nice guy I'll do it

Thank you much!

Is it just me, is the Nationstates UN a little ridiculous. It's surprising to see some of the crap that's passed.

yeah....

Yes.. and thats why I refused to be apart of it...

I was once apart of a Anti - UN group but I was kicked for inactivity (in game of course)
