Well it all depends on what your looking for.

Me, I am always looking for something that relates to being a true RPG.

Every asian based MMORPG is not even close to that. Only a small thimble(sp?) full of western based MMORPGS can realte to what a real RPG should consist of.

Honestly, the closest MMORPG to being a real Fantasy RPG is Dungeons & Dragons Online: Stormreach.

Here is why:

Character creation:
Gender: yes
Hair: yes
Facial details: yes
Body details: yes
Class choices: yes
Attribute allocation: yes
Skill allocation: yes
Choice of powers: yes
Extras in character development: yes

Combat:
Its not point and click. Its click to swing, aim to shoot.
Your attributes, skills, powers, feats, and gear will determine what you can and cannot do: Swim, pick locks, disarm traps, dodge, roll, sneak, hear, search, spot, cast, fight with various types of weapon, and much much more.

Almost everything you do in this Action based MMORPG relates to the game in one way or another. No asian based MMORPG can come close to this, and no one can prove this wrong.

As for storyline/quests, its like several D&D modules/adventures put together in a single MMORPG.

The other game I would say come in second as the best fantasy based RPG is Lord of The Rings online.

Isn't Dungeons and Dragons P2P?


This is "Free MMORPGS"-forum.

i dont think i;ve ever seen ess posting about something else then PW untill now .. xD lol

[MotherB]

Dude, D&D is the ultimate fantasy world

Forgotten Realms <3333

Loved NWN 1 & 2(yet to finish the 2)

You know there is a to buy patch for nwn 2 coming, which is suppose to make it like nwn1! You know how sweet that would be?

(Since Atari messed up nwn 2 pretty much, but hey, they didnt make nwn1 so it is ok, they are putting alot of patches/effort up to make it like nwn1 for their community)

I would not leave my room for another 5 years... xD... I mean..omg... a dream come true.

[TokeABowl]

Hmmm.... i'd go with SWG, BEFORE the lame NGE that ruined the game. Back when the game was actually unique.

Yeah i noticed the patches were trying to do that little by little, tho what i really liked in NWN2 was the 3.5 D&D Edition rules, if i had anyone to play that game with id SO install it again and get hooked to it like a ****** to money.

Already flamed. Lol.
Just forget it. Whoever flamed = Noob.

Lol, I think someone needs to grow a thicker skin.

Nobody even came close to flaming you. They made an extremely valid point; questioning the purpose and agenda of a post/poster is FAR from flaming. You seriously have no ****ing clue what a flame actually is.

[feyte]

Flame = That pretty little flickering hot reddish yellow light thingy that causes you hurt if you touch it? xD

Best fantasy games would have to be the NWN series! (as of up till now)
Oblivion is good, too.

For MMOs, I actually have no idea. All of them seems to be sub-par with good Fantasy RPGs. So I'm not going to pick the best of out a pile of junk.

[Thetake]

Final fantasy 1 threw Infinity. You didn't say MMO . But Ive gotta say this, the Asian MMORPG market does not know how to make a decent RPG.

[fattymac21]

I love DDO. I swear, it's the best MMO I've played.

The only problem is that if you really don't have friends, it can get pretty boring. Me and my friends played the trial once. It was hella fun doing quests.

I'm telling you, DDO is pretty underrated.

[Delamorte]

Phantasy Star online, its fantasy with a PH.

[Cingal]

Why, the final one of course.

DDO isn't in forgotten realms,its in eberon
Forgotten Realms is a TOTALLY diffrent area of the world,along with the dragon lance setting and grey hawk.

Chrono Trigger.
I still play that game time to time. Loved the story and the gameplay and the tech's and how it was layed out was very well thought out for its time. The ability to use 1 skill in a way to attack 3 enemies at once considering how your enemies were positioned in a battle.
But the battles were easily avoidable if you knew what you were doing and just aswell you were able to bypass alot of things if you did the right things.
Which kind of drew back. But in the time and date that the game was released it was a very well thought out and great piece of RPG history in my opinion. I have yet to play another RPG that even brought me 1/2 as much joy as Chrono Trigger did. The game was ahead of its time in my opinion.

Eberron, Forgotten Realms, Dragonlance, and Greyhawk are seperate planets. They are not different regions of a single world.

This was amusing.
