Frankly I'm bored. I don't feel like reading, going to the beach, hanging out at the mall, etc. I feel like wasting my life away in front of a screen.
DLP's been a great waste of time but Too Human isn't out for another month and I'm in a gaming mood.


So can anyone suggest a free MMO type game that doesn't suck? Note I have played various MMO's and have written them off for various reasons. Please don't throw a hissy fit if your suggestions rebuked.

 

Hah, good luck. Good MMO's require support and dedicated servers. That ain't cheap. Unless you go text-based you've got bugger-all chance.

 

True, but I really don't want out spring the cash for WoW or it's likes. I'm just hoping some anonymous member out there has some gem he'd be willing to share.

 

I agree with Tehan.

Oh, and you could always restart Diablo II (which I assume you've played).

Whenever I'm really bored, like right now, and have no desire to write, I get out Diablo II and beast the game on /players 8 singleplayer.

Inspiration than returns.

 

@The Heir: I dug out my old copy of Starcraft a couple weeks ago and whipped through that. Basement-diving for some more classics doesn't sound too bad.

@Zombie: A game should be fun, I should want to play more of it. If the only reason I'm playing it is because of previously invested time that I don't want rendered meaningless, then that game has failed and therefore sucks. I try to avoid those types. Admittedly you can give me two near-identical games and one can suck while the others fun for completely mundane reasons.

Also 2Moons looks fun and I will try it but is it still in Beta? Or is the wiki page out of date?

 

Well, my little brother has recently discovered "Shaiya Online"
It's decent I suppose (At least as far as free MMO's go), and free.

http://shaiya.aeriagames.com/

Personally, I'm waiting for GW2. The first one was, and still is, awesome, and I'm expecting the second to continue the trend. Not free though.

 

I'm leery of Aeria games in general and Shaiya didn't impress me much. Thanks for the suggestion though Itziak.

@Zombie: Do you play 2Moons? Server/etc.

 

Perfect World ( http://www.perfectworld.com.my/ ) seems to be decent, for a free mmorpg. Its fairly new, with stuff still coming out I believe.

Silkroad Online ( http://www.silkroadonline.net/ ) is also a decent game, but it gets very tedious after awhile, and every quest gets to be go out and kill 10 of these, or find 10 things, by killing these monsters.

 

I hear runescape is a really good game lol

 

@Zombie: 2Moons is like WoW just without everything I hated about the game. The combat is actually awesome, so far the quests have been good (even the spider killing ones were interesting enough) without the drag and boredom I got from WoW quests, it's designed well-enough that it doesn't bother me, dialogue and the bits of voice acting are pretty funny, and best of all it's free! I should probably shoot you for taking so long to tell me about it but thanks man.

 

I used to play 2Moons but that was a long time ago... I remembered that I was a summoner and it was awesome.

 

Hmm, there is a game out called Dungeon Runners...

http://www.dungeonrunners.com/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dungeon_Runners

The first wiki paragraph probably says it best:

It's a fun little game that I have been playing off and on.

With that said, It can become a bitch because the developers limit a nonpaying player to one inventory page. As well as limiting the type of items that you can and can't use. Regardless of that, I find myself enjoying it when I play.

 

@Zombie: Trieste server, on Hoseo, level 7 Vicious Summoner named Zwicky. I'm usually not a fan of magic-casters but this one looks alright.

 

1) Find a Ragnarok Online private server.

2) Download Openkore.

3) Learn to write bots.

4) ???

5) Profit!

 

I've downloaded 2Moons and will be playing a Summoner when I get into the game. I'll get on the Trieste server, I guess. Don't care if the class is common, Summoner seems badass.


Edit: Right... I'm getting the message 'Your status is Blocked Country' even though I'm in the U.S. So I'm gonna have to send some e-mails or something before I can get into the game.
