OK i know this has been mentioned before but i need some help i want a mmo with 1.lots of people 2.no cute little characters 3.not perfect world or wow
Try runes of magic it looks great and is free. But i'm sorry to inform you this is the wrong section.
you can also try Archlord. I didnt play since a longer time, but I had a nice time with this. http://archlord.webzen.net/ The only reason I didnt play even longer is, because I prefer WoW.
Ragnarok online? not everything's cute depending on how you look at it. WoE (war of emperium) is mad good and addicting part of ragnarok online. i used to play ro for so many hours straight but i retired since it took too much time off my hands.
SMT Imagine servers are crap, I like the game but, good game spoiled by cheap ass delivery. Have a crack at dungeons and dragons online http://www.ddo.com/ servers are the best in the business and the combat system actually has you moving around and hitting things rather than clicking a button. Think Neverwinter Nights only in proper 3D. Any game that WoW beats must be crap by definition, Shin megami Tensi imagine (megaten) is better than WOW but is still lackluster and has no real tech support by Aeria games.
If you think so, I just like the style of WoW. Thats a personal statement and dont effect the quality of Archlord. I dont recommend this game because its the only one I know, I tried out many free mmorpgs and this one is the best in my oppinion.
