    Free/Almost Free Online Multiplayer Games
    Hi all,

    Just wondering if anyone could recommend any free/nearly free online multiplayer games. A few friends and I are looking for some good games over the internet. Preferably something other than a MMORPG as you have to devote a lot of time to those in order to keep up with each other. That said, I'd still take MMORPG's as suggestions.

    I sometimes check out demos that have multiplayer. For example "Pariah" is one I'm trying this weekend. Register at FilePlanet to find a bunch of demos.

    The problem you'll run into for free MMORPG is that someone has to run the servers and build the world so it's not likely going to be free.

    Good luck.

    Good ol' RUNESCAPE

    And there's another called Knight Online for download

    Adventure quest is free but not very fun

    I'm actually looking for some myself?

    So diablo 2 is free? I thought you had to buy a CD for it

    Yea need to byut the game itself, but after that playing online is free.
    WIth the game being a few years old now, you can find or about $20 or less.

    Yeah except it's kind of old and no one plays it much anymore.

    I think halo 2 and counterstrike are good but they're not really in this genre

    I just tried subscribing to something called Second Life till it said it needed a credit card number or mobile phone number, and I dropped out.

    Ill check out some of those up there

    Stronghold I checked out that earth2025 thing and it sucks. It's one of those turn based imagination games with no freaking pictures. I played one of those for a day and lost patience with it. You need to get a life if you've been enjoying that for the last 4 years

    Try Gunz. Find it at www.gunzonline.com. Its awesome! If you see me on my name is Saskha (lvl 9). Here's how to play it:

    Go to the webby.
    Click on whatever language you speak.
    Now look for the link that says, "Accounts".
    Click on the join link.
    Type your desired user name + password (Thats just for your login name).
    Now go to the link, "Downloads" and click on it.
    Download the game client.
    The first window that come up is the setup. Just click, "Run" on that one.
    Next one click "save".
    Go to your desktop and look for the icon.
    Tah-dah! Now you have to wait 5-6 hrs for it to load. (Just kidding only like 30 min if you have broadband)

    Have fun.
    P.S Remember to think of a Japanese name. Gunz is a Japanese game.

    If you have an xbox, you may be able to use all of your xbox live 2 month free trial cards. As long as you cancel at about the last day of free service, you can use another one. So far I was able to use 2 and the last one was expired.

    Try http://maidmarion.com/ they have a game called Sherwood that's pretty cool, that's an online only game

    Also try synthetic-reality.com they have a game called well of souls, the graphics are kind of nintendoish, but it's a pretty addictive game once you get into it, you have to download the game, but everythings free, it even has a nice little world editor where you can full on make a whole other game. It will still be in the same genre (rpg) but make your own story lines and stuff. It can be played online with others or also offline just by yourself
