I'd like to identify all the MMOG/MMORPGs with first-person play or combat so I can check them out if they have a free trial.
I have no interest in 3rd-person click-and-watch combat or 3d worlds.
The only ones I know so far are RYL and There and Second Life. Guild Wars has first-person play, but the combat is 3rd-person click-and-watch.
Please list the ones you know.
Thanks in advance.

Are you looking for 1st Person point of view or just shooter controls, reason I ask is I know of games that control like a 1st Person shooter, but are actually set in the 3rd person perspective
I am sure there are more just can't think of them right now
Don't you worry little buddy. You're dealing with a man of honor. However, honor requires a higher percentage of profit
Well almost every game has a first person view you can switch to and stay in for combat. I bet you want FPS style combat though right? Then I'll add:
Neocron
Face of Mankind
Both are less than desirable but out of the two I would most definetly choose Neocron.
And if I may say, Citizen Zero, HA! That game has been in development so long. I've been registered on their forums since December 2000 (yeah, I'm cool). The game has been in development since Neocron was. The original screenshots they had up made it look like a Neocron clone however I think they have revised their plans and engine since then. I'll be amazed when it finally comes out.
roma victor, although not finished, is planned to have twitch based 1st person combat and optional 1st and 3rd person veiws while walking around in the game world. click on the image in my sig to go to their site
CactusmanX, I guess I need to clarify, or maybe we need new terms for the playing perspective. I'm calling it first person if either you're looking out the characters eyes or in the perspective of looking at him from behind and controlling the action in first-person mode. Usually you need the latter since you need to see where his body is and what his arms are doing, what the weapons are hitting, etc., because, of course, you don't have the broad field of view or sense of touch to give you that information, though I'm sure total experiential body suits are not far off
I guess you would call it fps style combat.
It's like in driving games--you can play from the driver's perspective but it's usually better to play from the view behind the car so you can see what the cars position is and what's happening with it, and I would call both perpectives first-person. How about fptte (1st person through the eyes) and fpfb (1st person from behind)?
Third-person is what I call when you're looking on from above and usually clicking on the ground to move your character, and the combat is click-and-watch.
In RYL, for example, you can choose either mode. If I'm solo leveling and feeling lazy, I'll just switch to 3rd person and click the beasts and sit back and drink my coffee and watch the action from above, but most of the time I prefer 1st person from behind where I'm controlling the combat and get right into the action.
Thanks for the tips everyone--I'm going to check all those out. Roma Victor looks like the hot one coming up. I'll keep tabs on this thread in case anyone comes up with any others.
