You have been chatting here about Anarchy and Guild Wars. Well, I didnīt know them (Iīll check them) but here is the one I like; Planeshift. Anyone knows it?
Planeshift is an RPG 3D online game. I think itīs similar to Everquest and that kind of games (which are usually paying). But PS is free and it is created by users (if you know to make polygons, textures, maps and things like that you can help to develope it. If you donīt, just play and tell what would you change to make it better). Itīs available at least in Windows and Linux and Iīm amazed of the minimal resources that it spends. I play it with Azureus on and the speed goes well. The fact is that the game is still far from being completed. I donīt even know when a game of this kind is supposed to be completely finished. Now thereīs a large city, a temple, an arena, a death realm, sewers, a little forest... and the roleplaying is supposed to be increased with time. You can train all your abilities and earn money not only killing enemies and doing quests, but also mining (which is a very original concept in an rpg). So the posibilities are wide open. Itīs like beta testing but itīs enjoying and Iīm addicted to it. By the way if you try it, my name there is Gonaruj Kereth. Greet me if you find me  Do you know of other rpg games online which are free? Apart from the two mentioned, sure. I would like to know more.

Is Planeshift free? I've seen it before..
Guild Wars isn't free by the way... Anarchy has a very slow connection to the servers... So it's all quite disappointing... How the objective like in Planeshift? I've been trying to look for games that offers strategy and requires high level of thinking objectives.. just like Command & Conquer series... |

Planeshift looks good but... Once you are hooked to an MMORPG you kinda think all games suck compared to it... I admit it looks goos i will give it a try. But i would like a little for feedback before downloading/buying. The graphics look like realtime strategy graphics from Stronge hold 2 kinda... is this true??
If i may quote.... QUOTE Anarchy has a very slow connection to the servers... Sorry not really Anarchy has awsome loading server's/Group selecting plans... I dont know when you played but please elaberate on how you think its laggy or slow. Idea... Mabye you played a while back? Because before anarchy released free account they upgraded server programs. |

Planeshift has some very nice graphics, but the newest release doesnt work on my pc. So, my personal taste goes to R.O.S.E. online, it's very fun cutting into all the monsters, buying new clothes and upgrades, doing quests etc. I hope it will be free forever, but I think it might go commercial soon. (Unsure though)

Yes, Planeshift is free. A subtitle says "Planeshift is and always will be free" and well... I hope so
 But if youīre looking something like Comand and Conquer I donīt think this is your game. Itīs a fantasy RPG you know with humans, elves, dwarves and some other weird races. I donīt know Strong Hold 2, sorry. But, PS is more roleplaying oriented than strategic. |

oooh, the game still is in progress of the making? I remember installing it on my P4 1.7GHz machine with a S3 videocard and being unable to play because my videocard didn't support openGL.....and I downloaded the game with a modem, such a dissapointment
 . Oh well, got a new PC a few weeks later and began playing it and was totally addicted to the game. I even contributed once or twice to the project but my entries got denied :/. Gotta love opensource mmorpg's. Game is based on the crystalspace engine btw, which is opensource too ( www.sourceforge.net )
