Anno Online is a strategy MMO/city simulator set in the Anno universe. Players build their city and manage resources and production with the ultimate goal of becoming the richest city-state in the game world. The medieval setting and the vibrant graphics supplement the experience greatly. Quite far into the game trade routes open up and the task of satisfying the needs of your populace becomes somewhat harder. However, for a city simulator this game doesnt offer a real challenge (as there are no disasters, foreign invasions, etc.) and after about 100 hours or so of playing it the waiting times become too long to bear. On the flip side, however, its pretty good for a casual game and players who just want to see stuff being built will find that Anno Online delivers well, until after theyre already quite tired with the game.

Andromeda 5 is a spaceship action MMO that can be played in the browser. It features a vast array of customizable ships as well as numerous galaxies to explore; players acquire skills that further make their characters unique. More than 200 missions are available, not to mention the quite intensive PvP where players can participate in free-for-all deathmatches and team games as well. Andromeda 5 sports nice graphics and altogether theres a surprising amount of content that will keep you busy for a while. The game does, however, fall flat when you consider that Andromeda falls well within the Eve Online-dominated spectrum of MMOs and when you take into account that the cash shop seems to give paying players a very real edge.

Multiplayer 3D virtual world and 3D chat with excellent graphics. Create your own world or visit other players worlds.

A Mystical Land is a browser-based MMORPG that raises the bar for Facebook RPGs. Choose from four classes and set off to explore the vast game world. The games quests are dynamic, and NPC dialogue is quite funny; however, the real treat is the vast crafting/profession system you can actually play the game without killing any mobs and make a bunch of stuff in the process! Players can also get achievements and rewards for doing them. The games graphics are nice and cartoony, but there can be performance issues in the city. A Mystical Land is admittedly directed towards casual gamers, but the game world is engrossing and vivid enough to offer something for the more serious players, too.

Historical World War II air combat simulation. Highly accurate plane models and multiple detailed arena terrains let you experience battles from the World War 2 air war in a massively multiplayer game world.

Fantastically rich landscapes and highly developed quests in this fantasy role playing game — at least at the earlier levels. Enter the world of Atreia where the Elyos and Asmodian races are battling for territory. Both races are flight-capable and your characters can achieve flight after level ten. There are four starting classes and six intricate crafting professions to choose from. There is a special type of arena called The Abyss where players from both factions can attempt to seize control over strongholds and defend them for more resources using a mix of player-versus-player and player-versus-environment tactics. There are plenty of instances for party assaults and even player-defined macros you can set up to customize your characters combat. Make no mistake. You wont be able to advance without PvP interactions, so if you are looking for a strictly PvE game, this might not be for you. The download is only a free trial, but well worth the time investment if for the visuals and excellent game mechanics alone.

Customize your wizard and battle other wizards in this 2D multiplayer action game.

Post World War 4 massively multiplayer RPG with some real time strategy elements. Pick from eight main classes with a diverse choice in subclasses. The games style is hybrid of fantasy and themepunk design with a generous back story. The Noblian and Floresslah (steampunks and mystics respectively) are at war over control of a mineral called Earthdium to help rebuild their world. What image it should be built in however is a matter of opinion. The strategy mode of the game is called a Unit War using basic real time strategy elements with the addition of the ability for your hero to fight alongside the units you create. Unit Wars offer your character high level items and weapons. Movement is controlled with either the WASD keys or mouse clicks. There are multiple vehicles for each faction that have room for multiple passengers. And if you were curious, yes, you can even engage enemies while aboard the vehicles.

Alliance Warfare (AW) is an MMORTS, played in the browser. It takes place in the medieval Land of Endless War and has players build and expand their kingdom, create armies and strive for world domination. The game is fairly typical as strategy titles go, but the community is vibrant and open. Whats very special about AW is that it has its own radio station with DJs that actively participate in the game by dedicating songs to players and answering questions. Players complete quests, manage their cities resources and form alliances with others. AW offers a quite elaborate research tree with three main branches. The cash shop is quite mundane, offering commonplace buffs and even more commonplace advantages to paying players. Again, the most fun in AW is to be had from the community features and the radio station, which make the game stand out from the plethora of similar MMORTS titles.

