Game with depth and freedom

Hi all,

Im toying with the idea of a MMORPG game... i played the early SWG for a quite some time and really enjoyed it, about 2 years ago i gave it another shot but it seemed that all the community had gone and the game was basically a stinking dog poop of its former self.

 

So i kind of gave up on MMO as nothing looked appealing....

 

Now i know that Elite 4 is apparantley in dev and being an uber fanboy of that im excited but its years off.

Does anyone have anything suggestions of something good?

Is a SWG remake likely....i have a distaste for SOE they give the impression of a very greedy firm so id like to give another publisher a whirl.

I really liked the depth of the crafting and economy in SWG as well as the free roaming nature of it all...

 

any help appreciated

    if you're a big SWG fan try out The saga of Ryzom.

    Sandbox, skillbased, free roam, deep crafting, world pvp, item decay, faction warfare and player created campaigns.

    www.ryzom.com/en/

     

    The game is free atm so hurry and try it out.

    PLaying: EvE, Ryzom

    that looks like a good suggestion cheers...

     

    whats your opinion of EVE?

     

    and im tempted by Faction v Faction....always frustrated me why SOE never did anything major with SWG....

    Eve is a great game only made better by faction warfare.

    Eve is probably the most complex MMO on the market which turns alot of people off.

    I would of suggested Eve also since it's probably the best sandbox out today.

    Seeing as your a swg vet Ryzom would probably be a better fit a bunch of SWg vets migrated to the game and it's similar in a lot of ways.

     

    Eve has a three week trial through steam and ryzom is free for a little while longer I suggest you try both games since they are certainly the two best Sandbox games on the market right now.

    OH the pvp in both games is a bit different, in Ryzom when you die you are delt a XP penalty that needs to be worked off and your gears durability lowers (item decay)

    In eve if you die you lose your ship and if you didn't register a clone your skill points as well.

    Eve is a bit more hardcore pvp wise than ryzom if you like that type of thing.

    PLaying: EvE, Ryzom

    EVE is pretty much the only free game left, until Darkfall anyway. Wait for that one.

    Darkfall Travelogues!

    Eve online has a free trial (14 days) although if you can make enough isk (in game money) you can buy time codes with it which makes the game kinda free :)
