I'm looking for an RPG that has more focus on Character Creation and Building Buildings than combat. Or one that HAS combat, but a LOT of Trade skills. A la old Star Wars Galaxies style. I looked around, but didnt see much yet. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

ro, trickster

Have you tried runescape? It has a lot of trade skills and you won't be missing much if you don't fight. Also you may want to try EvE online if you like sci-fi space epics. Dreamlords is a RTS where you build and has combat aswell but you may like the stratgy element.

All players start out on a continent covered with forests, lakes and mountains. The players can create buildings, towns and items of the world. Wurm Online features a fully deformable landscape, meaning that trees can be cut and planted, dirt can be moved to create pits and hills, and rock faces can be mined to create underground caverns or tunnels.

Sounds alot like what you want. Don't ask me if it's any good though I could never get it to work lol.

lol, if you wanna build try A tale in the desert :P

Games amazing, but its really not newbie friendly, and New town (the town you begin in, which is all player built) may lag the hell out of you, but fear not you most likely wont lag outside of it.

Wait for the star wars galaxies (LEGAL!) private servers to come out.

lol. I tried Wurm a while back. The people at the start are nothing short of assholes, and some stuff makes you want to bite someone's ear off, but im gonna go back and try it again.

[twelve minutes later...] I have fallen off a cliff, and now i am trapped by stone walls. How do I jump?

[5 minutes later...] i seem to have made it past them stone walls, but now im stuck in these caves with water in them. Theres these two statues down there and they are the perfect height to look like they are giving my character head.

[30 minutes later...] I had a GM come rescue me, and the person who made the mine got banned. This sure is a friendly game...

[4 minutes later...] I found a huge bear, and while i was looking at it, i fell off another cliff, into another mine. I got out of this one, but my legs are broken

[2 minutes later...] A random person named Mattthepale healed me, and i walk at normal speed again.

[Random amount of time later...!] I am wondering why i am still playing this game. I fell off a cliff while carrying everything i could fit in my invintory, and now i cant move.

Man, I don't know why, but I found this post to be slightly humorous and make me want to play Wurm. Bold sentence is my favorite part of the whole post. :)