Age of Wushu (AoW) is a fighting MMORPG with considerable depth to it. After a tiring two hour tutorial players choose their faction from 8 martial arts schools and try to make sense of what to do next. AoW is heavily inspired by Chinese architecture and culture, featuring vast and beautiful landscapes as well as intricately designed buildings. The fact that the game is thoughtfully developed shows through all the time, starting from the huge (though sometimes confusing) skill system (and the tremendous amounts of iffy translations for each skill). Age of Wushu sports numerous unique features, such as the absence of a leveling system, replaced by skill-based leveling instead. Players characters become NPCs when logged out. You can patrol the streets while offline — or you can get kidnapped as well! RPG fans will be captivated, but regular players can become confused and overwhelmed with AoWs complexity and abundance of options.

This MMORPG is very similar in appearance and operation to WOW with a few enhancements to help immerse you further into the fantasy realm. For instance, learn about the game world at the library from within the game itself.

Enter the medieval world of Erenor, a land of peerless wonder and bountiful resources. Erenor is also a land torn by constant strife and conflict. The western continent of Nuia constantly wages war with the eastern continent of Haranya. While the mortal races waste their time in fighting for supremacy, ancient evils are awakening. Can the peoples of Erenor unite in time to defend their world from the coming onslaught?ArcheAge is a sandpark (a hybrid of sandbox and theme park) MMORPG developed by XL Games and published internationally by Trion Worlds. Featuring a zoneless world with three major continents and traversable seas in between, ArcheAge is a massive game that can be directly shaped by its players.Crafting in ArcheAge is extensive. Players can craft equipment, cook food, build housing and furniture, farm crops, herd animals, and even design seafaring vehicles. The housing system allows players to place their buildings in certain zones as a persistent part of the world. Established guilds can claim vast tracts of land and build castles on them. These castles can be attacked and conquered by opposing guilds during siege events.ArcheAge also boasts a classless system where players train skill sets that give them abilities. There are only ten skill sets available, and each character can only specialize in three at a time. Players can switch between specializations for a cost.Combat in the game is mostly traditional MMORPG fare, with the addition of naval warfare. Players can engage in ship-to-ship combat, sea-to-land skirmish, or even battle sea monsters. The usual PvE options are present in the game. PvP offerings range from the built-in faction warfare to zone and event restricted PvP battles.Summing it up, ArcheAge is a well-refined game with plenty of PvE and PvP content to offer. Aesthetically, the game does not disappoint as well. Its extensive crafting system and persistent sandbox elements are good reasons to play the game. If youre a fan of these game systems, then you should definitely give ArcheAge a spin.

Ancient Summoner is an MMO trading card game with some elements from other genres. Its very similar to Rise of Mythos and Kings and Legends. As such, theres not much to say about combat besides that its welcoming for newcomers but complex enough to keep experienced players happy. Theres also an AI that is great for offline moneymaking but generally will get you nowhere fast. At level 10 four classes Warrior, Ranger, Mage and Priest open up and players start getting skill cards that pertain to their class. Players can build, name and save their custom decks. The game features a nice user interface and the graphics are generally good for a browser-based title. Its true that players can generally grow their card deck without paying, but getting the best cards is pretty hard without investing real money.

3D fantasy role playing game with a heavy focus on player versus player combat (on the way to becoming the supreme Archlord). While graphics, character detail, mounts, and combat animations are fantastic, the game world offers little in the way of player versus environment opportunity. Choose from three races: Human, Orc, and MoonElf with a few classes per race to choose from. Multi-classing is allowed. The most powerful (and perhaps the most popular) Race/Class combination is the MoonElf Elementalist, wielding more robust spells than the other races magic-using counterparts. At release, the game was given some bad reviews but has since evolved their content, graphics, and gameplay through a series of revisions (and of course changed to the free to play model). If you have a hang-up on using click-to-move versus using the WASD keys, no worries: they offer both.

Set in post-apocalyptic Siberia, this sci-fi MMORPG has one of the most in-depth crafting systems available in the genre. You even make your own ammunition. Classic quests for experience using NPCs.

Multiplayer military FPS. Optimize your agent with an assortment of weapons, attachments, armor, helmets and skill upgrades while honing your aiming in-game.

A classic RTS revamped into a classy MMO strategy game. At the beginning, you are given a Greek or Egyptian city that acts more like a MMORPG character than a regular city. There are three skill trees that players use to upgrade the economy, the military and utilities. You also store items within your capital city. To level your city up, you have to complete quests, either with friends or solo. The graphics are nice and cartoony. The quests are diversified, but the beginning of each quest is static all you are given at the beginning of each quest is a city vulgaris a couple of workers and a town hall which you have to settle. The game lacks strategy for beginners, but PvP offers a real challenge, especially if youre up against players who have purchased paid features.

