Hi all,

I'm just new here. Look around a bit and stuff. So far haven't really got an answer to my question. So I hope you could help me with finding a new MMORPG. If this post is just like some other post here on the forums, please post a link. :D

 

I'm searching for a good looking Fantasy MMORPG. I want to be able to be original in my class, to be able to cusomize my build totally and not having to do exactly the same as everyone else. I like fantasy MMORPGs with big skill graphics. It must be endgame pvp orientated. I like games that are not very easy to play, and in which you have to plan what you are going to do, which skills to take what build to follow etc. And it needs to have an active community.

Here is a list of what I like of certain games I played:

  • Cabal Online: I liked the nice graphics. The availability of alot of skills. Though they all a bit of the same effect.
  • Shaiya: I really liked the pvp. The looks were OK. But the grind was too long.
  • Runes of Magic: Nic graphics. Limited choice of skills. Nice dual-class system
  • Runescape: Yes I've played that game xD. Not the best graphics, but a nice amount of quests. Actually I liked the quests so much that I did them all...
  • Archlord: I tried. Did the first few lvls. The graphics were well, but the server was just deserted

Thats about it. If you've got any questions for me, or suggestions. Feel free to comment/advice me :D

Thx

Vipers right, sounds like your looking for Guild Wars. Think it has a free trial at the main websight :)

Guild Wars is retail.

Basically, 20 dollars, and you get free play forever on one campaign.

There are 4 campaigns to choose from, totalling at about 90 dollars for them all.

Guild Wars has THE best PvP system out there, with a HUGE variety of skills to choose from.

You can choose from around 10 classes, and you can have a secondary class, which you are able to change at a later date.

The PvE is relatively easy, but also very involving. Basically, you fight out a story line, with a level cap of 20..but it doesn't stop there. Each campaign offers new classes.

You can also make PvP only characters, who automatically start at 20, but are only able to PvP, and not go into the PvE world.

The areas are instanced, though, meaning you get your own copy. This has it's ups and downs. No one is there to kill your spawns, but no one is there to talk to, either.

Your group members come in with you, but that's about as close as you'll get.

 

I'd say give it a shot.

I'm positive about what I play. If it ends & I get negative, I move on. This is how we not troll.
