Set in the fantasy world of Atreia, you have to chose between two factions and develop your character. There are four classes in the game, priests, mages, scouts and warriors, each with their own strengths and weaknesses so it is up to you to choose.

In true MMORPG fashion, you begin as a fledging hero and gain experience and abilities by going quests, killing monsters, going up against other warriors and when you are ready, fight a horde of dragons.

What this means is there is a lot of action, and it is accompanied by some pretty cool graphics, which are very smooth, and the sound effects are nothing short of crisp. But its real strength is the sheer size of its world, not to mention the updates and expansions packs that keep appearing. You can literally spend hours in a single zone as it has gigantic fortresses, towns, and landscapes.

The action in Aion is also very intense, spiced up by Korean-style combat, and the levels you can reach, player customization, fine turning of weapons, armor, are vast, much more so than other games.
Finally, the game has a huge fan base, so anytime you enter the game there is a lot of activity going on – the action never stops.

The game is based on Celtic mythology, and you have to battle your way to the top. Fans of hack and slash multiplayer games will appreciate its fast action. This game took a while to develop and was originally known as Mabinogi Heroes. Compared to other anime-styled games from Korea, the graphics of Vindictus are more lifelike.

Players also get to interact with the surroundings extensively. While the emphasis is on action, there are a lot of other details that immerse you in the game. It’s free, but the voice acting is comparable to commercial releases.

You have to go the official website to start the game. You can choose from various characters, each of which has a different fighting style. Those new to the game should try out the prologue. It gives you an idea of what Vindictus is about and what to expect. Characters can be customized. There are a lot of details that players can control, including eye color, eye brow, make up, height, hair color and style etc.

What makes Vindictus stand out from other hack and slash MMORPGs is the degree of interaction with the environment. You can pick objects like pillars and barrels and use them in different ways. You can even grab another player and use them as shield when being attacked. All of these features make Vindictus an immersive game.

==============================

Haven’t gotten enough of MMORPG just yet? Here’s another one you can sink your teeth into. Planeshift is a role playing game that prides itself for providing excellent graphics, great gameplay and completely free for download.

Pretty much, it has everything that an mmorpg has to have and then some. Immerse yourself into a whole new world and lead a life as a Vlian, Dermorian, Clan Hammerwielder or even as Diaboli.

Planeshift is released with a GNU license and absolutely do not contain any hidden costs. Once you enter the game, you are free to pick and customize your own character. The customization is taken into another level compare to regular rpg’s. For instance, you can customize the ancestry, birth date and even the fate of your character. Make friends and also create several enemies as you go on your way.

The entire game comes in 3D, hence, the graphics are nothing to complain about. Scenes and objects are beautifully rendered and pretty much detailed. For a game that is absolutely free,  the graphics is definitely commercial value. On the other hand, sound effects are pretty decent. Although not exactly spectacular, they definitely add a lot of depth into your gameplay.

Another thing with Planeshift that some players might find annoying while others would find liberating is that there are no maps or guides on where to go. Players must explore the town and places themselves. This includes visiting some of the most dangerous places without really knowing. Essentially, players will need to learn the game inside and out if they want to fully master and navigate through it.

Overall, the game is pretty good. As mentioned, the graphics are nothing to complain about but players might get annoyed by the lack of direction once they play the game. Then again, the entire point of playing rpg is to immerse oneself in a whole new world. This includes finding out what it has to offer even if it means figuring it out the hard way.

The graphics are superb, and the sound really makes you feel like you’re in a battlefield. The movement system allows good players to rise above the others. This prevents the game from degenerating into a chaotic free-for-all.

Tribes Ascend has the expected capture the flag (CTF) and deathmatch modes. But you can also take part in 5-versus-5 arena battles. Whatever you choose, the landscapes will draw you in, with its cliffs, hills, and crumbling ruins. Players can go around a level, or you may have to remain at a spot to protect something.

But what makes Tribes Ascend shine is it permits players to use a jetpack uphill or “ski” downhill. For maximum effect, you need to strike a hill at a precise spot. This will provide a great speed rush. You can use these boosts during capture the flag or to dive into the heart of the enemy.

This sounds fun and it is. But you need to practice to be able to shoot targets. Standard FPS shooters will have you firing using crosshairs. In Tribes you have to anticipate your opponent’s movement. This is necessary because your projectiles, although powerful, are slow. You have to shoot ahead of time to where your enemy will go.

When speeding up, you need to strike a balance between becoming a difficult target and gaining speed. All of these elements make Tribes Ascend several levels better than the average FPS.

Being an Indie project created by Radu Privantu, it really crosses all expectations and will surely put a big grin on MMORPG fans’ faces. The game just launched the version 1.8 last year, meaning that the game was in Beta since 2003. That is one huge Beta period folks.

Though in recent times, MMO games have heated up the entire gaming scene, players are still interested in getting a slice of this one, as there are a number of features not available on the newer breed of MMO games, and that is more than a bonus in itself.

Coming to the graphical interface, one of the strongest points in the game, Eternal Lands will leave a player speechless, keeping in mind of the fact, the game has been developed and created way back in 2003. The graphics certainly do not leave you gaping when compared to the recent games, but nevertheless, it does keep one happy.

