FMMORPG-Free Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game - Free MMORPG and Free MMORPG List!

Guys from Legend of Golden Plume delivered a piece of very interesting news, that is you can sit in the game and gain cash. Does this mean free lunch finally comes to the MMORPGs?

I am sure you are all very excited about the opening of the LGP Item Mall. All these nice dress, wings, gems, wedding packs, etc.  They are costing an arm and a leg!

What about the 3000 Gold that we have given out on August 20, 2008? Have you spent it all, and now you have no Gold left to buy any other items?

Not to worry. Here is a new way you can earn Gold in LGP Online. We will give you 2 Gold Points for every 2 continuous hours that you are in LGP Online.

The following are detailed rules:

1. Each time you log off, our system will compute how long you are online since the last time you log in. And you will earn 2 Gold Points for every 2 hours that you are continuously online.  Residuals will be rounded off, meaning if you are online for 3 hours and 59 minutes, you will still only earn only 2 Gold Points, and if you are continuously online for 4 hours and 1 minute, you will get 4 Gold Points.  You can take out these Gold Points at the Bullion Merchant in Plume city, when you accumulate at least 100 gold.

2. To prevent cheating, we will only allow 3 accounts per IP address to earn Gold in this method. EVeryday (calendar day based on PST), the first 3 accounts at each ip address will earn Gold, and the fourth account will not be able to earn anything.  So let’s do some math: if you have 3 accounts online all the time, you will earn 24 Gold per account per day, 720 Gold per account per month, and  2160 Gold for all 3 accounts in 1 month. This can buy you some nice things in game.  You can invite your friends or family members to be in LGP with you, and ask them to give you their gold hehe.

3. We are not responsible for any "unlucky events" that cause you not to receive the Gold: For example,  you got DCed due to some poor network connection at 1 hour 59 minutes, and did not get the Gold; Or we have to maintain the server that forces you to disconnect at 1 hour and 58 minutes.  This is a free benefit to make you happy, and  we do not wish to turn it into something that creates trouble, dispute or unhappiness.

4.  This is a promotional event and we may make adjustment or terminate this event any time. 

5. You can also buy LGP Gold using real money in the future, but we do not intend to do this anytime soon.  You can also participate in some other events (such as write game reviews, etc) to earn Gold.

Hope everyone have fun with this system, and enjoy the shopping in LGP.

Sounds very interesting. The publisher wants more players spending their time in game so they came up with such an idea. This is definately new to the current MMORPG market. We think more and more companies will copy this method to increase their CCU.

We have just received a piece of news from outspark about their MMOCG game, Project Powder.

Outspark has released exciting new content for its competitive online snowboard racing game, Project Powder, featuring a brand new single player mode, a new race track, and other additions.

Project Powder players looking to improve their snowboarding skills without the embarrassment of defeat can now take to the slopes in a new single player practice mode. Learn all of the secret shortcuts in Race Mode and track down all of those hidden gold coins in Coin Mode to own your friends in your next match.

Boarders can also take on a challenging new course, a mirrored version of Smallpox Part 2, and can race without fear thanks to improvements to Project Powder’s X-Trap anticheat software.

Here are some screenshots of this MMOCG.

VGE has offices in Shanghai and New Haven in the United States. More about the company can be found at http://www.vestgame.com

Tian Long Ba bu, known as Demi-Gods, Semi-Devils, is a very famous kung fu fiction written by Jin Yong. We have introduced some of this same name game in the last year. Since the game is officially released for a long time and it’s very popular in China, we would like to run into details of this game and present this extremely good MMORPG to our readers.

Game Engine

The game is made from a very famous open source 3D engine: OGRE. “OGRE (Object-Oriented Graphics Rendering Engine) is a scene-oriented, flexible 3D engine written in C++ designed to make it easier and more intuitive for developers to produce applications utilizing hardware-accelerated 3D graphics. The class library abstracts all the details of using the underlying system libraries like Direct3D and OpenGL and provides an interface based on world objects and other intuitive classes.” You will find that the game client is very small, only around 600M with so many contents. You can easily change your avatar in games and dye your hairs and clothes. But the developers made the game views to 2.5D so that the game will never make players dizzy.

