I'm looking for a game that is like Runescape in a way that there are many skills other than fighting such as mining,smithing,woodcutting,cooking,fishing,etc. Also I'm not looking for a sci-fi type game so please don't say Anarchy Online. Any response would be much appreciated.

Ummm Last Chaos has a lot of skills in it but its in closed beta until June 15th. I'm new to it but I love it.

Some of the skills I've noticed so far: Mining, herblorism, crafting/smithing, etc.

Well, you could go and try Wurm Online. People said it almost the same as runescape just that it is 3D. Well Its not IMHO. It got lots of skill from Blacksmithing to fishing to cooking etc. Its more like a fantasy real-life sim ;) Their website really sucks and the game lacks alot of stuff like character animation and the learning curve is freaking hard.

But its worth it ;) since you're able to do almost anything in that game, build your own house(size depends on your carpentery skill), cut/plant tree, harvest fruits depending on season, terraforming, mine caves underground for ore, make your own homestead with guard, or make a village with a few of your friends, trading(still sucks at this point), hunting animal for skins and meat(the mobs in this game dont drop gold coins and equipment) ;), farming stuff either for food or raw material(e.g. cotton - cloth/fishing rod/etc, wheat - bread, wemp - rope for leading animal or making catapult), , raise livestock and make them breed (chicken), tame animal to fight for you, dominate mob, raid other people village, bla bla bla bla almost anything is possible in this game.

So if you dont mind the freaking hard learning curve, and the sucky graphics then this game really worth playing :)

Oooo Last chaos has skills? thats great :D , will it be f2p though? I didn't pay attention to these new releases cuz I was busy playin MS :D .

!! Glavus !!

Wurm Online looks sweet, thanks for telling me about it. I'll start right away!

Don't forget Dofus. Not the greatest game ever but it does require skill :p

How does Ultima Online rank with the above games. I just visited their site, and am curious to find out. I guess it could also be a suggestion for Rayak, as the game says they have 50 skills.

Wait Till June 1st To Play Wurm Online!!!!

Why wait till June 1st for Wurm ? What happens in June ?

Mabinogi. That game has a BUNCH of skills to level up.

Dragonraja

theres uh, hmm, uh, theres EVE, buts it P2P and you dont level up, you just level up your skills lolz. uh Yea WoW has skills to level but nyeh I dont pay for *cough official cough* servers....A lot the games ive played really, dont have many options, but silkroad has a semi unique skill system, and so does auto assault.

Is Mabinogi english? either I'm stupid and cant find english site or its not english :p .

Damn, I've tried a bunch of times, but I couldn't get into EVE online, it just made me wanna go play Freelancer.

Well you just described www.syrnia.com it has everything you want. Check my sig for more info.

Mystixs, just letting you know, more than half your small amount of posts here are advertising this "Syrnia" game. Just throw it in shameless promotion once, and be done with it. Eventually you will get banned for just signing up and advertising.

EDIT:Well, just checked out your 'oh so great' game. Maybe you should realize that Runescape's item icons aren't REALLY all that great before you (or whoever made this game) go stealing them."
