LFGame with custom class or dual class systems
Hi,i got bored of wow...and i always loved things that let you use your own spells or be different then someone else ...like...you see a guy that is a paladin,and he also is a priest in the same time,and your also a paladin,but your a mage in the same time.
Well the idea is,i want a new game,that lets you customize your battle style.
Games that i played and enjoyed:
WoW
Cabal online
Well...from mmorpgs...that's kinda all that i enjoyed.
I also tried perfect world and lineage 2....but they seemed a bit asian ...well idk how to say,but compared to wow,those games are total shit.
And please don't tell me to play RIFT.It's not even released yet + it will cost about 50$ and i don't have that money...
Also i don't want to play runes of magic,cheap wow clone....also a bad one.
P2p games aren't a problem,i might find private servers or stuff...

You could try Guildwars. It is B2P with no sub. You can probably get the whole pack like this one for

FFXI, although it's a bit dated. It's the pioneer of multiple class systems.
You don't want a F2P game but you don't want to pay $50 for the box?
Good luck with that.

but ,itsnot like wow at all,and wow is not "customize your battle style" game at all
Generation P
Lol Cabal Online has an Asian Developer but you enjoyed it either way
The only only games with custom or dual class systems, that I know of, are Guild Wars, FFXI, the upcoming Rift and Faxion Online
Guild wars seems really different to the games you have enjoyed (WoW and Cabal), but it is really well polish, legally cheap (since you want to go the private server way, and balanced?
FFXI is asian as well
Rift seems like the game you are looking for, similar to WoW, custom classes, better graphics, Rifts, etc
Faxion Online is still in the very first Closed Beta, i'm not sure if I signed a NDA so I can't say much, theres heaps of keys on the site still (not sure if its the same beta as mine, since my one is family and friends beta
ps: I was not that impressed with Faxion, tho stylisticlly very similar to WoW.

Champions Online has a classless system (called "Freeform" in the current f2p version of the game, though available only with Gold subscription), which, along with Cryptic's trademark amazing visual customization, will enable you can dream up and realise virtually any sort of character with a huge variety of combinations of powers (although there are some tried and tested combos of powers that are best for PvP, virtually any combination will be effective in PvE), including mimicking nearly any type of build from any other type of MMO, whether fantasy or superhero. Depends on whether you like the modern-day superhero context and the "flavour" of CO, though (very television Batman-ey, kind of light and humorous, although some of the lore of the game is quite dark). You can try the game out for free with an "AT" (archetype, standard class-baseed types of build progression), see if you like the overall feel of the game, then subscribe to get the Freeform goodness.
Other than that, the system in DDO is extremely flexible and well worth looking into, and you can combine as many different classes as you can be clever enough to combine effectively within the D&D rules. However, there's not nearly as much visual customization possible as with CO. As with CO, though, while a huge chunk of the game is free, you do have to subscribe to get the full benefits of multi-classing flexibility. Also, the MMO itself is nearly all instanced dungeons, and while the dungeons are superb, you don't get much of a feel of a big open world from the game.
I'd say these are the two most flexible build systems available at the moment in MMOs.
I agree with the above that Rift sounds like your game, and ironically I was also going to suggest RoM as well until you said what you said. I actually enjoy RoM's dual class system.
Otherwise I guess I'd have to suggest Dungeons and Dragons Online. Right now I'm playing a Fighter / Ranger / Rogue and having quite a bit of fun with it. Personally I think DDO is a great and very misunderstood game. Very different from WoW. Unfortunately, the starting area in DDO is terribly weak and I think most people never get far enough into the game to see just how unique and complex it can be.
I was pleasantly surprised when I went from Apprentice to full 5 star Elite in under 2 months. I was pleasantly surprised again when I went from Elite to just barely Hardcore in 2 weeks. Apprentice, here I come!
guild wars
If someone is talking in general chat in a language you dont understand, chances are they're not talking to you. So chill out and stop bitching about it!
hmm thank you everyone.
I'm thinking of guild wars,dungeons and dragons and cause of a post,i might reconsider my attitude to RoM,yet i'm not sure.
I'll suggest extreme consideration to play RoM, I played the game for over 1 year, but since the the latter half of last year (CH3), all content was pushed out early, bugged, and broken, classes are greatly unbalanced, like scouts were literally the only class that will be taken for pure dps purposes (unless people are kind enough). There are terrible communications between the GMs and the Devs, i dunno, like some kind of translation problem or something, not mention it is extremely expensive to play endgame, $300 per set of gears every 5 lvls past 55 to do instances.
On the plus side, it has great community and dual class system is rewarding.......at times.....a lot of combos just doesn't work at endgame.

I don't think anyone mentioned it, but Dungeons and Dragons Online has multiclassing up to 3 different classes and is FTP. Almost no two characters are the same in that game, even if they're the same class.

two people above you already did :P
