I think runescape is the best free online rpg out there… but its still a piece of crap.

if u like runescape then u should try sacred gold — its not free, u have to order it online(because most game stores dont have it in stock). its not a mmorpg but it can be multiplier(if u have friends that have it, which sucks cuz they have too buy it too). but its a great game, waaay better than runescape, and its cheap(like 20 bucks, but if u add shipping and handling its like 25).

I’m starting to grow bored of RuneScape and I wanna know if there’s an online game like RuneScape…I want a game that:
-You don’t need to download
-No money involved
-And almost like RuneScape, except better.
Last Chaos - A stunning free game like Runescape

For those of you looking for a game with a player base equally as large as Runescape with better graphics and interface, check out Last Chaos. Players partake in an endless battle on the continent of “Iris.” You embark on quests and level up just like Runescape. However, it will require a broadband connection, and a somewhat up to date computer. The best part about this game is that it’s free. With a player base over 2 million, the game is definitely worth a look.
Featured Game - Conquer Online

Conquer Online is up there in popularity with Runescape. Best of all, it is free forever. The player base easily surpasses the million mark, and they have great PVP combat. There are four basic classes, the warrior, the trojan, the fire taoist, and the archer. Not many games like Runescape offer the qualities of Runescape, for free. The game can be run on almost any computer, however you do have to download a big client, which is not that big of a deal considering almost everybody uses broadband anyway. If you are looking for a great game like Runescape, I highly suggest getting signed up and checking it out for yourself.

Planeshift - Free For Life

I LOVE the concept of this game. Unlike most game developers, the Planeshift team intends on keeping this game free. I’ve been watching this game develop alongside Runescape for a long time and it has come a long way. The game is nowhere near complete, but the game creators have all the intention to make this a game with many features like Runescape. Eventually player houses, a very nice combat system (with a much better magic system that Runescape) and a full scale economy will be developed. The great thing about joining a developing game is being able to master the game before the mainstream gamer crowd flocks to it. Of course, you’ll never completely be able to master it since many features are still in development, you can still submit your input on the game, which the developers will take into much more consideration compared to Runescape and other games like Runescape. You get to choose from several races, dwarves, elves, humans, and more. There are several variations within with unique names and features such as Ylians, Dermorians, Clan Stonebreakers, and Klyros. I highly suggest taking a look at this game and keeping an eye on it’s development because it seems very promising.
