Free Games Like Wow?

[Kurisu 0]

NOT RUNESCAPE (I HATE THAT GAME)I am addicted to World of Warcraft, and its using up all my money I don't want to pay all that money a month because I am just a student. I was wondering if there was any cheaper or free alternatives to World of Warcraft? I heard guildwars was pretty good, but I think thats around the same price?

Yes there are.

One friend of mine is playing Perfect World: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/
The game looks very much like World of Warcraft, same ideas... My friend says it even has better graphics.

And it's free.

I myself didn't play it, as I don't like getting addicted with games.
But it's your life to waste

Kurisu, you can play WOW-like games but nothing compares to World of Warcraft and you know that. Why don't you try playing on private servers? You won't have to pay anything to play there. You can find private servers here

http://www.xtremetop100.com/world-of-warcraft
http://www.wowstatus.net/
http://www.gtop100.com/topsites/World-of-Warcraft

Each of those three websites have links to private servers as well as stats and patch requirements. Make sure your WOW client is updated to the supported patch for your desired private server because some servers are up to date with regular Blizzard servers and some are not so it is important to check what patch the server supports before trying to join.

You find a list of top private World of Warcraft servers on this website: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

Yeah. It's possible to play a private server, but I don't recommend it in any way. Because WoW is so big, with the few players on private servers the places are nearly always empty. Also, there will be often problems with server. And, well, it's less fun.. you can think of those other things urself

Well me as one person I like the wow privateservers. There is  suchThingsas gm commands as well. A server that has things like modingLevel to 80 and to adding and spawning things. The server I currentlyPlay on is http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ they have everything from flying to spawning. But just so you know the servers are illigal. I play on the trademark game as well I just wanted to see what a flying mount feels like. If blizzard fines me that is what I will say though, it is the truth.

that's not true. Some private servers have more than 5000 players. And some servers are more fun because you can make money faster and you can level up much faster than the normal WoW. For example: fun servers. I recommend going to http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/. It's a very fun server but it doesn't have as much players as the international servers. But, it's your choice

Florensia, very good graphics take a look into it. It has a ship system and on sea battles also the usual adventure type travel on foot. Bosses of course and entertainment of side quests. =) That mounts up quite well to a nice WoW like game eh?Another would be DOMO (Dream of Mirrors Online), this game is probably the only of its kind. Its a celshaded MMORPG, which makes it quite attractive to the eyes. The battle system is easy enough to understand and there should be a decent amount of players on it.Third, Ragnarok Online, Gravity officially opened a free server so you wont need to go to a private server to have your character. Of course it may have some things different for instance how much exp you lose when you die and spawn areas but generally its the same game just that it WILL take longer to level up. Trust me ;A;/Fourth Ether Saga, the game created by Perfect World designers, really good game and have the cute characters. Pets, Missions and a decent player base you should try it!I'm trying my best not to name any private servers but if you like to look into Lineage2 its a very good game. There is a lot of private servers around that game and the population which most people worry about is normally high in it.

Thankfully I've never played WoW till today - yeah, thankfully! But that doesn't mean I wasn't addicted by similar games. I played a game called "TIbia" for quite some time and it was actually quite fun though it's graphics are outdated. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone as I seriously doubt that it has some virus problems, but it's worth a look, and afterall, the virus could have come from another source I'm not sure.

Tibia is a very old mmorpg. It began in 1995 if I'm not wrong. It's a pity they haven't updated the graphics but maybe that's just because they wanted to keep it free. Check it out if you like:

If you do not like Runescape, or if you are looking for something that mirrors in quality to WOW for FREE, you are going to be looking for a long time. You can try out Lost Chaos and all the Aeeria games, but the replay value isn't there. I'm working on a new site just dedicated to this stuff at http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ ... Check out Aion next week, the open beta is coming out, and if you like that, it's probably worth paying over WoW. Aion already has a big foreign player base. Planeshift has been around for a long time as well but never really emerged.

Runescape is pretty decent in HD but it's lacking a solid PVP model which is why their traffic will probably decline in the next few years. They are too paranoid about real world trading and it's ruining the quality of their game. Oh well. Poor management.

Let me see what i can find:

First, the most "wow" like game, Runes of Magic
http://de.runesofmagic.gameforge.com/news/index

It looks a lot like wow, just better graphics and well i can say the gampley isn't bad either.
1 thing that is special about this game, you get dual class system, so you can take 2 classes on 1 character, lvl both of them to 54(max lvl atm) and your main class will benefit some skills from your general class
Ex: my class was a Rogue and i had another Knight class for my secondary, so like that i had my Rogue skills + def. buff, stamina passive buff and some other skills from a knight. ^^


another game that i should add is:
http://www.talismanonline.com/
Talisman online, so it sounds lame, it looks lame, i start playing just because is lame but for some reason i enjoy it, has a big list of "special" things that some mmo don't have or at least don't look exactly like this, like the animation of the character and is a bit fun to play ^^

last game i'm gonna add is:
https://subagames.com/
metin2, well this game is pretty lame in my opinion but for an old pc or if you only want something new, you should try it ^^

If you want to pay for your game then i suggest either Lineage2 or wait for Aion Online (should come this month ;D) but if you wanna play something free then i suggest Runes of Magic, not the greatest support you can get from a staff team but it is one of the best free mmo's in my opinion.

This game is great. After I quit WoW due to monetary problems, I went to this game out of suggestion from a friend. It took me a little while to get adjusted to the controls. (They're almost the same to WoW, but some are annoying.)

What I wish is that I knew the storyline behind the game as much as I did with WarCraft.

yup Runes of Magic is a great game but it is not comparable to WOW. this game doesn't have any map comparable to wow and number of maps are limited too. but anyway its completely free and its a good game if you are tired of playing WOW. "Perfect World" is a nice alternative too however it is not comparable with wow too but it has some features which i found them making the game more interesting for playing more hours. one of them is light gravity which gives your character the ability to jump very high so you can go up the walls and explore many places. another one is how your character grows and takes it's role, this very close to wow. anyway i haven't found a real alternative for this game yet maybe its time for blizzard to make another WOW with better graphics and more features.
