There are plenty of websites that show free MMORPG's and ones you have to pay for, so finding a free online game to play isn't hard. But the problem is actually finding a mass mulitplayer online that you can actually get into and that you enjoy playing.

There are so many MMORPG's I've tried to play just to find that they aren't the one for me. Sure, you can look at online reviews and ratings to try and get an idea of how good a game is, but at the end of the day it's all about whether you actually like it. And the only way to do that is to simply download it and give it a try!

To the right we've got some free MMORPG's that I've personally played, and some that I haven't. Maybe one of them will take your fancy and get you hooked straight away.

Possible Warning If you're still in school I would suggest you don't play too many hours, or play online games when you should actually be doing your school work. Personally when I was at school I was completely hooked on a game called The Legend of Mir: The Three Heroes. It's a subscription game, and I really did play it too much. It didn't effect my school work hugely, but I really do feel I could have done better if I didn't play so much. So I really would urge you to take a step back and just look at how much time you're spending on online games, and how much school work you've still got to get through.
