Can anyone recommend an mmorpg that doesn't have spiders in it?

I know it sounds silly but I am truly terrified of spiders and I can't play any games with spiders in them.

I downloaded Everquest trial "Escape to Norath" and "Dungeons and Dragons". I can't play either because of the spiders.

I really appreciate the help.

ezzy :)

    Eve, Anarchy Online, Sims Online,Puzzle Pirates, Bang! Howdy, GunZ, Ran,Second Life,Matrix Online Planetside, Auto Assault (there are crab-arachnid things but they dont look like spiders)

    I don't think there are any in Star Wars Galaxies.

    If you hate spiders, stay FAR FAR FAR away from Dungeons and dragons online.
    I think if you avoid fantasy-based MMOs you should be ok.

    You could try Asheron's Call, depending on the extent of your phobia.

    While there are no actual spiders, there is a type of moster called a griever which could be imagined as a four legged spider.

    Don't think the original had them if I remember correctly, but the Shadowland expansion for Anarchy Online not only had spiders, but REALLY FRICKING HUGE spiders. Don't go that way.

    When I played SWG (Pre everything) there were spiders on several planets and they looked like spiders.

    I remember on one of those shows like Montell, they had these arachnophobiacs hold tarantula's essentually and they got them to not freak out over the period of several weeks. maybe you should try to get more comfortable with them?

    I remember playing NWN and wondering "Hmm, this is a fantasy game, where are all the spiders?" then WHAM, a Spider boss, all i was doing was running and screaming "Feck Feck Feck Feck Feck!!!!!"

    Anyway, Nice to see some good games being mentioned. Didnt know they "didnt" have spiders, well, except sci-fi ones. but as mentions, SWG had spiders on a few planets.

    Depends on youre prespective of a spider heh.

    And yes, my vote is EVE, no spiders, just crazy indy junkies!

    I'm truely sorry, but this made me laugh out loud. I honestly feel bad for you that you're arachnophobic to suck an extent that you can't even play videogames. But man, I'd love to see you freak out when you see a digital spider. Sorry again.

    Play a game with tons of giant spiders in it. Confront your fears. You will OVERCOME!

    Stop being so insensitive, (wrong word, probably.) I'm a photophobiac. I know what this is like, feel good you probably don't.

    I'll just echo what the other dudes have said, most sci-fi things. If you like turn based apocalyptic driving, try Dark Wind

    Photophobia is insentivity to light, an actual physical disease. Arachnophobia is a mental 'disorder'. Honestly, they're nothing alike. ;p

    Pretty much any fantasy MMO will have giant spiders. EVE doesn't have any spiders like some people have mentioned, plus I don't think Anarchy Online, WW2 Online, or City of Heros/City of Villans do. Pirates of the Burning Sea shouldn't have any whenever it comes out.

    Thanks to all!

    I am trying Anarchy Online now and it's not bad.

    I know some of you think it's silly but a phobia is not a rational fear and believe me I have tried to talk myself through it but I literally end up having nightmares for days on end. I wish I could just delve in and get over it, maybe someday, but not today.

    thanks again everyone!!!

    loads of em in Star Wars Galaxies I'm afraid... (on dantooine or dathomir I think)

    Go for AutoAssault, Planetside, EVE Online, The Matrix Online, WW2Online...

    not sure if there are any in GuildWars

    just look for sci-fi games. btw in most of the games sites there is a MONSTER window (I say on most) so you can look there becose there are showed what mosters are in game

    If you are so scared of spiders that you can't even look at them in a video game, I suggest getting help. My wife used to be that way about mice, she couldn't even watch them on TV without freaking out. ANyway... over time she got much better by looking at pictures of them. Maybe you should play a game with spiders in it to get yourself used to looking at them. If not, then go to a shrink.

    Yeah, just turn them all into rabbits.  They'll be like, venomous bunnies.  That drop snapped spider legs.  And poison sacs.

    Or you could always just turn them into tyrant devilsaurs.  Those work too.
