After testing SRO with its realistic graphics, I started to feel claustrophobic. I don't know whether it had to do with the realism or the small environment packed with so many players. Its certainly something to check out, and it's been here for quite awhile.

SilkRoad is based on a Chinese trading route that actually happened in history a long long time ago. Players can choose from three different jobs: Merchant, Thief, or Hunter once they reach level 20. It has a great pvp system and lots of items, skills, players, and servers. It has a fantasy theme to it that will keep you dreaming during the day.

Ah the good ol fly for fun...a game I've played so long ago, but still its awesome. I have never had so much fun with this game just flying around like a shooting star with nothing to worry about. I just wish the leveling was that fast. But just the sound of flyff, brings back so much bad memories that I'm trying to forget...like the time some guild leader sent his spies to infiltrate my guild, pretend to be my friend, and steal my guild riches to leave me slamming my keyboard like "the real gangster"...

A popular game known by many for its particular flying system where players can fly to different islands on a broom or board. You start off by being a Vagrant (first class) and later on you get to choose whether you want to be a Mercenary, Magician, Assist, or Acrobat. Depending on what class you choose, you can later on take on the 2nd classes such as Blade, Knight, Elementor, Psykeeper, Billposter, Ringmaster, Jester, or Ranger. With that many classes to choose from, you will have a hard time deciding. It is not like any other MMORPGs out there.

I'm not sure about all this talk that its the "first 3D oriental fantasy MMORPG" because I've played so many before this. However, since it states so on the website, I'm thinking it's true. Kudos for this game because if it wasn't for this game there would only be the typical inspired mmorpgs.

This game is most known for being the first 3D oriental fantasy MMORPG which uses the lineage II game engine. Unlike other MMORPGs that are based on western or european influences, this game portrays the oriental culture through its costumes and storyline of the mythological war between Ha-Nin and Ban-Go. Select from three different jobs: Knight, Archer, and Magician with a unique ancient animal system which allows your character to undergo transformation.

It's a story about maple. Or...not really, but there are thousands, possibly millions of players who spend hundreds of hours on this game and also the other popular game from NXGames, Audition around the globe. The gameplay rocks, but the graphics isn't good or bad. It is a classic game nonetheless.

This is the first 2D side-scrolling mmorpg available to the public. With over 50 million players in all versions across the globe. Fight monsters in real-time like a platform game, and go on various quests to fulfill your needs. Level up and learn new skills like any other typical rpg. Make friends, trade items, play minigames, and chat with other players. Select your class of Warrior, Magician, Bowman, or Thief. From there, you can level up and change to second, third, or fourth (not yet implemented) job advancements.
