There are some that allow yout to download the software and just pay the monthyl subscription. Planetside does this, i think, and possibly WW2 Online.
There's also some free MMORPGs, but they are usually pretty crappy. Planeshift is the only one that comes close to the quality of the retail ones.Rethink Refuse Reduce Reuse

I couldn't get it to connect, but from reading the website it was still in alpha mode. All you could do was run around and jump and climb things - no combat at all nor any economy. :shrug:I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).Comment

don't play mmorpgs if you want to have a life. in just a few months of everquest(played when it first came out) i learned quickly to have the most fun you have the live in everquest as much as possible(one reason being if you don't you can't stay the same level as your friends). i quit shortly after i figured this out. mmorpgs are very fun and addictive especially the first one you play but ultimately unrewarding imo. the level treadmill is too much after a while also.Eschewing obfuscation and transcending conformity since 1982.

Yeha, I knew a kid in middle school, who seroiusly quit middle school, so he could play that game. I also heard that some people died playing Everquest, b/c they never left their computers to get food.Comment

My only experience of mmorpg is Dransik, because that was being offered for free. It was in beta for about a year, and I played for a few months there. Twas fun, but the major things I like doing such as becoming a skilled blacksmith or carpenter weren't very well balanced. You could chop down an entire forest and get a massive amount of logs, but due to low sawing skills only end up with 10 pieces of board. Even worse, then trying to carpent the boards into a club (worth less than the boards themselves, mind you) not only failed almost all the time, but generally only gave you 1 experience point for your effort. Considering you got 100-200 exp each time you cut a tree down...
I hear the balance is better now.
It was quite amusing the time I started a new character. The first time around I mined for ore and then used it all up trying to level my blacksmithing skill. The only money I had was from selling spider or bat meat, and as such I was very poor. The second time around though, I mined and then sold all the ore for a massive profit rather than wasting it on experience. I was soon running around in chainmail with the best weapon while everyone around was struggling to afford leather armour.
It was fun being 1337.

This one is described as fully free. It has older-style graphics but may just be decent. I'm giving it a go, anyhow.I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).Comment

Not too bad so far. I'm hunting rabbits at the moment, you get 2 gold per bit of meat from them plus 2 gold per rabbit skin. One quirk of the game is that rabbits are considered "containers" like a bag because they are holding meat or carrots when you kill them. A side-effect of this is that you can store many rabbit skins inside the one rabbit. So there I am, carrying around a rabbit filled with rabbits.
I was collecting blueberries too before, but you get 3 per bush and only 1 gold for every 5 you sell. So I am still collecting them, but eating them now to get health instead. Selling them seems to be largely a waste of time.
Rats are more dangerous than rabbits - they attack back. I killed a few though and went up 1 point in club fighting. I don't know what triggers this or how long until I level again.I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).Comment
