    Conquer online. Very popular in north Afirica and middle east. People say it's like the WOW to Egyptians.

    For me, Ragnarok online is the best. It has loads of maps, characters and lots of monsters too. You'll never get bored inside the game. The community is also great! Lots of players that you can interact to.

    In terms of content and polish, it HAS to be World of Warcraft, but if you fancy a free to play adventure, here's a good list:

    10 - Runescape
    A Java-based game, Runescape should be renamed The Graphics that Time Forgot! Yes, this graphics-lite game is slow and dreary, but what it does have is a great story. Lots and lots of it. So, unless you like battling your way through pages of text, this isn’t the game for you. Attention Deficit Disorder suffers should stay well clear!

    9 – Anarchy Online
    The first true sci-fi MMO makes the list. Plagued with server issues and bugs on release, the game has dwindled in popularity over the years, and being free, it’s still a worthy addition to this list with some highly atmospheric locations and a truly innovative random mission generator.

    8 - Dragonica
    Dragonica is a sideways scrolling action adventure that’s one part beat-em up and another part MMO. It’s very cute. Actually, scratch that - it's sickeningly cute! In fact, it's a sheep slaying, teddy bear filled, physics defying, happy go lucky cartoon adventure that's so addictive if bottled, it could induce nausea. It's the red-headed stepchild of Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles meets Hello Kitty Adventures, and the gameplay is pure Tom and Jerry action all the way. Being of Chinese origin, it's bizarre and utterly baffling, but it's great fun.

    7 – Perfect World
    Heralded as “Asia’s best MMO”, Perfect World has haunting music, stunning graphics, and incredible character customisation. But looks aren’t everything. Add the soul-sapping grind (at higher levels) to the mix and this is one game which quickly loses its appeal. The ability to buy powerful items in game with real world currency is cool, but may put some off. Ultimately, it’s just another shallow Asian MMO – one that looks better than the rest. Try it to level 20 and then move on!

    6 – Free Realms
    A Warcraft clone aimed at teen players (without managing to ostracise the adult gamer), Free Realms is bright and colourful and surprisingly easy to get into. The class system is based around jobs, which you can change at any time, allowing you to sample all of the game’s content with just one character. In addition, there are lots of mini games and fun things to do, and Free Realm has a surprising amount of polish for a game that’s ‘free’. You can buy powerful in game items with your real world cash, when you want to lord it over the poor. Free Realms has very cheap subscription costs (but cheap still isn’t free!)

    5 - Atlantica Online
    A turn-based MMO in which you play not one but a whole party of adventurers on your quest to power and glory through this generic fantasy world. Entering combat transforms the game world into an isometric grid where you manipulate your fighters, wizards and henchmen, to victory in battle (instead of hitting the same function keys in repetitive strain injury inducing monotony). Interesting concept, but ultimately, like all Asian MMOs, no matter how pretty or clever it might be, it always devolves into a grind fest in the end.

    4. Dungeon Runners
    Dungeon Runners is a Diablo knockoff (did I say knock-off? I meant loving recreation) turned into a MMO. It’s cute; it’s got a self-deprecating style and it’s perfectly playable. That said, it lacks any of the story, style, or character of the game on which it was based.

    Of all the games on this list, the ‘you need to have a subscription to get the most out of the game’ has never been more evident than in Dungeon Runners. You’re only ten minutes in before you get your first ‘rare’ item which you eagerly try to equip ... before discovering that you must be a paid member to enjoy the privileges of such magic.

    It has enough character to keep you occupied for a rainy afternoon, but there’s neither style nor sufficient substance here to really give you value for money (or, in this case, lack thereof).

    3 – Dungeons & Dragons Online
    Poorly designed, poorly implemented and not at all what the pen and paper enthusiasts wanted, Dungeons & Dragons Online was never more than a random dungeon generator attached to the basic shell of a MMO. Fast forward a couple of years, make the game free, and things change dramatically. Based loosely on 3rd edition Dungeons & Dragons rule set, it’s actually got a lot going for it now with some truly fun quests and many exciting high-level adventures to be had.

    2 – Guild Wars
    It’s not really a MMO, but it does have some detailed and highly immersive PVP. Heavily instanced (which destroys any immersion) Guild Wars’ PvP is far superior to the actual questing portions of the game. You can even create a high level character solely for the purposes of getting straight into the hacking and slashing action.

