I give up! you win Korean Companies! I submit I will never find a Free or low budget mmorpg That is not a total Grind fest in one way or another. You just extend the time required for leveling by making mobs give low exp so players stay longer times in your lame games and are more likely to use your overpriced cash shops. Well I give up I bite the bullet!

 

I need a Game that is free 2 play or at least free 2 try that has decent graphics (Realistic style over cartoon) And a FAST leveling time. Something round guild war's time is fine. I dont care if its a grind fest anymore (Wont find any non grind fests)  A little longer than Guild wars is ok too. But a Game that I can reach max level within a few weeks Would be REALLY good. Cash shop or whatever I dont care anymore Just something where I can level fast and has at least a half decent end game and community.

    that game doesn't exist.  if it does let me know cause I want to play it too.  so sick of games wanting you to waste so much time.

    congrats on contradicting yourself. you realise a grind fest = high max level and low level up rate, not guild wars / WoW style.

    HAHAHAH, playing a game is wasting time!   Why such a need for a rush to the cap where most times there is little to do, or just raid for sets of gear....so lame and so very boring!

     

    Even if I only got 1xp a kill and needed 1mil xp a lvl, I'd rather grind it out then sit at the cap with nothing to do!

    obviously games are a waste of time so I'm lookin for one that doesn't waste SO MUCH time.  there it's capitalized for you lol...  it was in my original sentence but you missed my point.

     

    OP wants a fun end game with little time wasted getting there.  sound reasonable to me.

    Dont know any game that you can become max level within a few weeks, and still isnt a grindfest.

    - But i think you atleast should try the Free-Trial for a game like, LOTRO its for casual play

    Hmm. You might check out Mythos.

    EVE Online is not a lvl-grindfest, it's a money-grindfest. You may try it....

     

    Oh well.... it just has 1 problem. You need 1 month to be able to do something interesting and learn the basic game mechanics.

    You want a free easy game with fast lvl, a good ending and good graphics? Well... quit the mmo world because that not for you. Why company would do such a thing? They want a lots of people playing their game for a long time soi they can make money and this is perfectly normal.

     

    No offence you ask to much here my friend. If you realy want to play a game you will have to cut the apple in half. Play WOW or LOTRO but still this games are quests grind  and you have tp pay.

    If not just play regular rpg or else....

  • Tidwell32Tidwell32 Member UncommonPosts: 36

    there are none out right now (aside from the shooters [which i think are a burden in the MMO world])

    the next few months will introduce some new innovative mmos.

    age of conan comes out in May which i think will revolutionize the MMO industry and just be downright amazing

    darkfall aughta come out later this year... should be worth the wait

    chronicles of spellborn will be decent, wont compete with AOC though

    those are pretty much your options, as of now, there arent any quality mmos out. especially non grinding MMOs. but keep your spirits up, developers have finally realized the downward spiral MMOs are in right now and will turn it around.

    Ok let me get this strait, you want a free game, or relativly free game.  You want to be at level cap quickly, and you hate the grind.  This is an easy answer, you won't like it but it is an easy answer.  QUIT MMORPG's, They are obviously not your cup of tea.  You like to be max level doing quests, but not going anywhere, then the answer for you is QUIT.

    I am not saying quit playing games completely but RPG's/MMORPG's are not your cup of tea, instead go play a game where you start out max level like everyone else.  You have games all over where your max level or the only differances are your gear, these games do exist but they require a bit more skill then MMORPG's and alot better timing.

    My suggestion is simple play games like,

    C&C 3, Warcraft 3, Starcraft, Warcraft, Counter Strike, Day of Defeat...etc

    All these games have great online aspects to them, and there are hundreds more, go play them, and leave the RPG genre to the ones who actually like them.  oh and two questions for you...

    What MMORPG games are you currently playing?

     

    And can I have your stuff?

  • Calintz333Calintz333 Member UncommonPosts: 1,193

    Well I guess you guys are right. Im prob just done with mmorpgs I did FFXI for 3 years and WoW for 3 year's Guild wars for 6 months and Sword of the new world for 3 months. Maxed out on all those games. So I guess I just want to lay back and not really work my butt off to get something in a game where I can interact with people. Any games out there PC or console games that are like Champions of Norrath or Resident Evil Outbreak but with a decent chat system or a lobby ? Pay 2 play or free to play console Any except ps3 and or computer is fine.

    first off, oh wow, this reply page is really, really broken in opera. second off, you should try shadowbane. it's heavily pvp based with a short road to level 75. find the right spots and you'll level up fairly quickly, maybe less than a week when playing 2-3 hours a day i've heard.

