can someone tell me whats a good free mmo to play besides runescape ??

 

Runescape?

 

 

Like there was one

 

 

 

Oh, what was that game... Eve Online? That's free nowadays IIRC

Eve is not free.

 

I thought they removed monthly fee from core version (expansions not included) and it was free for download from their website.

 

At least it was

They have 14 day free trials, but that's it.

 

There is only one version as all expansions have been free.

For Pity's sake, man! Don't do it!

Anarchy Online may be free, if I recall.

Oh yes, that was the game I ment

Last Chaos is also free.

I've tried it. It's kind of boring.. but then again, I liked World of Warcraft so I'm not a hardcore MMORPG gamer.

A lot of korean MMOs are free. They profit by selling you in-game money.

I went through a period of trying a lot of those. Some of them no longer exist anymore, but yeah, they make a lot of them. Some of them aren't too bad, either.

Are they language-neutral or something? How would someone who doesn't understand Corean fare trying to play in the games?

All the ones I downloaded, all game text was in English. Sometimes not very good English, but perfectly understandable. I'd assume they offer different language downloads depending on where/what site you're downloading it from, and/or have seperate servers for different player regions. Not sure tho.

 

In some of them, I think I recall some odd tex chrs. floating around as some players conversed in non-english, but there were plenty of English speakers, as well.

They make an english version with english servers often maintained by an english speaking company.

 

But the game originated and was developed in Korea. Same way WoW went to Korea, but in reverse.

Guildewars.

Guildewars.

 

Given the Runescape mention, I figured he meant a completely free game. GW still has an initial cost.

Besides paying for the game in the store or online?

Yes, that's what I refered to as initial cost. Runescape is completely free, although I believe you can pay for certain premium services. I'm not too sure, it's mostly only my Middle School students who I've known to play the game.

 

That and Maple Story.

Kia Online and Gunz.

 

Both in beta, both free and actually worthwhile.

I guess English-speakers can't talk to Coreans, then, unless they speak the same language. An isolated group in a separate game.

Koreans.

Coreans.

Koreans

The Japanese, when they occupied the peninsula, banned the aboriginal language and even changed the spelling of the country. It is traditionally spelt Corea.
