i need a non generic mmo game. i dont want a bulsey map(start at a big laggey citey in the middle and as you go farther out the monsters are stronger)

welcome to the World of MMo's my friend,your not gonna find one like that.

well unless u count 2d/3d so when u start in town it aint laggy.but ussualy monsters get harder the further u go out. id have to say ultima online since monsters are spreaded and ull still find weak monster along with strong ones everywere.

Buy the 2 cd's for diablo II and I guarentee when your level 89 as an extreme
pawning sorceress with everything and a godly hammerdin that has damage over 18k it'll be Awesome!!! Just can't get over this being my first mmorpg...

AO has a couple different cities and to level up you do these sort of instance quests or you can do like a regular MMO where you go out and attack shit but theres several towns and I never lagged in them.

space cowboy is not a game like all other MMORPG's
... and another one is Rakion... or Rumble Figthters... those are room base games that you can play against other people... meanig NO GRIND! NO MONSTERS! XD

In every mmo, monster are weak when near the first city : because newbies cant fight against lvl 99 monsters *cough*thats how it work :S

Thats pretty much how every game is single player and multi player. Except for Oblivion where monsters lvl with you, but no one likes that.
