I've heard that cabal is pretty good. I haven't played it myself. Pardus is a good MMO. Its a space game, the graphics suck, but there a large alliances and its fun trading. The combat system is just pressing buttons, but there is always fighting (right now there is a war going on). Think of it as a primitive version of Eve, but everyone is nice instead of cutthroat | ||

It wasn't exactly bad, comboing and fighting was pretty cool, but content-wise it sucked, you couldn't do much after a few weeks playing, and the quests were just ridiculously simple in structure (grind grind grind, go kill 10 of those). The highlight of the game was when you had to clear certain dungeon challenges in a set amount of time, with intense music and shit. | ||

Pretty involving and not simply grindquests, cool bosses and stuff. Personally I've looked around for a good MMO to waste time with, but I haven't found any to my liking. Guild Wars 2 is promising and I'll probably wait for that release. | ||

LOTR is having a second wind with the f2p thing, there are interesting mechanics in it, and you should find people to enjoy the game with. I would say go for it, might grab you. If you are willing to pay a one time fee for the cd-key tho, steam has a crap ton of games, be it single or multiplayer. | ||

I mean, Lord of The Rings probably feels the least grindy, but in reality it takes longer to level. Aion is a total grindfest. Runescape is a grind fest. Cabal, and the rest of the free Korean MMORPGS are all 100% grind, with no other content. Take it from someone thats played pretty much every MMO ever. If you've got that "I wanna play an MMO but I want to have fun" play Diablo 2. I'm not the biggest Diablo fan, but it satisfies that urge to make and level a character, without devoting your life to it. | ||

Then maybe you are searching in the wrong place and MMO isn't your genre. Because in WoW it's pretty easy to grind up to the max level but games like Cabal or Silkroad or Aion...it's hell. | ||

LoL is an MMO but not an RPG in the sense that very little of what you do game to game is carried over... and there is no persistent world. Maplestory isn't that grind if you can find some friends to party with. It used to be crazy grind, but now, it's actually really easy. You do the island quests (which teach you the game mechanics and give you sick new items) until you are level 8/10. Then, you can pretty much quest your way to level 21. Or just hang with some friends at pig beach or training grounds. (probably takes 3-4 hours to get to level 21 if you know what you're doing. So this part is the grindiest). Then when you get to level 21 you just play PQ until 31. It's super fun, if you know how to play. You get cool items and can use stupid emoticons to piss your teammates off. It's all very hilarious. Then you can do the vanilla quests from 31 to 35. This again takes like 3-4 hours if you know what you're doing. Pretty annoying imo. Then 35-51 you can just do CPQ. CPQ is like the funnest shit ever. I often spend 2-3 days making characters just so I can make an awesome CPQ character. CPQ is the most fun part of maplestory period. It's the closest thing you get to PvP, and plays as a team vs. team pro-fest where you launch waves of creeps at your opponents, and can buy all kinds of disables. Omfg I think i'm gonna get back into Maplestory... If only you could CPQ after level 50... T_T I haven't played in like 2 years now, but I remember so many times that heartbreaking feeling you got when you turned level 51 and you were like... "Now what?" Damn, we should start a MapleStory TL guild. | ||

Oh. There's a WoW clone in that forum section, though, that's definitely a MMORPG. It's also free. | ||

I've never had the patience to go past the CPQ stuff, and even up to there it should take up a decent amount of your time especially if you never played it before.

Each time I hit 55ish, my friends and I just all created new characters. If there has been an increase in content for this level range since the last time I played, I would be super excited to start anew. | ||

I'd pretty much agree on Allods if you want a WoW clone with lots of PvP. You'll never get ggnore levels of equipment w/out plunking cash at the end-game though. PvE... well, pretty much every grind-Korean type of MMO does that nicely in spades. | ||

If you are looking for something largely community and team based, I would suggest Runescape. Runescape has highly developed communties and fanbases, and Runescape clans are the most serious clans out of any mmorpg on par with WoW. PvE is garbage, but PvP is really good. It's more team oriented rather than individual skill. If you enjoy fast paced action/fighting games, I suggest Lunia. The only way I can describe Lunia is a fighting game with items and levels. There isn't any sort of ideal build in lunia because it's all about how you control your character. Your character grows stronger as you get better at the game, not as you gain levels and get better gear. If you enjoy the typical MMO style PvP and couldn't care less about leveling and gear and such, you can try out Guild Wars. Guild Wars 2 is coming out soon and it looks promising. | ||

it has instances, with loot based on your scores. scores are counted by combos, the more combos you do, the better the exp multiplier goes. leveling is nothing in that game and its definitely a LOT of fun | ||

Nowadays leveling is way faster with: 1. Random Dungeon finder and cross realm instances. This makes it so you can run dungeons at any level and get good gear 2. Call to Arms BG weekends. You can literally gain 10 levels over a weekend playing BGs and nothing else if it is on CTA. Takes 2 BG win to gain an entire level roughly 3. Heirlooms: +20% xp 4. Patch 4.0.1 gives you a TON of awesome class specific stuff at lvl 10. Disc priest: you get Penance at lvl 10 Shadow priest: you get Mindflay Feral Druid: Mangle Frost mage: water elemental Prot Pally: avenger's shield Demonology lock: Felguard Arms warrior: Mortal Strike All those come at lvl 10 plus a TON of passive bonuses specific to your class. Those are some of the best skills in teh game and it makes leveling WAY better. Do some questing, do some dungeons, gain 10 levels in BGs on weekends, and your to lvl 80 very fast and it was fun rather than grinding quests for months | ||
