    Default Alternative to WOW?

    Does anyone know a good alternative to WOW? I'm too cheap to pay the 15 bucks monthly so i need an alternative. i want a game with similar game play
    and have different races and classes in the game. I Don't want the game to have monthly pay, but if i can buy it at the store and not have to pay monthly ill buy it. ill accept free games online or games i only have to buy at the store thats it.
    games i hated/got bored of are:
    :3runescape ( pretty good but horrible graphics)
    >hero online( hated it)
    legend of ares ( hated it)
    eternal lands ( it had the classes and races i wanted but didnt have good
    game play)
    Guild Wars( its a good game i just hate that there arn't any races in the game)

    so basically i want a game that is free or you can buy at the store with no p2p. thanks.:3
    JUST READ THE HIGHLIGHTED SENTENCES IF YOUR LAZY. LOL. ALSO CAN YOU GUYS GIME THE SITES? THANKS.

    Honestly... most MMORPGs out there are just plainly shit... i think game developers have lost touch with gamers... or lowered their target audience and neglecting older gamers...

    I think one of their key failiings is an over-emphasis on surface featuers such as graphics and sound and neglecting community and gameplay...

    For something half decent i suggest EVE and CoV/CoH or wait for better ones to be released...

    dude, there is no really good game that is b2p, atleast not online rpg games...servers are really expensive.

    i would say oblivion or gothic 3, both are offline games, but are really awesome.

    An Alternative to WoW?


    Dungeon Runners:
    Graphics as WoW (But slightly better),it's made by NCsoft,It's Diabloish,it's fun,you group with other people,has wicked humour and it's pretty funny,you are busy doing quests,always.And i mean ALWAYS.
    It's free but once the beta finishes,you are able to play for free but if you want to use gold or purple weapons,you need "Membership" which costs 5€ or 5$.
    It's currently in Beta phase but i'm sure if you ask someone nicely with a spare account,they'll give you one.

    Here's some of the wicked humour:

    A Algor's parent!
    PS:You can dual weild.I'm dual weilding but you only see my skull mace on this screenie.I'll post a screenie later,where both my weapons show.

    Well I must confess that MS is very attractive. I always think that I should start it again and get to lvl 70 but I cant do it. Not enough things to keep me interested. Hopefully GO will keep up my interest.

    how on earth is maple story the best f2p MMO? around 'hands down'?! does maple story have ... a STORY?, pllot? freedom? good things at all? my opinion is that Rappelz is currently the most quality-full f2p mmo's there is, and yes, Rappelz' graphics surpass those of WoW. i think if you liked WoW, you will like rappelz. Especially team based features, such as the dungeon, the raid bosses, PVP, (above all the skills in this game, good system), Rappelz has very reasonable grind in terms that you don't spend DAYS to get to lv 40 (took me about an hour, perhaps 2 to get from 39 to 40 in the dungeon)

    i'm not planning on saying 'Rappelz pwnz, hands down (touché...)', it's my opinion. Just to say, if you ask me, rappelz is worth the big download (1.7gig)

    Rappelz has the quality and the service is decent. The problem for me is that I get 10-15 fps and even 5-10 in towns on low settings.

    Not all like to play pservers, especially wow cause of the lag, poor community most of the times, like max 100+ players online. Pservers most of the time suck.

    VANGUARD'S BY SONY?*spit* That's for making the PS3 expensive for 13 year old kids.We'll have to work at an illegal McDonalds to afford it now.

    And oh- Final Fantasy XI owns WoW in graphics,gameplay,story,quests,grind and teamplay.Too bad making gil is a tough cookie,stupid gil buyiers...
