Better MMORPG than WoW?

[live4evil]

Yo, WoW gets so ****ing boring after a while.. are there any better MMORPG's out there?

[Amedis]

'Better' is a relative term but here is a list of a few that you may want to try.

Pay to Play

1) World of Warcraft
The best MMORPG yet because WoW mixes the right amount of depth and simplicity better than any other game in the history of the genre.

2) Eve Online
The best sci-fi MMORPG with player-run corporations and a thriving economy.

3) Final Fantasy XI
The second best fantasy MMORPG after WoW with a quality story, great game play, and large subscriber numbers.

4) City of Heroes/City of Villains
Combined, City of Heroes and City of Villains are easily the second best MMORPG for casual gamers. With the addition of the well-balanced villain types and the use of bases, City of Villains completes the potential that fans have been craving for ever since City of Heroes launched. To top it off, hardcore gamers now also have a reason to like CoH/CoV with its ultra-quick PvP.

5) Dark Age of Camelot
One of the best major MMORPG for PvP combat due to its 3 realm system. Also, DAOC has remained one of the steadiest MMORPGs over the years in terms of quality.

6) EverQuest 2
Although it was expected to be a top MMORPG along with WoW, EQ2 has not had anywhere near the impact on the industry as the original EQ much less WoW. In fact, most EQ players have decided to stick with the original rather than change to the flashier version.

7) Dungeons & Dragons Online
Instead of offering all the usual MMO features such as PvP and crafting, this MMORPG instead provides a high quality gaming experience through well-written quests. Improved a little recently by catering more to solo players.

ROSE Online
Former free MMO that is now pay-to-play. Unlike most MMORPGs, players can actually affect the outcome of the game.

9) Saga of Ryzom
Lesser-known MMO with a great story and considerable freedom on how you develop your character.

10) Auto Assault
Recently launched MMO aimed squarely at casual gamers who enjoy loads of action. Could help to broaden the MMO industry beyond the dominant themes of space or swords.

Free MMORPGs

1) Guild Wars
Excellent MMORPG that can be bought in stores, but does not have any monthly fees. Will likely be a leader of the Free MMORPG (no subscription fees) genre for years to come.

2) RuneScape
The EverQuest of Free MMORPGs. Continues to gain popularity with MMORPGers on a budget despite having its share of critics.

3) Supreme Destiny
If you want a free MMO with amazing 3D graphics, this is the game to try.

4) Monster and Me
One of the most customizable MMOs period with several pet options and numerous creative possibilities.

5) Thang Online
3D action MMO with nice graphics that plays similar to Diablo and Guild Wars. In addition, has a great system for monster spawns.

6) Maple Story
One of the few MMOs that looks like a console game. This game has no races but each of MS's 4 classes has their own specially-themed city.

7) Gunz
Innovative game that allows players to live out their action hero fantasies.

Albatross 18
Simply the best free MMO with a sports theme.

9) Furcadia
One of the best online games built on social aspects rather than action.

10) Shadowbane
Former pay-to-play MMORPG that is now free to play. Offers one of the best PvP system of any MMO. Would rank higher, but suffers from uncertainty over its future.

Hope this helps.

ty for posting that list Amedis, but Runescape is P2P, as long as you want full access. Without playing you can only do around a tenth of the stuff.
+1 rep anyway

[Relz]

if you dont like WoW i recommend Gunz, i played it before wow and its REALLY fun. bad thing is theres hackers on it now (they arent that hard to kill unless they have the inf health hack, in that case you push them off a ledge where your supposed to die and they dont ever come back up thus ruining their plans )

[live4evil]

thanks, +rep.. ok that should be long enough

[Tbone]

im surprised guild wars aint up there :P

lol read are you in need of glass's

If anybody says Everquest is better than WoW, I shall stain my hands with your blood....

Before WoW came out, I think DAoC was probably better during the time. Auto Assault is a good time-killer game. Crazy idiots equipping cars with huge guns and crashing and shooting them turning them into piles of molten slag.

[Tenche]

Everquest is better then WoW. :P

[Cush]

Im a really big game jumper and I have been through almost all MMOs out there.
I can honestly say (From my opinion) WoW is the only game that gives you alot of freedom on what you do. Most other games just get boring as hell and hit the back of the cuboard with their fellow boring MMOs

[Relz]

hey guys, i know it probably isnt as good as wow (no pc game iver ever played has been better) but is guildwars a fun game? i have an account but when i got the game i had a computer with only like 264mb ram so it didnt work.

[warriorspwn]

i was thinking to buy City of Villians, (not that City of Heroes is any bad, i just like villians better XD)
Is there anone who plays City of Villians? is it Worth Buying?

[Etaile]

City of Villains is okay in my opinion, but not much different from City of Heroes. Fun game to play for more casual gamers and not nearly as addictive as WoW. I was also an original beta tester for the game and it has greatly improved.

i think Halo 1 for pc was kinda good if you have a kick *** internet connection... but you havt to pay 1 payment of 20$![usd] its not a MMORGP though... runescape is also fun