    1 – Runes of Magic
    Take a well deserved spot at the top of the charts, RoM is basically a lesser version of World of Warcaft. What it lacks in polish it makes up for the fact that it’s free to play (to a point – you have to spend more of your cash if you really want to get ahead in the world). If you’ve grown bored of Warcraft then there’s enough here to rekindle your enthusiasm. Aside from a few cosmetic differences, it’s practically the same game. The account registration system is a real pain, too.

    In Closing
    What you have is arguably the ten best MMOs out there in the virtual world. However, be warned: while a game may seem free to play, there are often hidden costs lurking just under the surface. You really need to be a paying customer to get the best out of these game, whether that’s buying in game currency, paying for a subscription, or simply being able to buy virtual items with real world cash. Every title sets out to compel you to spend your hard earned money on their game. Runescape had a huge bar at the top of the screen saying “Subscribe, for God’s sakes! Our children won’t eat tonight if you don’t pay for membership!”

    Clearly, there’s no such thing as genuinely free, if you want to play these games as they was intended, then you’ll simply have to pay for it.

    Call of duty and dota aren't MMOs - god ppl.

    Also WoW for me too. I've spent 400days w/ it (/played) got several 80s and zillion achievements with all.
    I wonder where would I be if I had spent that time for something useful :D

    WOW. You could have a degree and more in that time...

    Probably several degrees! You'd certainly be well on your way to an excellent education!

    400 days.... thats a lot mate. I hope you was standing 50% of that AFK in a city :). Wow is the best MMO but at some point the fun is over. At that point you start asking your why you play the game and what it will bring you in real life. Most of the time the answer is "nothing".

    Top Ten MMORPGs

    MMORPGs, or Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games are role-playing games in which a number of players play on the same virtual platform. With the annual worldwide revenues for MMORPGs exceeding $1 billion, the impact of the gaming culture on the world over is undisputable. New games are being introduced every year, but there still remain some classic favorites that gaming fanatics can’t get enough of. Here are our picks for the top ten MMORPGs this year:

    1. Empires of glory: Taking the player through a thrilling journey in a fantasy world, the quest for glory evoked by this game makes this a fantastic pick for those with a love for warrior role plays. You can choose between a ‘player vs player’ and ‘player vs environment’ combat depending on the level of socialization you desire. The large number of quests and skills to master in this MMORPG makes it all the more engrossing.

    2. Pocket mafia: Ideal for playing on tablets or mobile devices, Pocket Mafia is at number two on our list with good reason. Right from working out at the gym to running a business, this dynamic game lets you do it all. The constantly changing world of Pocket Mafia makes this game “alive”, “breathing”, and irresistibly addictive.

    3. World of Warcraft: A strong contender for being the most popular MMORPG, this game is set in the whimsical Warcraft universe, set four years after Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne. With over 7 million subscribers, this game has a whole world of fantasy adventures to offer, right from fighting monsters to completing quests.

    4. Star Wars: The Old Republic: The very fact that this MMORPG is based in the Star War universe is enough to explain its unbeatable popularity. Players get to choose between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire, choosing a desired level of morality between a light-dark spectrum.

    5. Dungeons and Dragons: With more than 20 million people having played the game, Dungeons and Dragons is a cult favorite in which a dungeon master conducts and narrates the game, while the players take on the role of inhabitants in a fantasy setting. The inhabitants undergo imaginary adventures through the game, collecting experience points in the process, which make them powerful for future series.

    6. Guild Wars: Winner of the prestigious Best Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game editor’s choice award, this popular game is set in the fantasy world of Tyria. The inclusion of non-player members like henchmen and heroes gives players a wider choice of options to team with. Each player assumes the role of a hero who must save Tyria.

    7. The Lord Of The Rings Online: Based in The Lord of the Rings universe, this game follows a typical MMO format, where the player assumes an avatar and interacts with fellow players and non-player entities to progress through the levels using active skills combining magic and strength.

    8. RuneScape: Holding the record of the world’s largest free MMORPG, RuneScape takes place in the fantasy realm of Gielinor, through which the players travel using a range of options and facing various challenges on the way.

    9. EVE online: EVE online has a science-fiction setting in which players pilot customizable ships through a galaxy containing thousands of star systems connected by stargates. Players can alternate between three different avatars in a single account, and then choose from four different races.

    10. Dofus: Based in “The World Of Twelve”, so named after the 12 gods inhabiting it, the characters are divided into 15 classes, each with an individual set of spells including weapon specialities and resistance to attacks.
