MMORPG Video Showcase

The Legend of MIR 2 was the first MMORPG I ever played and the game looks very reminescent of Diablo 2. This game has now been running for over 5 years and in some ways it is still better than some of the more modern efforts. The look is very dated now.

The trailer below is for the follow up to Legend of MIR 2 and is called Legend of MIR 3.

ROSE Online is a game that was full of promises and is still only 50% complete. Unfortunately the original development team quit and is now under new management. Whether the game will ever be completed is yet to be discovered but it is still a very good game in its own right.

Like most other online games it has events, some are even made by the game community (the players) like the Miss ROSE 2007 competition.

Second Life (abbreviated as SL) is an Internet-based virtual world launched in 2003, developed by Linden Research, Inc (commonly referred to as Linden Lab), which came to international attention via mainstream news media in late 2006 and early 2007.[4][5] A downloadable client program called the Second Life Viewer enables its users, called "Residents", to interact with each other through motional avatars, providing an advanced level of a social network service combined with general aspects of a metaverse. Residents can explore, meet other Residents, socialize, participate in individual and group activities, create and trade items (virtual property) and services from one another.

Silver Bells and Golden Spurs is the story of a showdown between two bad guys in the old west. Based on the anonymous cowboy poem of the same name, this movie was filmed in the real-time virtual world of Second Life. All of the characters are real actors, coming together in real-time on the Internet to bring this story to life!

This video is so amazing that I defy anyone who watches it not to try Second Life.

Fly For Fun (Flyff), subtitled Free For Life is a free to play MMORPG much in the style of World of Warcraft and ROSE. This games relies on item mall to fund hosting costs and development. All the items in the item mall can be traded and sold in the game so if you don't want to pay for the game you can still enjoy the game to the full you will just have to work harder in the game to afford the luxuries that can be bought with real life cash.

Unlike previous games in the Warcraft series, World of Warcraft is a MMORPG, not a real-time strategy game. As with other MMORPGs, people control a character avatar within a persistent game world, exploring the landscape, fighting monsters, performing quests, building skills, and interacting with NPCs as well as other players. The game rewards success with money, items, experience and reputation, which in turn allow players to improve their skill and power. Players can level up their characters from level one to level 60, level 70 if they have The Burning Crusade expansion (released on January 16, 2007), or level 80 if they have the yet to be released Wrath of the Lich King expansion.[8] In addition, players may opt to take part in battles against other players of an enemy faction, in PvP battlegrounds or in normal world zones subject to the rules in place on the particular server. Duels can also be fought between members of the same or opposing factions, although these do not provide tangible rewards. Many players also choose to join guilds in order to conduct raids against enemy territories and instances.
