Spec me an mmo

stiv121 · 27 Jul 2010 at 17:32

Ive got quite a lot of spare time on my hands so im looking for an mmo or mmorpg.

Ive tryed a month of wow earlier this year and i got to lvl 40 but it want really my thing so i got board and quit

. I also used to play runescape a few years back when i was younger and i loved i got hooked on it for a few years but then all the daft updates put me off and i grew up and moved on.
ant

A few months agow i played a mmo called fallen earth, it had a great concept and it was a great game but lacked the players there wasnt a lot really ( I like games with lots of peope playing).

So now im looking for a good mmo to get into but i like to try before i buy for a week or so, so there has to be a free trial, so what can you guys come up with ?

Eve Online, you can get a 14 day trial through steam

Well some people knock it, but I'm a fan of Warhammer Online...I find pvp centric mmo's more interesting than their pve equivalents and I think that WAR nowadays is a pretty good way to experience a pvp based mmo.

Its got a endless free trial, capped at level 10, again some people here will knock it but links here;

Yes, i love my eye candy, ill still give it a try if the graphics arent that good.

You prefer PvE raiding or PvP killing other players?

Ok...hmm, so going by those requirements I would suggest trying out... (in no particular order)

Aion
Mortal Online
Darkfall
LOTRO
Age of Conan
Warhammer Online
Eve

Should keep you ticking over for a while

maybe it's time to try something different?

Age of Conan might be more up your street, brilliant game in my opinion now they've ironed out a lot of the problems
