A Tale in the Desert III
RATING: 7.6
Retail Price: Free
Monthly Fee: $13.95

Image
Ancient Egypt was a land steeped in history, achievements and wonder; a feral continent capable of turning bleak as quickly as bountiful, fallen as suddenly as fertile. Yet through it all, its robust people have woven a rich tapestry and, with the aid of a staunch belief in their almighty, overseeing gods and pharaoh, they constructed a civilization unlike any other in all antiquity. Relive a time when greatness was born not of weapons and armor, but of productivity and solidarity. Do you have what it takes to rise above the hardships you will face?
Its setting of historically real Ancient Egypt is not the only aspect which makes A Tale in the Desert III unique among MMOGs. It also lacks combat, focusing instead on socioeconomics as a path to character advancement. In addition, players are able to have a lasting effect on the virtual world; the game reaches an endpoint, after which a new chapter or “Tellingâ€� begins, which shows physical signs of the previous Telling. Players can even make their own rules by creating “lawsâ€� which are voted on by the players and then considered by the Pharaoh (who is in actuality the game’s developer, Andrew Tepper) and the GMs.
As its name suggests, A Tale in the Desert III is currently into its Third Telling and new players must cooperate with one another and make their way through the First and Second Tellings to reach the Third. The entire game, in fact, is designed to strengthen community above all else and the land is constantly changing as a result of community actions, giving the feeling of a living, breathing civilization. Though this tightly knit community numbers only in the thousands, the distinctive style of gameplay attracts many female players and garners a high level of civility and generosity.

In the very distant future, on a very distant and harsh desert world called Rubi-Ka, a war rages between two very different factions. At the heart of this conflict resides an unassuming mineral called a notum found only on Rubi-Ka. Notums became the key component of nanotechnology, their properties used in the development of technologies similar to magic. One faction, the rebellious Clans, grew tired of laboring in the notum mines while the competing faction, Omni-Tek, reaped the rewards of unrestricted control of Rubi-Ka. Thus began a conflict with no foreseeable end. Choose a side and turn the tide of war or remain neutral and chart your own curse of adventure.

Ashen Empires
RATING 7.6
Retail Price: Free
Monthly Fee: $8.95

Image
In recent years, prophecies have hinted that a new era was dawning, a time of change and instability, a time when the ugly balance of the Time of Ash could be lost... for better or for worse.
Sixteen summers ago, in the nation of Krythan, a boy-child of Lotor’s line was born and given the name Lotor. He survived to reach his age of majority and this summer not long ago received the crown of Krythan, taking the royal name of Lotor II.
Not long after, military forces claiming to belong to Talazar began laying waste to towns and cities in the western regions. They claimed not to follow some descendant of the original Talazar, but the corrupted warrior himself, and tales filtering from those distant places say that he is now a demon, a thing of inhuman places and unknowable intent.
Heroes, men and women skilled in fighting, have become more numerous in recent summers, some flocking to the side of Lotor II, some joining the forces of Talazar, others seeking their own way in this increasingly turbulent land.
And you are one of them.
Your skills and courage are enough to make you the master of any little village, the champion of any petty nobleman... but that is not enough. The challenge this new era poses calls to you. You can tip the balance of power â€â€� toward Lotor, toward Talazar, toward some fate no one can predict.
This chance waits before you, but you must act soon.
For such opportunities do not last forever...

The Olthoi, a large insect-like specious, sent in waves of shadowy man-sized machines of death, all but decimating Auberean’s defenseless population. Those few who survived saw no hope for the home they once knew and were ushered through new portals opened by Asheron, unaware of what may lie on the other side…

The game uses a simple point-and-click interface that you can customize and even use to record (like a video) your exploits.

Retail Price: Free
Monthly Fee: Free

Image
After the god Zebus created the mysterious Dragoon Continent, a vast land of great mountains and deserts, and inhabited it with the 8 Great Clans. The land was ruled by the superior clan – the Dragon clan. All of those have been changed after the birth of mighty human king Lutanius. With the help of the Wizard Handrake and 8 courageous warriors, the Dragon lord was defeated at the great Battle of the Autumn Oracle. Wizard Handrake abandoned King Lutanius, because the king destroyed 7 powerful Rune stones without ask his advice. Dragon Lord and Wizard Handrake sought to end the ongoing battle between the Human and Dragon Clans, and decided to use the last Rune Stone to create the ¡°Dragon Anointing¡±. A mystical liquid was formed from the Dragon Anointing Ritual and then used upon Dragon Raja, the ruling baron of the Dragon Clan at that time. Thus did the mighty god Zebus vanish from the new land of Dragoon, which was christened with the name: Bias. Over the years, the battle between Bias and Jaipun has never ended and the two forces are exhausted.

