Hey, was looking up some new MMORPGs to play and I think I found a couple good ones that I wanted to share with the Gstudio peeps.

1) 4Story - This is the most recent and by far the best free MMO I have played...It's exactly like WoW in everyway =]

2)Anarchy Online - Started to play this a couple of months ago, really fun at first, but got bored and confused at what to do after a while

3)Guild Wars - I know its not really free, but at least its not a pay2play one. Been playing GW for like 4 years, and had an awesome time doing it =P. Special Events and Contests were always well planned out and really fun.

I was also wondering what other MMOs people have been playing. And if any of you play 4Story, my name is Beastlyman <- be sure to friend me =D

Gekkeiju Online: http://gekkeijuonline.com - further proof that lone wolves CAN dev a mmo. Currently in its like 5th incarnation's beta (actually publicly closed until dec 31st since she (yes the designer is also a girl) shut down the old world until she is releasing the new beta publicly. Luckily I have contributed to the game and am fairly well known in the game so I got the closed beta invite. It's also nice because its very tweakable and in order to play (decent) you need to be a little smarter than your typical mmo player. Graphics aren't great but they are getting better. Made with Irrlicht and Raknet.

A female lonewolf coded an MMO? When will you tell us she's also used 3dgs and is 13 years old?

actually i think she's in her 20's but yeah, it just goes to show that if you have dedication you can accomplish some very cool things.

RuneScape FTW!

for anyone that might be interested, the new gekkeiju beta ( http://gekkeijuonline.com ) is open again!

lol, most people don't catch that

also ironically when I posted that it is up, it went down for maintenance for a little bit so it might be a few minutes (lots of small updates since the new beta version just came out)