    HEHEHEHE

    You will also be stuck in a Bot/Gank fest...

    But really Grind is a necessary mechanic in MMOs. Its what keeps people playing.. Whether its the clearly visible level grind of korean MMOs or the well hidden gear/rep grind in WoW... its there and always will be there in some form of the other.

    How is Hellgate London? It looks like a Beefy RPG/Action kind of game With a little bit of an online dungeon crawler in it. Seems  like its kinda what I am looking for. Not to overwhelming or mmoish but more casual dungeons here and there. Any of you guys ever play it? Know if the leveling is quick or very slow? Also looks a lot like a phantasy star Universe but darker.

    Hellgate is a RPG/Action game disguised as an Action/RPG game (it's clearly visible when you use range weapons)

    Also is heavily instanced and it uses the random dungeons as Diablo 2 did (anyway, all the random places in that game are very similar)

     

    PS: And it isn't a real MMORPG, it's a RPG with multiplayer (like Diablo)

    Well wait for Warhammer online.  Other than that, I love Resident evil outbreak...  Screwing over your friends haha.  I loved playing file 1 and 2.  I use to let all my friends die from zombies and the works, was fun.  I would really like to see Resident Evil Outbreak on the PC, I would use vent haha.  Anyways, just take some time of MMORPG, let your brain refuel, drink some redbull, and enjoy life for right now.  It is true, not a lot of selection at the moment for a decent MMORPG.  I maxed out FFXI and WoW as well.  Both were fun for its time.  It just wore off though after years of the same thing.  Which is normal.  I'm in the same buddy.  Add me up army.josh@hotmail.com

    Whatever game you play or I play we can find others too, the more the merrier for online games.  I also heard Left 4 Dead is suppose to be a game similar to Resident Evil Outbreak but better.  Anyways, I hope I helped...  The choices of MMORPG are in a stall at the moment after WoW, we are waiting for another game to blow it out of the water (Warhammer is my opinion).  Just like how people got bored of EQ and WoW came, well it's time for a game now to take WoW's spot.  Now I might get flamed because a lot of WoWers don't want to admit it, but in the end, a better game will come, just how a lot of EQers back in the day didn't want to admit WoW would take over.  It's a vicious circle but someone has to say it.  I'm not saying WoW and EQ aren't good or don't have a lot of players, but people in general who play MMORPG for the game, for the armor, for the community, for everything, will generally move to another, new, big game after a couple of years.  So lets wait and see what happens.  Bye guys.

    Time to fix this genre.

    And? He asked for a game with fast leveling, and Shadowbane is one. Why mind the bots? They're only bots, they don't do any harm. Also, the 25th of March the game will be reset, so that everybody starts back at level 1, so there won't really be any ganking.

    HEHEHEHE

    Are you under the illusion that the only purpose of every game is to grind your way to the level cap? And you find that entertaining?

    Lol why you give up when i know for sure you have not tried all the games... If you want to go back to grinding and over priced shops you should just join WOW, its monthly fee which makes up for all the cash you will spend in cash shops and its fast power levleing as well...

    If you wanna try something with much more meaning behind it, although slower paced and more catered to community types you can give Sandbox games a try... Some sandbox games have cash shops but least they are not over priced like most grind fest games. If you are interested in actually trying these type games i suggest Wurm online and Eve online. Eve if you want to start right off the bat with a bigger population, i think they have a 14 day free,  if wurm you can play for free no cost at all with a basic account, and if you wish to go further you can just add premium time. But least you can check out the game play for yorself so that you can actually see there are games out there that you dont need to grind grind grind.

    Good luck.

    ...basiclly, every mmo has a grind either way. like perfect world, its a grind game. but, you can just live on quests(like me) they give lots of xp and gold, so if you think that way, its not a grind.(there is a whole lot to do,fly.swim.ect.) so try it out, probably the only good grindfest(or not). google it.

  • JquikJquik Member Posts: 130

    Got the perfect medicine for you.

    Play Lineage II private servers, you can choose how long you want to take to level lol.

    want 5000x exp, 5x exp etc. You can get to max lvl in 1 day if you really want. and Yes F2P. Have at it.
