Me and a friend  were greatly enjoying the game. Setup a guild and were starting to get other friends interested. Something came up and we didn't play for a week. AO disbanded our guild because it didn't "grow fast enough to meet requirements".

So my Character was out the money for setting up the guild and all the quests I had done to build up guild experience were now gone. That's right the game discarded all my efforts towards creating the guild with a simple info window.

Complete and total fail on AO's part. Hopefully they stopped penalizing their players for having a real life outside of the game too?

 

Yeah you have to pay upkeep cost or guild is disbanded.

I downloaded this game, Windslayer, and I really like it. It's a completely free adventure mmo, like MapleStory but much better. It can be found at Outspark.com.

I also recently downloaded Fiesta, which is another game I found at Outspark.com. I haven't played it too much, only got to lvl 10, but I really like it also.

There's other games on the site that I haven't tried yet but it's worth mentioning. Just register for free and download any of the games you want.

HI :D, guys please help me. i am looking for an mmorpg that has races such as "Humans, elfs, orcs , dwarves..." some expamples of these games are - Rohan blood feud - shadowbane - dark and light ... . However i am looking for a game with these specifications and free to play with good graphics. PLEASE PLEASE help me and help the others such as me. thanks very much, if you don't kow any games like this can u tell me where i can find?

Good info, but it needs updating.

Nice post! Just curious as to why there aren't more free to play games on there! There are some great F2P games that are as good if not better than some on the list. Also, Tabula Rasa is dead.

Here, I have broken up games depending on the depth of the crafting system.

Has Crafting (Of some sort)

City of Heroes / Villains, Dark Age of Camelot, EverQuest, Final Fantasy XI, Guild Wars, Lineage II, Lord of the Rings Online, Ultima Online, World of Warcraft, Tabula Rasa, Warhammer

Deep Crafting (Widely considered to have the deepest craft systems)

EVE Online, EverQuest 2, Star Wars Galaxies, Vanguard, A Tale in the Desert, Pirates of the Burning Sea

Have a game to add? Post a reply!  

 

Final Fantasy XI needs to be moved down to the Deep Crafting section.  It has a very grindy, extremely deep crafting system that not everyone can do because of its complexities and IMO it rivals all of the other MMOs you have listed:

• Most of the best items are very difficult to make; that require rare and hard to acquire materials!
• An extreme grind that takes an incredible commitment and months to raise just a few points!
• High chance to break your crystals, lose some or all of your materials, and it costs a fortune! 
• Based on elements that co-inside with the time of day, weather, and week!
• 8 different directions you can have your character facing that work together with the elements!
• Crafting Guilds have open/closed schedules!
• Every item that drops in the game has a use, most of which are in some form of craft...{there is no vendor trash}!
• There are no in-game guides to follow or that tells you too combine X & Y to make Z!

I've done hardcore grinding on Runescape and it takes way longer than 100 days to reach the caps. In fact, nobody has reached the full cap for all levels. It's impossible even after 3 years of daily grinding.

Good list though.

EVE online, good for new and veteran players , if u got involved in this univers,  belive me, it's for looooong time. So try it! 

PS. Contact me ,if you need more info on the game or extended trial (21-day).  

Have you tried SD Online? Take a look of my blog

I will choose the 2029 online, I'm sure it is a nice online game^

so many

nice list

great!

Tabula Rasa is now defunct and you cannot play it.  Not that I think anyone would expect you to keep this list always up to date, just a heads up.

Great list overall.  I've played most of the games you have listed and generally agree with all your points and don't disagree with any of them enough to correct you.  Good work.

Hello all :)

I've been playing Lineage II for 4 years, but have fallen out of love it with it for a number of reasons. So, can anyone suggest a game which satisfies the following criteria?

• Free to play
• No real world cash transactions possible, including rl cash for in game items (such as is allowed in RF Online) or to buy in game currency (sadly so evident in L2)
• Contains GMs that actually do their jobs (ie ban botting, are reactive to in game issues etc)
• Has a reasonable player base for a UK based player (I was on a NA server on L2, as Euro servers didn't exist when I started playing)
• Has decent graphics for a high end PC
• Has worthwhile quests which aren't all about kill xxxx mobs to get pitiful amount of in game currency/useless items

Ideally, but not essentially, also the following:

• Event periods as a welcome distraction to the inevitable grind
• Ability to allow 2 or more simultaneous accounts running on one PC (eg for a buffer)
• Some kind of crafting capability
• Ability to buy/sell from/to other players, either individually or by setting shops

I'm not a big fan of PVP per se so that wouldn't be a big selling point to me. More interested in engrossing gameplay with good people and no griefers. Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