Dungeons & Dragons OnlineImage
RATING 7.3
Retail Price: $44.99
Monthly Fee: $14.99

Image
Dungeons & Dragons Online: Stormreach uses the revised edition of the D&D 3.5 rule-set. Choose to play as a Human, Elf, Dwarf, Halfling, Drow or even Warforged, a living, sentient construct exclusive to Eberron. A party of up to 6 players can brave quests within the walled city or even seek adventures on distant lands. Or take up the challenge of a raid with a part of up to 12 players. Either way, whether exploring indoors or outdoors or deep within a cavernous dungeon, combat is always real-time rather than the tabletop game’s turn-based style.
Unlike most MMORPGs, players of Stormreach gain experience by completing quests. Slaying monsters will usually increase the size of the experience reward, but is not always central to the reward. Quests were intended to be completed only with a party of players, though a change was made in June 2006 allowing some simple, low-reward quests to be accomplished solo by lower level players. A “Dungeon Masterâ€� narrates all quests, giving additional details and information to the players about what they see and hear. One special chain of quests is even DM’d by D&D co-creator, Gary Gygax himself.



EVE OnlineImage
RATING 8.4
Retail Price: $19.95
Monthly Fee: $14.95

Image
EVE Online is a science fiction a MMORPG set in space and is one of the very few MMOGs in which all players exist in a single enormous virtual universe at the same time. Gameplay revolves around players piloting customizable spaceships, of which there are many designs available and each of which is suited to specific tasks (bigger is not always better and faster is not always favorable). Unlike many other MMO’s that grant character advancement through earned experience points, a player’s character in EVE Online “learnsâ€� skills by training a specific skill over time, even when not logged in.
There is much to keep players occupied in EVE Online’s MMP universe including combat, research, mining, manufacturing, piracy, trading, missions and cargo hauling. While NPCs sell low-tech goods, the rest of EVE Online’s economy is player driven. In combat, spaceship builds are just as important as a player’s tactical ability and flexibility. EVE Online features an open PvP system. This means any player can attack any other player anywhere. This system is countered by each solar system possessing a security rating. The higher the security rating, the safer a solar system is for space travelers.



Endless Ages
RATING 7.5
Retail Price: Free
Monthly Fee: Free

Image
Life’s eternal struggle rages across thousands of different worlds as race after race fights for survival. For those that exist on this plane, the last unanswerable question becomes “What will happen after death?â€� Countless deities are worshipped in the hope that the afterlife will be a far kinder place than the one they leave.
Nature is used to describe the endless struggle that rages across the universe where only the strong survive. Time after time the defenseless suffer while the strong and ruthless control the fate of the weak. Each being lives and dies, each finding their place and each wondering what will happen when their candle finally burns out. When it finally happens, very few find themselves correct.
The light at the end of the tunnel leads to a surreal world where the entities gain new bodies, sometimes of races completely unfamiliar to them. With no recognizable guides, each person must find their way again. Yet in this new world, they are given a fresh start. The bodies they gain are fully grown and more capable than those they had in their previous life. The weak in body have become strong while those of weak mind are now capable of advanced thought. Everyone has the same potential in this constantly changing world and anything that is possible can happen when the beings find themselves able to create whatever their dreams desired in life. Speech is no hindrance as universal language has been given to everyone and death simply means a rebirth to this plane.

EverQuest IIImage
RATING 7.9
Retail Price: $24.99
Monthly Fee: $14.99

Image
EverQuest II, like the original EverQuest, is a MMOG focusing heavily on questing and killing creatures for loot and experience points and offering such MMORPG standards as guilds. However, EverQuest II improves substantially on the original. Trade skills are now a much more engaging character archetype. Also, an optional “locked encountersâ€� feature has been added which prevents kill stealing and power leveling as. Sound in EverQuest II wasn‘t overlooked either. Professional actors contributed 130 hours of dialog and a great deal of original music was composed for EverQuest II. “Live Updatesâ€� to EverQuest II have instituted such major changes as additional servers and closed arenas for mutual PvP and dueling.


