CO, Gunz, Soldier Front

MMOs (Massive Multiplayer Online) are really starting to take over with games starting from Everquest, to the very popular World Of Warcraft. The only problem with these games is that they almost all cost money to buy and you find yourself having to pay hefty subscription fees, but don’t let that discourage you. There are a lot of free - that’s right, free - MMOs out there. Now I’m not talking about the ones on Facebook or other social sites. I’m talking about actual online games you can play with other people across the world, absolutely free.


Conquer Online
One such game is Conquer, an Asian-themed RPG similar to Diablo and Titan Quest. In conquer, there are 6 classes to choose from: the archer, taoist, monk/saint, warrior, ninja and the trojan. The archer is what you would expect an archer to be, a long range attacker that wears light armor. They can grow wings to avoid getting attacked. There's the taoist, which is the mage class of the game. They can either become a water taoist, the healer path, or a fire taoist, the damage dealing path. The warrior is the sword and shield class. They can take the most damage out of all the classes. On the other side of the spectrum is the trojan. They don't have as good of armor as warriors do but they make up for it with the damage they put out and they can duel wield weapons. The ninja has the lowest health and defence of all the classes, but they can use poison to weaken their foes before they strike with their katana, which only weapon they can use. The monk/saint is great at buffing themselves and their allies to deal better damage, while still being able to hold their own with martial combat.
When you reach level 120 you are allowed to reincarnate, which is like doing a new game plus. You can select a new class or keep the one you have already chosen. You get to keep all of your gear and skills and are overall much stronger. You are allowed to reincarnate as many times as you want, but you won't recieve any more attribute points after your second rebirth.


Gunz: The Duel
Another one is Gunz, a third person action game, where the whole point of the game is to just beat the other team with guns, grenades and melee weapons. There is more than one way to dodge in this game. Other then strafing and jumping, you can run on walls and dive in all directions. The more you win the more money you will earn, which you can then use to buy better armor and weapons including twin swords, daggers, rifles and rockets to beat your opponent.


Soldier Front

Solder Front is another free game that I found and it's your everyday first person shooter like Call of Duty, but this game has ZOMBIES! That's right. This game has a zombie mode where one of the players is made a zombie and the others have to try and survive for a set time. The longer you last, the more experience you will earn. Whenever a zombie kills another player they are turned in to a zombie themselves. You also earn points that you can spend on different avatars, weapons and looks for your avatar with each  match. Now I haven't played Solder Front for as long as the other two games mentioned above, but it was still a fun game.



You can find Gunz and Solder Front at ijji.com, but they aren't simply limited to those two games, They also have a ton of free games that are available for download and play, for free. You can find conquer at co.91.com. My name is Rob and hope you enjoyed reading my thoughts and reviews on free mmos and some of the games they include.
