A game with the scope of Ashersons call but free

I'm a fan of games that are wide open so you can go where you want and do what you want. Asheron's Call had that open world I loved but not the gameplay I enjoyed but still I have considered voyaging into it once again (been gone since a friend passed away who was a huge AC fan ..rip titan) but as money is in short supply and I'm trapped in an apartment with nothing to do  game-wise I have begun to search for a game I can get lost in.

I loved the early days of Ultima Online and Everquest  and currently have a lifetime sub in lotro. I like skill based games more than level based but I know this is something in short supply as far as I know. With such a huge amount of mmo type games out there I thought I would just query this forum for some ideas.

So to sum up:

MMO

Open world in the spirit of Asherson's call

skill based if possible

free to play.  I don't have a problem with online stores to support the game if I grow to love the game enough.

 

Thanks for reading. *salute*

    Sadly, they don't make them anymore f2p or p2p.

    If you're looking for an open world, old-school type of game, Vanguard: SoH is your best bet. It isn't skill based, but it does have the FTP/hybrid payment model.
  • Thanks for the replies. I'm going to have to stick with f2p for now or I would probably go give AC a another visit or possible eve and pay their fees.

    Definitely go with Vanguard then. Here is a link to show what you can access in the game as a free player vs. subscribed player. https://www.vanguardthegame.com/free

    Actually, Eldevin is VERY open and allows you to do your own thing or follow a path.  and it's free...you should check it out.  I played Beta and now it finally released

    For what it seems you are asking for, I would stay away from Vanguard.  It's a themepark with typical progression.

     

    World is gigantic and crafting can be fun, but it's certainly not the other things you seek

    Age Of Wulin is waiting for you, not Age Of Wushu which is run by SnailGames USA. Both the same game but the European version has been converted  far better than the American version.

    A deep rewarding game that spits you out and chews you up very nice way, hard to learn even harder to master but boy it feels good when the penny drops.

    I agree with Vanguard but it's not skilled based but who cares, it has everything else you are asking for.
