Non-RPG MMO's

[Jaged]

Do any non-RPG MMO games exist besides planetside? I love MMO's but I hate RPG's. As far as I know, PS is the only MMO out there that is not an RPG. That can't be true, though. Is it? If it is are there any MMORPG's that someone who traditionaly hates RPG's might enjoy?

Only one besides Planetside I can think of is WW2Online.

Well that game sucks from what I have heard.

Well the whole point on an MMO is that it's presistant, which is only really useful in RPGs. And there isnt much point in having an MMO that isnt presistant.

If you really want something to throw $20/month at for lack of better investment, I'd suggest trying out WW2 online. But, there is a trick for that game. Buy about 6 of the $3 bargain bin copies, and just make a new account and get the 30 days free.

Unless of course what you really meant was that you didnt like point click, non-interactive combat systems. If thats the case, I recommend checking out neocron. A great MMOFPSRPG set in a post-apocalyptic future.

they need to bring back WWIIO free trials. its improved alot over the past year or so and Ill never know if I should try it or not.

WWII Online had some issues back in the day (planes dive bombing infantry, then flying through the ground to emerge unharmed several dozen feet away).

I'd love to try it again, though... Neocron is an RPG at heart, but a pretty good break from the standard RPG system.

If you have the patience, Aces High (or Aces High II, coming out soon) is a Massively Multiplayer Online War Simulator. I still play it to this day. Learning curve on the game is VERY high though.

I remember seeing a post here with some game that takes place in either the 23rd century or the year 3000. I think Vicchio posted it.

JumpGate MMOSFS (Space Flight Simulator) getting old but a good game. or you might wanna check out Vendetta a up to date verison of JumpGate that still in beta. I don't have the link to the vendetta site but here is JumpGate's www.jossh.com Only problem is it has a high learning curve due to newtonian(SP?) physics. in otherwords say your in a cargo hauler the heavier the cargo the more sluggish your turning your acceleration and deceleration are.


EDIT: They numbers are extremely low now due to the very little advertisement they get. but with E&B shutting down alot of players are heading to the game.

If you want a Planetside like experience, try Joint Ops 150 People servers also they are planning to expand and have already safely tested 250 people per server.

There was going to be a game called Soverign. It was going to be like Command and Conquer only on a global scale.

They would have worlds anywhere from the size of earth to 100 times as big. The number of nations (and therefore players) you could have on a planet was huge.

I dunno if it would have qualified as a MM, but the games were supposed to last for weeks/months.

Sadly, SOE decided to drop it.

I haven't mined in a month...wanna know why? Because Eve has more depth than just mining...

But you gotta play for more than 5 minutes...
