Looking for a early to mid 2000`s MMOish Dungeon Crawler Game!

I cant remember the name of it, but it was a lot of fun! It had hundreds of thousands of loot and the better the loot, the further into the dungeon you was able to go! It was free to play with a online hub, had very WoW like graphic style, Third person view. Everything about it screamed WoW but was very limited to just dungeon crawling. It had a town hub where you could sell junk gear, buy better gear to fight for better loot. It seemed endless, but I cant remember a whole lot about it. It was a very long time ago, but I would love to eb able to find this and see if its still around or what became of it. I remember I found it when I used to play on the GPotato free to play mmo website. At the time I used to play all their games like FlyFF, but thats basically all I can remember... If someone has any clues to lead me to this game I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you for your time and consideration!

    Def not Fate or Sherwood Dungeon. However it did remind me of Sherwood Dungeon but no open world.

    I probably shouldve described it better... Here additonal info...

    Platform(s): PC

    Genre: Online Free To Play dungeon Crawler

    Estimated year of release: Somewhere between 1998 to 2012.

    Graphics/art style: Wow or even Torchlight 2 type of art style, Cartoonish but not childish, Very bright and colorful, whimsical, cheerful, humorous to some extent.

    Notable characters: Humans for sure. Over exaggerated Male Hero from Medieval Era. Some of the shop keepers couldve been mutants (frogs, bears, etc) but I cant be sure. I dont think you could play as anything else but human

    Notable gameplay mechanics: Dungeon cave crawling looter with MMO style of gameplay, 3D Third Person View - tab/target play with spells and actions on hotbar. TONS of loot to wear, sell or even upgrade in town hub area. It felt never ending. Online with other players in hub town, You could chat with others but I cant remember if there was a party system in place. There were shops in town where you could sell loot, upgrade looted gears or even buy common gears to help you out till you acquired better gear. Tons of gears that could be customized to give you a specific look and make you stand out to some degree. No Open World, there was a small town hub and a portal(s) to go into the dungeons.

    Other details: Its def not Fate or Sherwood Dungeon but it reminded me of Sherwood Dungeon but no open world. Only a small town hub and portal(s) to go into dungeons. If I heard the name or saw a picture of it, it would def click for me... I dont believe the game is still around however, maybe?

    Maybe somebody else can help? This one is to difficult for me to pin down.

    EverQuest?

    Or maybe Dark Age of Camelot. EQ2 possibly. Both were pretty raiding heavy. EQ2 I only played for a minute so don’t remember. EverQuest is up on Steam free though. Pantheon is a new one designed by one of the EQ designers who passed a few years ago, but looks interesting.

    Welcome to the forums! :)

    Those are proper MMORPG's he is after a dungeon crawler where I think you can only meet people in a central hub.

    Some ideas:

    Mythos (2011)

    Eldevin (2009)

    Adventurequest?

    Runescape?

    Tibia?

    DungeonRunners?

    Hellgate London?

    Sacred?

    Silverfall?

    Those are the ones I could come up with.

    What was the game where you played as Humans but if you subbed you could play as a dragon? That MMORPG was around in early 2000s iirc.

    It honestly sounds like you were playing the first Torchlight game; that's all i can really think of based on the descriptions given.

    Wait, nevermind, third person view. ignore me, i'm dumb.  xD

    Horizons now called Horizons: Empires of Istaria :) I will never forget it as it came out Christmas 2003 and I was super sick with some stomach bug and I woke up played it and then went to bed for days as I was so sick. It had a ton of potential and still some of the best crafting ever.

    It takes time, but only rarely have I seen the MMORPG.com guys not come up with the answer to what an old game was. :)

    Yeah, the only time I was truly and utterly gobsmacked was when I found out there had been a Dark Sun MMORPG and it had already closed down. I had never, ever, heard of it. Also made me sad since I love the Dark Sun setting.

    'the only way he could nail it any better is if he used a cross.'

    Kyleran on yours sincerely 


    'But there are many. You can play them entirely solo, and even offline. Also, you are wrong by default.'

    Ikcin in response to yours sincerely debating whether or not single-player offline MMOs exist...



    'This does not apply just to ED but SC or any other game. What they will get is Rebirth/X4, likely prettier but equally underwhelming and pointless. 

    It is incredibly difficult to design some meaningfull leg content that would fit a space ship game - simply because it is not a leg game.

    It is just huge resource waste....'

    I did not realise there had been one myself, I had the idea of using the Dark Sun setting as the world for a Sorcerers campaign. Never started that one though.

    I cannot take the credit. I plugged your comments into AI and listed the suggestions given. :)

    I am glad I answered it for you BUT I may now be responsible for Skynet becoming self-aware.

    When I read the OP I was looking for the Dungeon Runners post. I loved that game. It was so corny, but in a funny Duke Nukem way.

    Which AI do you like to question? I ask CoPilot this stuff all the time.

    I use META as its easily accessible for me. I also asked it one time if it would become self-aware and take over the world. Its response was worrisome. :)

    Ah emerging AI. Since robots use AI programming for their functions, should we be asking all AI if they subscribe to the Three Laws of Robotics?

    I think if we keep the ai figuring out what old games were thinking about well be safe. what if we tell an ai bent on world domination to watch the Terminator movies? will it give up