Computer Specifications

Since it’s a 3D game, but we think most of your PC’s can handle this game. The following are the detailed specifications (not from official website, from our game reviewers. Oh yes, you need to install DirectX 9.0c to run the game.

Characters

You can create up to 3 characters in one account. You can choose to become a male or a female like in most other games. But if you want to delete your characters, you need to find the NPC in game and it will take 3 days to delete your character. Personally I think this is a good protection for those players whose accounts got stolen.

Interface

We hope the following information will be helpful to you if you want to try a game in different language.

Factions

If you have read the famous fiction: Demi-Gods, Semi-Devils, you will know that there are totally 9 factions in the book. According to the book, there are 9 factions in the game as well. I think most of you know about Shaolin Kung Fu. Shaolin is a faction in this game. For more details, you can search wikipedia about the factions of Kung Fu in ancient China. In this game, different factions will grant you different basic attributes of a character. For example, if you joined Shaolin faction, you distribute your points to HP or Attack will grant you more power than those in Xingxiu faction, according to the official introduction(We haven’t practised this yet since limited of time). But it is definately interesting when different people from different factions PK.

If you joined a faction, you can learn faction skills and do faction quests as well.

So much for today. We will bring you some other details in the next posts. If you are interested, please do reply and tell us what do you want to know about this game. We would happy to help you out.

This is our first time to introduce a Free MMORPG news (not made from China) to our site readers. This game is fun and we would like to make a review some time later:) Here we go!

If you are interested, why not give Perfect World a try now?

Since the Game Perfect World and Qworld, Perfect World Ltd. is well known in South Asia. Many USA players would bear the lag and would take the risk to play the PH version. Finally they released the Peferect World International.

Let us take a look at their latest product, an upgraded version of Q-world Online, which is now open beta in mainland China: Kou Dai Xi You, temperilay we name it: Pocket WJ.

Character Sheet

Nothing creative, just like the normal products from Perfect world, there are three races you can choose: Human, God and Devel. In each race, you can choose 6 classes. Different from other games by Perfect World, there will be a pet born with you. You can input your birthday when creating your character.

First Log in

When you first log in the game, if you play Phoenix Dynasty Online, you will have ideas what it is - Five Element System. In this game, designers "borrowed" a lot of concepts from other Chinese MMORPG. The designers also considered the convienence for the newbies and  want the players to read the basic information when logged in. But it’s really hard to find "X" button and I doubt if players will read it since most of us just click the "X" button and continue the training.

Training

We have just completed first couple of levels and training seems to be easy. Just Talk to the NPC who has something on  the top of their head and follow the quest. Since they have GPS system, just click the NPC in green name in quest pannel and you will go to find the guy easily.

But just a few minutes, we feel the game is boring. Quests are just grindy quests like they have in Q-World, Chibi Online etc. We didn’t find anything outside the box. Maybe the only interesting thing is the cute pets.

Graphics and Effects

Since they use the same game engine, the effects are just as awesome as in other perfect world games. You can see the effects from the following screenshots.

Pets

The game company advertised this game as the most cutest 3D pet game. We have noticed that they "borrowed" the eudemons concept from Eudemons Online. You can summon your pet and combine the pet to your character. You can capture all monsters to be your pet, which feature could be found from the game called Legend of Golden Plume.

Pets are divided into 9 factions. Each faction has restrictions and generations. This is fun when PK. You have to know this when you see your enemy’s pet.

Fly

As you know in Perfect World Online, there is a race have special ability and they can float and fly in the sky. In this game, no matter what race you choose, you can have the ability to fly. When you reach Level 10, you are able to accept a quest and then you can fly. The following are the images when you fly.

Conclusion

Pocket Western Journey is just another Perfect World’s combination product. They borrowed a lot of concepts welcomed in Chinese market and impliment them into the game. But as to game play itself, there isn’t any break-through. More and more players are tired such kind of games. If you like pokeman, you should try it when you have a free afternoon and decide whether you are willing to stay or remove it from your hard disk.

We, Fmmorpg.com wish Beijing 2008 Olympics a success!
