MMORPG with Martial Arts

I'm currently looking for a MMORPG, and I was wondering:

Are there any mmorpg with a Martial Artist? Kind of like TKA in SWG or Martial Artist in AO, but in fantasy setting, I'm tired of sci-fi, I don't care if its level based or skill based, but it has to have crafting too, and a free trial is preferrable, but not mandatory.

Thanks for the help in advance.

    Actually there is.

    I beta tested a game long ago called Fung Wan online. I believe it released earlier this year. It is entirely based on martial arts and is likely very inexpensive to play.

    You should check it out.

    ROLEPLAYERS UNITE!!!!!

    Thanks but thats not what I'm looking for, so let me rewrite correctly my question.

    Is there any MMORPG that has a Martial Artist as one of the classes, but isn't the main center of the game, it must need help from other characters to become a better fighter (unlike the TKA from SWG). It doesn't necesarry have to fight weaponless, I would prefer it to be like a ninja style class.

    Thanks for the suggestion anyways, I'll try it out.

    I don't know any games, good ones at least, that have a ninja class with martial arts combat. The only thing that comes slightly close, is the combat in matrix online.

    Well....

    I suppose you could try playing a shade in Anarchy online. Or a martial artist and just dont put all of your points into unarmed.

    Other than that most MMO artial arts classes pretty much stick to hand fighting.

       This does not make sense? According to this post, you want Martial Artist to NOT be able to solo. BTW, in SWG no one is just a TKA. (Teras Kasi Artist for anyone not familiar with SWG terms for professions.) Every single player character can learn 3 1/2 professions. So the TKA in SWG might be a TKA+Pistoleer+Creature Handler, or in addition to his/her TKA skills also know Combat Medic+Rifleman, or Architect+Doctor, and on and on. SWG is the only MMORPG in which a Martial Artist is not stuck to 1 template. The same template as every single other Martial Artist in the entire game.

     

    It doesn't necesarry have to fight weaponless, I would prefer it to be like a ninja style class.

     You have played the 2 best Martial Arts MMORPGs - SWG and AO. AO allows Martial Artists to duel wield any weapon, and has some moves that are unique and intresting. SWG has far more Martial Arts moves, and does not force every single Martial Artist to be exactly like every single other player Martial Artist. Both games allow players to fight weaponless, or with any weapon (guns, swords, polearms, etc...).

     EverQuest has Monks which do Martial Arts. But they are exactly what you claim your looking for - Martial Artists who need other players and other classes/professions in order to succeed and play. Though in EQ Monks are one of the best classes to try and attempt soloing with. They also have the "fake/feign death" move that keeps them alive no matter how uber-level a monster is.

     Very few, to no game designers seem to want to experiment more with Martial Artists. Add hudreds of different moves, have many, many, different types of Martial Arts professions (Even EQ, AO, and SWG all have just 1 type of Martial Artist.). So far it is just SWG, and AO. And maybe EQ, EQ2.
