Playing WoW essentially ruined every free MMORPG for me, the quality just isn't there in them, and i'm sure a lot of other people are the same way.

I started playing Runes of Magic the other day, and it is practically a clone; the user interface, hotkeys, and style in a lot of ways resemble Warcraft; the difference is it is free, and has a lot of features which WoW actually lacks, rather than the other way around. (Player Housing, Less Cartoony, Broader Crafting, Dual Classes..)

I'm buying RoM stuff, and looking for players, possibly for a guild or some other function; who here plays and where / what?

There is a Torrent file with the client out there, it'll still take time to update once you run it but it will DL a lot faster than the website DL's which are from other countries or require registration

Similar in mechanics and gameplay, you'll learn it very quickly, the hotkeys are mostly the same and you can set the other ones back to what its like in WoW (the game had A and D strafe left and right, I switched them to turn instead like normal).

The features however make things different; customizable player housing, dual class system (you basically get to be two different classes, and can switch between them, while sharing some of the skills, so a Scout with Rogue as the 2nd class gets to have Dual Weild and other rogue skills, and can switch to a Rogue with a Scout 2nd class, which gets bow skills and the likes). Lots of combos with that.

The profession system takes a while to grind but there are lots of materials available. The nice thing is you can have every profession, but it is balanced by only letting you advance in a certain number of them. All can be leveled up to 20, which is the first tier, then 6 can be leveled up to the 2nd tier max, then 3 of them can be leveled to the 3rd tier max, then you can master one of them I believe. Mounts can be rented, so you can have one at level one, and when you start the game you get a 24 hour duration mount which is nice for the beginning.

Give it a shot; look for the bittorrent file to DL it fastest, or register for one of the DL sites; the no register sites I tried were all pretty slow to DL and it is a large file. I used the torrent, but I would assume a free register site would be faster than the non register ones; the Torrent just isn't offically offered, but it is legal of course as it is freeware and you can find it on any search site.

The only different between this and WoW, is this has grinding. After you get higher you have to start grinding. Or do daily quests, which are basically grinding for extra experience. In WoW there are quests the whole way to the end. Anyway, if you don't mind the bit of grind, this game tops WoW with ease.

R/S - Huge damage
K/W - Pure tank
K/P - Solo tank
W/K - Damage tank (some decent stun too)
W/R - Huge damage, decent tank (not as much damage as R/S)
P/W - Monk
P/K - Best healer
