There have been a few good skill based MMO's which did you find the most fun to play? poll one

 

 Damn was going to put a second poll asking which game you were looking forward to:

Earthrise, darkfall, fallen earth, mortal online, Spellborn and why?

 

 Edit: Added spellborn I wasnt aware that it had a skill based system.... sorry.

Edit2: When I say skill based I mean skill based through progression, allocating stat points and stuff like that.Not skill based with twitch combat like a FPS.

 

If anyone is into skill based MMO's and have yet to try all these games listed, give them a shot they are quite good and really complex.

I know most of you guys heard of SWG, UO and Eve.

Games like Ryzom which is back by the way is amazing and Wurm while graphically dated is considered a survival simulator sandbox.

Mabinogi is a Great F2p game with an anime style, not really pvp focused but it has a great solo player dungeon system and crafting is nuts.

Runescape just got a graphics update and it looks decent.

Most people seem to be asking for a skill based system lately, well heres a bunch of games you can try.

Forum Poll

Which skill based mmo did you Enjoy the most?

Ultima Online
SWG pre-CU
Eve Online
Ryzom
Mabinogi
Runescape
Wurm Online
Anarchy Online

I'm on the fence on weather GW is skill based or not.

Spellborn for me(as long as it stays p2p)

Really refreshing to play a game that isnt heavy on stats and +100 attack power etc,the skill deck also add's something new and it does away with holy trinity,due for release near the end of the year and 1 I will keep my eye very much on.

You might want to clarify you mean skill vs level based rather than player skill (twitch/strategy) vs character skill (stats/gear/etc) which GW wins hands down.

you just get skills you dont train them put 8 on action bar thats it.

True skill based is through progressing, through advancment in the game and train all kinds of skills you gain more powerfull attacks or other upgrades so you become stronger not through lvls or just buy a skill and click it in your action bar  to activate skill hehe.

I think the most Wanted Skil-based mmo is DarkFall Online.  Now before any trolls say anything about it never coming out or being vaporware (despite the fact the company claims it will be out before the end of the year), it does not change the fact that DarkFall is still the most WANTED skill-based mmo.  I bet even the trolls will be playing it when and if the game gets released and if it has all the features that are promised.

Fanboi is not a word, it is just bad grammar.

I would say that my most wanted are one of either Darkfall or Mortal Online.

The ones I miss the most are UO and pre-CU SWG.
