Free MMOG List

[DumberDrummer]

Here is my list of Free MMO Games. If you have any suggestions, please PM me so I can add them, or if you are a mod, go ahead and add them yourself.

Things about this list:
1) "FPS are not MMO games!"

Well, technically, no, but free ones are just as hard to come by as free MMORPGs. Besides, 64 people on one ET server can get pretty hectic.

2) "Why don't you just get a job and pay for one? Slacker...".

Most people have their reasons for wanting to play a free game. Comments like this do not belong in this thread, so don't post them.

And now, the list:
America's Army - Army based FPS, by the US Army. I don't really like this game, but many do. Excellent graphics

Anarchy Online - SciFi/Futuristic MMORPG. Graphics are fairly good.

Charazay - Like Hat Trick, but for basketball.

Conquer Online - Good Graphics

GunZ - It is a FPS, but you are able to move like on the matrix, dodging bullets and blocking them with your sword.

Hat Trick - A Text Based soccer manager game

Kal Online - A MMORPG with an Oriental theme. Great graphics (at least the screenshots look good).

Kings of Chaos - A text based game, sort of a spare time thing. Similar to TEQ.

Knight Online - Very good free to play MMORPG. Graphics are excellent. Could use a few more features, but for free, you can't beat this one. Similar to Dark Age of Camelot.

Legend Of Ares - Screenshots look pretty good, I will try this tomorrow (elf)

MapleStory - Cartoony MMOG. I haven't played this one, so I have no idea what it really looks like.

MU Online - Medieval theme, large user base. Graphics are not so great.

New Age 3 - Isometric viewpoint, looks kind of like a browser based MMO Command and Conquer

Pardus - Futuristic MMO in which you go around making money doing various things.

Rakion - Another Medival MMORPG, looks a bit more strategy based however.

Risk Your Life - Apparently if you take enough surveys you can play this game for free. Graphics look great.

Rubies of Eventide - Medieval based MMORPG. Graphics look similar to Knight Online.

Runescape - Browser based MMO, medieval theme. Graphics are acceptable, but not superb.

Silk Road Online - Another Korean MMORPG, it looks like. The screenshots look ok, but I see none of the usual HP/MP/EXP bars, so I don't know for sure about it.

Stargate Wars - A text based game similar to Kings of Chaos and TEQ

Taenaria Derivia Zallus Kitara - Another text based game.

In TDZK, you play the part of a space pilot, commanding a spaceship across the galaxy. Each player in TDZK starts out at a low level in the most basic of ships; a frigate. It is the player's own choice as to what he or she will become in the game.

Terra Est Quastosa - Web Based Strategy game. I assume mostly text/link based. Let me know if I'm wrong.

Tibia - Overhead/2d MMORPG. Looks like a typical fantasy storyline as well.

War Rock

War Rock is a free game that features graphics and effects that are of a quality you would expect from a very good commercial project. The gameplay is similar to Battlefield and features spawning and frantic online fights including vehicles and aircraft.

Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory - Great FPS, very decent graphics, though no longer the best relatively speaking

I'll post more as I get them. Sorry to those who've posted and whose games are not listed here... I'll get to you eventually, promise.

Obviously, due to time considerations, I haven't had time to play them all... if you suggest one, or have played one of these, it'd be great if you could post a small review for me to put in here.

I ran out of colors about here.
I've cleared out the posts in this thread to keep clutter down, so people can see the info.

Thanks to the contributors for suggesting games.

NOTE: If you want to contribute a game, please note the following:

DO NOT POST HOW TO PLAY GAMES LIKE WoW OR EQ2 FOR FREE.

While it is "free" and a "mmorpg" I don't think that sort of thing has any place here. We don't want to do anything here that could draw attention to us and put us on Sony or Blizzard's hitlist.

I would add Ogre Island to that list. It's a good game with really helpful players. Graphics aren't all that great however so alot of people don't even give it a chance. There is a part of the game you have to pay for but it is not monthly. You pay $5 per every 5000 Platinum which is another form of money in the game used to access high level areas. Other than that the entire game is free. Check it out at http://stage.ogreisland.com

Hy all,
I want to inform you all about a game I found: Galaxy Wars
It's based on the well famous PLANETARION...
The creator changed some of the statistics for the game and added some new stuff to make the game more fun.
In this game you are the leader of a planet which you give a name yourself. You need to become the planet with the highest score.
In order to do this you need to construct buildings and research technologies. With these you can build more and better space ships which you can use to attack other planets.

Game features:- It's a 30 seconds tick based game which means that you get your resources every 30 seconds.
(example: When you get 100 Metal per tick will mean that you get 100 Metal every 30 seconds.)
(example 2: When you build a spaceship and it takes 8 ticks will mean that it will take 8*30 seconds = 240 seconds to complete the spaceship)
- You can form an alliance with other members so you can attack others together.
- There is a forum where you can discuss stuff
- There is an IRC channel with the admin of the game
- You can send everyone in the game a message
- 3 resource types: Metal, Crystal and Eonium.

Continuum is a free MMOG currently known as Subspace. Now going on for 10 years, Continuum is one of the largest Free Online Mulitiplayer Games out there. You can download it at:

www.ssdownloads.com

The community forums can be found at:

www.ssforum.net

[Bugger]

you can call Guild Wars free too, cause there's no subscription fee.
and its a great game.

