I liked it =)

Check out http://lonnie.servehttp.com for the game called eclipse 2.  give it a try.

You should add http://lysle.net/cnd to the list.  :-)

www.chosenspace.com
www.csgalaxies.com
www.galacticfleets.com

They are all Browser-based Space Trading/Mining/Combat MMO's

They are all run by the same guy and the community usually play a couple of these games at the same time.
There is a grouped forum: http://forum.pbbghub.com

Was Bored on a Saturday morning

You forgot www.akarrianepansion.com free to play, nintendo-like graphics. Amazing system for such old school graphics.

www.TitansofTime.com is 2D.

It mixed Old School Zelda Elements with modern day MMORPG. There is a lot more to this game than what you may see at first on the surface.

Oh, I see Dofus is there, the first MMO I ever played (and am still playing).

Maybe you could add GalaXseeds: http://www.thebigrip.com/Galaxseeds/index.aspx

It's FF2P, 2D (of course) and rather cute. Set in space, you control a robotic gardener. I know it doesn't sound exciting - I just really like the game for the casual mini-games really. When I feel "casual", i log in, paly a couple mini-games, get my little break, and still get to leveled my character.

In any case, very good list there, thanks a lot!

Land of Magic

http://lom.neofun.com/

Easy going FTP game that has been in open beta since march 09

 mm dofus 2 as been annouced for december  i believe

http://www.dofus.com/en  12--02-2009

Actually Dofus 2 is not a new game in itself, it's basically Dofus reskinned and with better performance. There is no change in background, game mechanics, or level design.

Is Asheron's Call not considered old school?

Add NEStalgia. I heard a player was using dial up and it worked just great. It also a 2D typed retro themed game.

glad to see galactic fleets, chsoen space and csgalaxies are ont heir ive spent about 2 years of my lif eon em

Why isn't Lord of Ultima on the list anywhere?

http://www.lordofultima.com/en/game

Its an MMO RTS, same as Ministry of War albeit it  very different in terms of game play/graphics.

The community can be great once you find a decent Alliance.

I actually made a game that falls in this category. It is a 2D Browser RPG - www.titansoftime.com.

We've been up for a couple years, really could use some more players.

Hi. Im a quite new guy on these forums but been reading posts for a while now. This is my first post. 
I've seen that ppl have been advertising some free and MMO's so I thought I could ad one excellent game too. 

Dunno how old you ppl are and how good comps you have but this game suits for everyone I think. I have been playing it for 8 years now (started when I was 12 lol) and it still rocks. Anyhow, the big minus is that we don't have that many players left because many have quit since they have families and so on. We haven't also gotten that many new players because of poor advertising and the fact that most ppl like good graphics, the glazing for the cake, but in this game the skill is the most important thing with the awesome community. 
Here's a quote from our site:

 Death Star Battle is a persistent MMO game that has been running for over a decade. It is a fast paced 2D space shooter with a Star Wars inspired theme. 

In a world where 3D games with high-end graphics dominate the market, it seems counter intuitive to go to a grassroots 2D game. Then again, when you're looking for a game that is easy to learn, competitive and requires real skill; where you don't have to grind your way to success or schedule the game in your every day life doings, a 2D game may be just what you're looking for. 

DSB can be played from nearly any computer, and is for both hardcore, as well as casual gamers. This game will not compare graphically to more modern games, but that is exactly the point. The focus is more on skill based game play, and community, rather than flashy graphics or gimmicks. 

You don't need to invest hours of your life leveling, or hundreds of dollars upgrading your computer with the latest and greatest hardware. The type of skill required for this game is unique in a league of its own. There is no grinding, and always something new to do--from the standard game, to events such as capture the flag, racing, dueling, league play, and much, much more! If you can get past the dated graphics, you will find an ever expanding universe with something for everyone. Whether you want to play for 5 minutes or 5 days, Death Star Battle has what you are looking for.

You can dl it from http://www.deathstarbattle.com/downloads/deathstarbattle.exe 

and it's totally free.
