most of the mmoprgs available today need u to pay a monthly fee.
there is an opensource project that is creating one such game for free.

u can learn more about it at PlaneShift

hm... if it is truly opensource (in that they actually release the source code), I would see lots of cheating lol

for now, I think I'll stick with SWG... eventually I might check out this.

thanks for the info Smile

opensource MMO = dumb idea.

why? Because you open source something so the public can mod it however mods wont be able to be played on the same server as the regular client (and those that are, are considered hacks) so you now have mod servers popping up. Which is dumb for an MMO because the revenue comes from subscription fees (I know not atm cuz it's in beta but still...) so now they can get the client for free, play on a free server, not owned by the company. GG u just lost a shit load of money!

Sorta reminds me of all the shit that happend to RO (JSBN knows what I'm talking about) except RO isn't even open source, it'd be on a worse scale than that.