3D fantasy oriental RPG with focus on realistic martial arts. The reputation system is called Karma where your character gathers or loses it based on the outcomes of PVP battle. It is all about the Fu. Develop ordinary and mystical Kung Fu skills to triumph in battle. Start as a vagabond and quest until level twenty-five where you choose from one of six clans. Each clan has its own name for the one of four classes you can pick to specialize in: warrior (tank), healer, nuker (ranged), and hybrid (learn any skill). There are many player versus environment quests however the overall purpose is to build your skills as a Kung Fu warrior.

After the destruction of Earth by an asteroid, warring human factions struggle for resources (specifically Helium3). This is an excellent combination of 3D first person shooter and real time strategy set in outer space. Two teams with dozens of players per side battle it out over the course of an hour or two. The commander builds bases and sets up mining operations, orders bombing runs, and allocates money. Players can switch between ship types on the fly (and even beefier ships if their commander gives them the cash). New players are encouraged to fly scout ships for a few weeks and lay down sensors to spy on enemy movements or keeping other units repaired that are mining or bombing. Good news for new players: they set up servers specifically for new players so they wont get taken advantage of by veterans while learning the ropes.

Available through Steam, the game thrusts players into an epic bug hunt featuring a unique blend of co-op play and squad-level tactics. Watch out for friendly fire.

Battle your way through with up to three other team mates in a top-down view of combat.

Allods Online is a MMORPG game quite similar to World of Warcraft. Choose from six races, two factions The League and The Empire and eight general classes which vary slightly from race to race. The lore is well developed and mixes space/steampunk themes with regular fantasy. Allods has numerous quests that supplement the story. A unique aspect of Allods Online is the astral ship PvP where battles between player-controlled ships commence in the vast astral. Players also can play Goblinoball — something quite like football, but with a live goblin as the ball. Allods Online offers an engrossing, well-developed experience for anyone who likes games akin to WoW, but doesnt want to pay for it.

Aranock Online is a free MMORPG, with a constantly-update world, nice 2D isometric graphics, a friendly atmosphere and a team of admin who care about their game.

An army game made by none other than the US Army. Written with the Unreal 3 game engine with great attention to realism. Basic training serves as both an off-line introduction to the game and a way to gather a few handy upgrades to help get you started. Characters can do more than run and shoot. Vault over obstacles, lean around corners, crawl, roll, and heal up fallen team mates who have been injured in the field. There are few maps to choose from in online play but none of them lack in quality. For each map there are multiple game modes: Capture and hold, VIP (where one team secures a target while another team hunts them), and Extraction (essentially capture the flag). Since release there are still bugs to be worked out in many places but for a free game this is a quality alternative.

One of the most accessible and detailed free-to-play MMORPGs out there. AoC is developed by Funcom, the masterminds behind the boundary breaking Anarchy Online. Amazing graphics even three years after release, a great number of quests (for the later levels, too) and epic lore that stays true to the original Conan books by Robert E. Howard. Four archetype classes priest, soldier, rogue, and mage, each of them having three sub-classes. A unique, hit-direction-based combat system that requires direct involvement from the player. Quest and skill-wise, the game does seem to aspire to be a WoW clone; however, AoC clearly beats WoW in two aspects: the soundtrack and the abundant amount of gore. Loads of PvP and PvE instances, with PvP being a real skills test due to the complex combat system.

Animal Jam is a browser-based kids game developed by National Geographic. Children choose their avatar from 8 different animals and begin their adventures in the world of Jamaa. The game is centered on exploring the vast game world, playing the games numerous mini-games and buying newer, kitschier merchandise for their animal avatar. Kids also often engage in elaborate, creative roleplaying. Parents may wonder about educational content promised in the games ads. Its there, but its not enforced, and kids can very well run around the game world without learning much about animals or geography. The game simply seems like a virtual world where children can learn much about online interactions (which are well-moderated) and trading instead all very valuable skills, but its important that parents shouldnt be deceived about the game being educational. It can be such, but is not necessarily so.

Choose from nine different characters, each with their own benefits and shortcomings. Lots of mods (called mutators) are used to change up the rules — and add a whole lot of fun.
