    Yeah really, lets Say Lineage 2 thats a ok MMO. Rappelz is a bad clone of Lineage 2 and than Shaiya is a bad clone of Rappelz again.

    The game has no content, its very grindy, PVP sux, PVE sux, the game had a lot of players but because of lack of content everyone left the game so now there r for real just about 1000-2000 active players.

    I used to review FREE MMORPGS and this is one of the worst MMORPGS i have ever played. The only acceptable thing is the graphic.

    If you want a free MMORPG check out Rohan Online which will probably be the best free MMO of 2008. It is amazing compared to the other free MMORPGS.

    This MMORPG also features the WASD movements like WOW which is a big plus in my case.

    You might also want to try Sword of the New World which is quite fun and the graphic is very good here u control 3 characters at once so its pretty original.

    Perfect World is the last game i will recommend you and its also very fun. a lot of content and probably the biggest free mmorpg ever created

    would u happen to know any mmorpg that is kinda like ultima online?

    i really hate the pvp mmo's that rely on level and equipment. i need somethin that requires some actual skill. i can't find anythin that will even come close to UO...i guess i'm stuck waitin for mortal online. :(

    Well thats very hard to find. most FRRE MMORPGS uses full auto attack etc so the guy with best stuff (bought most stuff in the itemshop) wins.

    I would check out some of the bird perspective MMORPGS for that.

    Like Corum, Thang online and Conquer or whatever they'r names r :)

    i don't mind paying. i just can't find a game that will keep me into it like ultima online did. i really really loved the pvp system. it depended on 25% level and 75% player skill. i was a bad mother *shutcho mouth* :D

    Well the only free MMO i can thinkof that requres 95% skill and 5% level is Rakion Online. That is however more like a Action game where u create small games and play like Counter Strike 1 team vs another.

    It is however very fun though and a lvl 1 can beat a lvl 50 if ur good.

    are you korean? I see hyori in your avatar so guessing you are.
    If you dont like grinding, try lineage2 private servers.
    In private server, its all about enchanting and pvping.
    Its keeping me busy until starcraft2

    If u want free mmo with some skill for pvp check out Cabal Online, pvp is really different and gear and lvl are not the most important thing. I could kill someone 20-30 lvls above me by being good at the combo system. Graphics are very nice and i's not one of those cheap asian grinders.