Face of Mankind
RATING 7.9
Retail Price: Free
Monthly Fee: $12.60

Image
Face of Mankind is a science fiction-themed MMORPG playable in either first or third person and centering on role play, community and a completely player-driven economy. Face of Mankind also bears the distinction of being the first MMOG of its kind to utilize a player-generated mission system. This is handled by highly ranked players who create missions which are then split and handed down through the player hierarchy. The ultimate goal of individual players, however, is to develop their characters (Combatant, Commander, Medic or Trader) to the greatest heights of wealth, power, social status, or a combination thereof.


Final Fantasy XI
RATING 6.5
Retail Price: $19.99
Monthly Fee: $12.95

Image
Despite being called Final Fantasy XI, this MMORPG is unlike previous titles in the series in many ways. Final Fantasy XI can be played in both first and third-person. Also, the player is only able to control one character, but can fully personalize their character. Lastly, Final Fantasy XI’s environment does not switch to a turn-based “battle areaâ€� when an enemy is encountered. Past level ten, this MMOG strongly encourages parties of up to six players and up to three parties can ally to take down especially difficult foes. A monster in Final Fantasy XI becomes “claimedâ€� once a player attacks it, which means only members in that player’s party may attack the monster unless they “call for helpâ€�.

Guild WarsImage
RATING 8.1
Retail Price: $39.95
Monthly Fee: Free

Image
Guild Wars is a Cooperative/Competitive Online Role Playing Game (CORPG) with emphasis on skill selection similar to collectable card games. Many aspects of this game differ from other ORPGs; NPC henchmen are available to assist players during missions, all mission areas are instanced, the level cap is set at only 20 (Experience is still gained past level 20, but skill points then take the place of levels.), players may create a level 20 character from the start for purposes of competitive PvP gameplay, travel to new areas is instantaneous, and skills are interchangeable. Perhaps the biggest difference is the lack of a monthly fee, with the game developers opting instead to release a new stand-alone “campaignâ€� roughly every two years.


Guild Wars FactionsImage
RATING 7.6
Retail Price: $49.99
Monthly Fee: Free

Image
Guild Wars Factions is the first stand-alone chapter, or “campaignâ€�, expanding on Prophecies, the original Guild Wars game. There MMO provides much in the way of new content; a completely new PvE campaign, new gameplay modes for both PvE and PvP (competitive missions, challenge missions and alliance battles), and new skills and armor. Perhaps the best additions, however, are the two professions; the Assassin is a master of both stealth and speed, while the Ritualist makes effective use of bound spirits, weapon spells, and ashes of the dead. Some of the criticisms of Prophecies have also been addressed in Factions.


Guild Wars NightfallImage

Guild Wars Nightfall is the third in a series of stand-alone “campaignsâ€� set in the Guild Wars CORPG universe, following the Guild Wars Prophecies and Guild Wars Factions campaigns, and has been in development since November 2005 with a scheduled release date of October 27, 2006. Little is known about Nightfall, but two major additions have been confirmed. First are the two new professions available beyond the six core professions. They are the Dervish, a sort of holy warrior who wields a scythe, uses many different enhancements and has the ability to temporarily transform into a godly likeness, and the Paragon, a spear throwing support class capable of aiding all nearby allies by shouting and chanting. Second are the customizable heroes which take the place of NPC bot henchmen available in the first two campaigns. Unlike henchmen, customizable heroes level up with the player, follow player instructions, can have their skills and equipment selected by the player and can even be used in Hero vs. Hero PvP.

Owing to repeated killings in the long war, the beautiful MU Continent was no longer itself. It was the very time that MU Continent got wrapped in a whirlpool of blood.
Antonias’ ambition to control MU Continent was so excessive that he was easily deceived by wizard Lemulia and brought Kundun, Devil of Darkness, to life. Seeing that his lovely daughter was torn out by Kundun’s teeth in front of him, Antonias wept tears of blood and repented. Finally, he got killed by Lemulia. However, Antonias’ death had no significance any longer because Kundun has already been revived.
Only the way to keep the tragedy in MU Continent, which was made by wrong desire, is to find 8 sealing stones and then, seal Kundun again with them. Who can make it? Devil of Darkness has already started to take actions to destroy MU Continent. Start now! Only the sword in your hand can keep Kundun.

Tale in the Desert 3, my my, that that stuff still lives on :P

EVE Online seems to be the place to be if you like cut-throat PvP gaming, though it's incredibly time consuming and has an insane learning curve.
If you want to compare it to anything it would be old-skool Ultima Online.
In space though. With spaceships. And lasers.