Players have full control when it comes to selecting their race, gender, and the characters appearance upon start of the game. The races in-game are: Humans, Dwarfs, Elves, Orchans, Gnomes, and Draegoni (dragon people). Aside from the name of the race, nothing physically separates these races from one another. There is a bit of catch here, as players have full-access to only three races initially, the other three races, namely Gnomes, Orchan and Draegoni have to be purchased separately, which is a downside.

In-game skills are very important as they decide the course of the entire gameplay. There are a total of 12 different productive skills which should aid players in their journey. These skills include Harvesting, Engineering, Summoning, Potion-Making, Alchemy, Ranging, Crafting, Tailoring, Manufacturing, Magic, Attack and Defense.

Overall, the game is dated, but still has its own personal touch. Eternal Lands is a game that is strictly for the MMO fans and not the time-killing casual breed of gamer. Being free, it is a definite must try.

Created by Spacetime Studios this developer is marked as one of the top ones on Google Play and MMORPG seems to be their forte. Dark Legends is quite a hit on Google Play by raking in an average rating of 4.6 which is great comapred to the flood of new games by the hour.

To begin the game is packed with enjoyable hack and slash fun, especially during online battles with other players. There is lots of customization available and a huge game to explore. Dark Legends as a game really puts the player in control of a blood-thirsty vampires, on a quest to find the culprit responsible for him/her becoming a vampire.

There is a funny part to the game and that being the vampire in question is a good guy. Yes, you read that right, a good guy. He simply has a bit of a nibble on a human and then sends them on their way with a polite “sorry.” The only mission he needs to accomplish is to find out the main culprit who transformed him into a vampire. Quite interesting I say.

The map integrated within the Dark Legends gameplay is made up of numerous campaigns filled with story-based goings-on and the world map shows a string of missions to complete, and the player needs to spend their energy points on wrapping these up one by one (gaining and earning energy points is not a very simple task).

The visuals on this game are a bit of a let down as Spacetime Studios has really not done much to enhance the graphics and certain elements still look outdated from the time of Pocket Legends. Overlooking this, the game has a fun element to it and therefore will keep MMORPG fans smiling for quite some time.

Gameplay is far from easy, and offers a host of features that impacts the entire story in the long run. Graphics are at its best with highly-detailed environments, characters, nemesis, and the likes.

Adding a load to the realistic touch is the very well thought weather and season changes. Seasons include winter, spring, fall and summer, while weather effects include winds, rain and snow. Ryzom enthusiasts will also find the “Sandbox” gameplay more than just helpful, as it offers the player the freedom to, without any restrictions, roam and discover the environment he/she is put into. A fitting farewell to the olden style of being stuck in an environment and follow a predefined path.

Coming to the game now – players are located on a planet called Atys in the year 2525, which is far from the conventional planet you might be thinking about. Its not a circular object, but a tree that can support multiple ecosystems and atmosphere with a plethora of networked branches and roots. Behavior is very realistic and it largely depends on the character class they belong to.

The Saga of Ryzom features four humanoid races, jointly called “Homins”. They include Matis, Tryker, Zorai, and Fyros. Each of these classes have special abilities, strength levels, adaptability factor, special moves, etc. There are two additional classes that interact with the four mentioned above, but share a cold-war with each other. They are magical Kami and Technological Karavan. Its like a Science vs Mythology situation (at least that is what the names tell us).

The newer release offers the players the chance to unlock character abilities until level 125. This was locked in the previous releases. Gamers just need to sign-up for a Ryzom account and get their free trial account, though limitations are a thing of the past now.

Users can download The Saga of Ryzom as a direct media download, BitTorrent, or as a physical DVD or CD package.

Today, the game has been remade with improved graphics as well as gameplay. Nevertheless, it stays true to the classics and ensures plenty of fun times ahead. The best part is that the game is offered absolutely free and works great on a Linux, Mac or Windows system.

In the game, you play the role of a space traveler that’s colonizing a planet. You’ll need to use the planet’s resources to make money and set up your colony.

The new game pretty much retains all of the basics of the old game. It centers on a fictional planet called Irata (Atari spelled backwards) where your goal is to build up your own colony and make it work. The original M.U.L.E is  dubbed as a game exercise in the laws of “supply and demand” and this remake certainly stays true to that.

Up to four players or colonists can play at the same time. Rules are easy to learn even if economics might not be your strongpoint. It’s essential a basic game of who gets to transform or create a thriving colony first.

Among the first things that players must do once they arrive in the planet is to choose their own plot of land. Whoever presses the action button first will get the land. Of course, you have to consider the advantages of your plot land. The plots are divided as Mountains, Plains and Rivers. Each one has its advantages and disadvantages when raising particular crops or items.

Once this is set up, the notion of economics and managing your deficits takes control of the game. Although the rules can be a bit overwhelming at first for any newbie, rest assured, they are easy to learn. In the end, the player that has the most profits after the entire game is declared the winner.

Although it might not be for everyone, Planet M.U.L.E is pretty entertaining. The recreated game is pretty much faithful to the original with just a facelift to show for so it’ll still please those who actually remember the original title back in the day.
