Free MMORPGS

[Barinthus]

Apparently there are few MMORPGs that doesn't require you to pay monthly fees to play - just purchase the software...

Guild Wars' one of them.

So far I've determined that Legends of Might and Magic are also free as well. However according to reviews, it also stinks.

I'm a cheapskate and a former mudder. I'm accustomed to mudding for free with occasional donations so the idea of having to pay an online fee in order to play a mmorpg makes me wince.

Do you know of any others? Have you played those? What are your thoughts?

Thanks!

I'm with you Bar. Once I buy a game I don't want to have to pay a monthly fee to play it.

I'm told that lineage 2 has some good free servers, but it's a crummy game, and the 'official' servers do cost money to play on.

For me, it's the other way around.... I don't mind paying a monthly fee, but that makes it really hard to justify the initial full-cost purchase.

I don't like paying at all.

I guess I was spoilt by the year-long beta period with Dransik. :|

Play guild wars - though it isn't a MMORPG it's close and free, and looks awesome.

I honestly thought that link would not work.

I closed that window rapidly. I saw YEARS of my life slipping though my fingers.

I'm looking at that list, all I see is fantasy ones. Any futuristic ones like fallout? that's what I might enjoy.

Saw AO, I'll try it some time soon. Apparently my search turned up couple of free MMORPGs but most of them are... interesting.

I'm sure of them are good although not graphic intensive but cannot be arsed to wade through those stuff.

Am serious considering either NWN or Guild Wars for summer fun.
