Whats a good MMO to try?


Recommended Posts

Hi! Feeling burnt out on WoW and would like to try another MMO. I keep trying single-player RPG games, but something about them feels kind of empty.

I tried DDO, but I didn't like the idea of the store. Also, a friend of mine has played for awhile and he doesn't seem to like how much the game leans towards melee classes.

I'm tempted to try out WarHammer Online... Aion looks interesting, but seems to be getting really mixed reviews. Any other suggestions?

Runes of magic is almost a clone is the design aspect of World of Warcraft and it is free. I have had experience playing Silkroad online as well which is a rather nice game.

If anything is a clone of WoW, it sure as hell isn't RoM, however 4Story & Gates of Andaron (which is just another version of 4Story with a different name, however no real differences between the two), is a clone of WoW.

I am currently playing Runes of Magic, Allod's Online (which is in Closed beta 3, but you can find a beta key by searching http://allods.gpotato.com/ ) and Aion.

I must say RoM is pretty dang close to being a wow clone, but its a ton of fun. Allod's Online is a lot of fun to and it actually has ship combat in it and PvP using ships, etc. Aion of course is getting mixed reviews because it is kinda iffy. I really just play Allod's right now since its in closed beta.

Both Allod's and RoM are of course F2P games. There honestly isn't any good P2P MMO's out right now. Not until next year when Star Trek, Star Wars and Guild Wars 2 hit.

What do you mean its not a clone. I meant by visually a clone. Originally in the early beta it was running on the actual world of warcraft engine that they had taken from hosting a private server and other things. And then later in the beta Blizzard complained and they rewrote the engines. It visually still looks like WoW though

I forgot about Wizards 101 and Free Realms has gotten really good lately from what I was told. They have even added player housing to the game.

Have you tried Atlantica Online, Sword of the New World or Granado Espada (the latter is the same game as Sword of the New World, however, Granado Espada is kept more up-to-date)?

I'm having a tough time even wanting to play Granado Espada. I signed up on their website (which took me to IAHGames to sign up. I then had to activate the game, which I did. That was 2 days ago now and still not activated! I've installed and patched and it says wrong username or password, so I know it's to do with this damn activation.

Defense of the Ancients (aka Dota)

Just started playing after I finished the fall semester and it's got enough to keep me going for a long time. Still have a lot of stuff to learn, but it is a great way for me to waste a half hour or so in between classes or something.

Real Life. Careful though. It only comes in hardcore mode. :p

Seriously. I played EverQuest for 4 years, EverQuest II for 1 year, Final Fantasy XI for 4 years, and World of Warcraft for 3 years. Took me too long to realize what a waste of time they are and how much they screwed me up. Just stay away from them...

I'm not sure what the problem is, it should've activated your account right away, try logging into your account on IAHGames' web site, and see if you can get a new activation sent.

Personally, the first MMO I ever played and the only one I will continue playing, is EVE Online. Fell in love with it right away :)

It activated around noon yesterday. I am always able to play for about 10 minutes then it disconnects me and I can't log in again because supposedly I logged in on a different computer (which I didn't and despite changing my password, it's still happening). I give up on this game, it looks cool, but I just don't want the aggrevation

My suggestion then, would be to try the other version, it's not updated as often, but is well worth it: Sword of the New World.

Why play another MMO, ive seen alot of ppl go from WoW to other mmo's and always feel really disapointed

But if your looking for a fun MMO, try Age of Conan, its cheap and its got full content till around lvl 55 then its all grindey(but well worth the experience)

Aion is pure grind, and warhammer i hear is pretty boring.

Startrek MMO looks promising as well but not out yet

Sign up for the Final Fantasy MMO beta as well as that should be starting soon.
