What's a good FREE mmorpg?

[bigrobbierob]

My gf and I enjoy dungeon crawling. We really liked the Norrath and Balders Gate series for the ps2.

I recently have purchased a laptop, and would like to play a good mmorpg online with her. She plays Runescape, but she's level 88 and it would take me too long to catch up.

What's some good ones? I was looking around and saw some that looked interesting....Last Chaos...Dark Eden....Dungeon Runner....anyone play those?

I'm currently playing diablo II until 3 comes out. If you have a psp a number of dungeon crawlers have come out, including one with D&D rules.

We'd actually have been thinking about Diablo 2....

highly recommended?

Would we have our own world or will we have scores of 12 year olds hollering "noob" and "can I have food?" all the time?

I'm trying to avoid monthly memberships. With there being 2 of us, that would be twice the fees...

you would know the answer to that already, you either have kids or you don't. *j/k*

It sounds like you're not familiar with d2, it's pretty old and not really an 'mmo', you might like guild wars, you have to buy the game, but there are no monthly fees and it's very popular. I've never played it but the character art is my style and would probably be yours too if you like old school rpg's.

Guild wars is ok, but it really gets boring. I dont like how battles carry out at all. I enjoyed WOW, but dont play it anymore. I dont play any MMORPGs


Try MapleStory. Believe it or not that game is really addicting and fun. Great MMO.

Not so much of your classical dungeon crawler though.

I usually play the G-Box system, short for girl box. I can play for hours.

It's a biiger concern of hers...she has to put up with that crap playing Funescape and wishes she could get away from it.

The main thing we want is to be able to play co-op

I'd actually been eyeballing Guild Wars too.

lost power city is not bad for an online free game. Only one IP adress though. If you try two you get banned for some time

 

[bigrobbierob]

I ended up getting 2 copies of Diablo Battle Chest.

I can't get the tcp/ip to work though.

I'm going to have to try a closed world.

That lord of the rings mmorpg looks pretty good. not sure if they have a free trial or not. i never got round to playing it while it was in beta

I was in the closed beta for it, it ended up disappointing. I was also in closed beta for Dungeons & Dragons online up until about a month after release. I have 2 level 70 characters in World of Warcraft (which I qut playing back in december) and 2 EVE online accounts which I reactivate every once in a great while.

lol i admit im a nerd also.. i have 3 lvl 70's on WoW and several lvl 50's a good mmo i used to play every day was starwars galaxies to this day i havent found a game that i like more than i like the original SWG

 

[TheLastRonin]

Runes of Magic=free+wow clone+cash shop

Perfect World=free grinder, good customization/graphics+cash shop

I play Lotro with the wife...but I still miss FFXI..:laugh:

 

[FilipeBR]

Perfect World is fun, but no customizable clothing, they all look the same so it sucks

 

[FilipeBR]

Nothing beats Ultima Online though....good ol days =P

 

[EasyEJL]

There are non-pay WOW servers out there

I think you can buy clothing form the cash shop...they have to make money somehow lol.

UO was good....I still like FFXI better...:laugh:

True I am liking LOTRO alot more than WOW myself though. More roleplaying,less kids much better community.

I enjoy WOW because... IF I get stuck or have a question, every one already knows an answer to them

I actually enjoyed Rose online a bit back in the day, but still liked Maple Story too.

lol yea everyone knows the answers to your questions, but asking questions usually gets you flamed on my realm lol

thats why you find yourself a nice guild. I got into a guild with my character at lv 28, i learned ALOT from some great guild mates. Then stopped playing again once I hit lv 45. I just lose interest i RPG's after awhile.

BTW what realm you on? I am on Moonrunner and Thrall

 

[SoCo4Fun]

I wish I had time to play...between work, training, and hanging out with the family I just don't have the time anymore

 

[Dyou]

i play on mal'ganis yea i got into a great guild when i first started. i get bored of wow also so i take breaks i thought the new expansion would spark my interest again but i played the 10 day trial and was still bored of it.