Don't know if this one has been listed, but Legend of the Green Dragon (lotgd.net) is a good browser based game. It's fun and only takes about 10 minutes or so to play each day.

As FPs are being mentioned, Nothing beats good old doom. Play online doom games by downloading skulltag and zdaemon (needs original ddom files but there is a free file available that would do the job. Go to www.skulltag.com and www.zdaemon.org to get them. They come with launch programs (where you can choose games to play) but you can get one with other rooms by downloading player connector (www.playerconnector.com) and it works with other famous games. most computers should be able to run all of these.

Rakion's not really an MMORPG, it's more of an hack 'n slash MMOG.

Knight Online's graphics aren't all the great. Silkroad's and Kal's are really good, though. Kal might be a little glitchy, and Silkroad's servers are almost always full.

MapleStory is a 2-D platformer MMORPG. It plays a little like the Kirby games.

[cbieger]

Fly for Free? It used to be free, not sure if it is anymore. It's a top view anime style click 2 slash kinda game. After attaining a certain level you're able to get a broom, or flying surfboard. Sorry no website provided, no google at work.

[tomcatlx]

Rakion is a fps. It is like an MMORPG without the adventure element. The focus is mainly on Player to player combat using 5 different classes of combatants. It is kinda like counterstrike third-person style. Physics actually have a major role in how it affects your attacks such as gravity.


www.outwar.com is like kingsofchaos as a text based game.

[tomcatlx]

Apparently, I couldn't find the edit button on my last post... so I'll make another post. (Date too long?)


Anyways, I am frequenting a new game called Space Cowboy Online or otherwise known as SCO.

Here is the link: http://sco.gpotato.com/index.php

Basically this is a free MMORPG that has cash items to be spent if your interested in looks or having a slight advantage in terms of upgrading weaponry.

It is like your basic MMORPG where you can "grind" on monsters for experience and challenge others in a duel.

The main DIFFERENCE however that makes this game so unique is that you do not control a typical knight but more of a SPACE PLANE!

The classes are known as GEARS and their are 4 types:
Agear-Tank (like a tower archer)
Bgear-Bomber (like a melee warrior)
Igear-fighter (like a speedy ninja)
Mgear-Mage (like a...magical mage)

Agears basically are great for portal camping.
Bgears are great for close proximity as well as aerial bombing.
Igears are great for hit and run tactics having reliance on evasion.
Mgears are great for buffing, healing, and taking long amounts of damage.

The other unique quality of this game is that your character becomes obligated to choose between two nations at around level 11. Once a nation is chosen, you cannot talk, trade, or interact with players of the other nation IN ANY WAY. The only means of interaction is through combat and there are nation wars as well as nation leaders set every month.



If anyone does decide to play this game, I am a B-gear known as TomcatLX on the JOYMUS server. I belong to the nation of ANI. If you want assistance, you should join ANI on the joymus game server.

Preferably I would like you guys to join BCU the rival nation because Joymus at the time of this post has been quite dominated by ANI and I personally find it boring by the ease of the periodical nation wars.





IN summary, Space Cowboy Online is a mixture of MMORPG elements such as Diablo 2, FPS such as Halo, and Arcade flight simulator such as Star Fox 64.


MMORPG+FPS+Arcade flight simulator = Space Cowboy Online.

Requires 1 gigabyte to install and play.

A good game i have some across is Rakion. Its grphics are good and tghere is a good stat sytem. You can buy better armour and weapons likely most games, but the difference is that this game is HIGHLY based on PvP. You can however play team challenges or single player challenges. And better yet, single player challenges still give you exp and gold, unlike some games.
You need a game launcher called Softnyx (which a game that i am less familiar with (Gunbound) uses) that you need to play it, though it doesn't play a huge roll in the game.
Link: http://rakion.softnyx.net
You are able to buy items with real money, but it isnt as big as some other games such as Maplestory.
Overall its different from other games, but still has its similarities (if thats the right spelling)

[forcifer]

...rakion has already been posted. please check list before posting

[ju5t1n]

[sid18]

Currently Playing: Guild Wars Prophecies atm
Its fun, free (0ther than buying in the store) and the graphics are really good (my friend used to play it before going to WoW, and he said that Guildwars wins the graphcs department). lvl 7 W/N
RECOMENDED ++

Conquer Online:
This game is ok for killing time, and you get into a bunch of grinds on it to level up. I've played this one over a year, and can say that its getting old, i mean really the economy is becoming worse everyday. If TQ would make a new server, and not transfer the old servers players and economy to it then it might get better. I would still recomend it though, because some of the people in the game are awesome and will help you. If you make a character in Dreams Server cluster in the Dream server, PM me and i'll try and help you out.
I have a lvl 88 Trojan, lvl 80 Archer, lvl 4x Fire Tao, lvl 4x Warrior, and lvl 75 Water Tao
RECOMENDED +
Link Here
Silkroad Online:
I liked this one, only played it for a month, I'm thinking about trying again, but the servers are always full, but I enjoyed the game alot, the people were really nice on the server i was on, when i could get into it...
RECOMENDED ++
Link Here
Eudemon Online: (haven't seen this one on here)
Another game brought to you by TQ (the creaters of Conquer online)
I've never actually played it, but i might start it sometime, its supposed to be were all the GM's from CO went too, and put all there attention too lol if you decide to play it send me a PM and i might decide to dl it.
RECOMENDED ? (worth a shot atleast, supposed to be a better conquer)
Link Here
