Hey i was wondering if you guys could point me in the direction of a good medieval times mmorpg.  Probably the most important features to me would the population and  replay value.  I am someon who likes to really get into a game and play a couple of years before moving on. So its important to me to have a stong player buid where you can work together and players actually respond. if you guys could help me out itd be great.

Sorry, the only historical MMOs are 17th century pirate games and WW2 games. Too bad too, I'd love a real historical game myself.

Age of Conan is low fantasy at least (even if it is not as low as Howards original work), maybe you should try it out? It is free but the client is huge and will take long time to download.

Alright yeah i will definetly try it out, its unfortunate that most games seem to be scifi or like you said pirate themed.

While LotRO is based on a high fantasy story, there's actually very little magic in the actual game.  This makes the gameplay seem a lot less 'fantastical than a lot of other MMOs.    The melee classes feel pretty 'gritty', and unless you play a RuneKeeper or LoreMaster character, there's a definite low-tech feel to the basic gameplay.  For the most part, your early levels are spent fighting bandits, bugs, spiders and wolves.  There's not even a lot of undead until you get to the Barrowdowns around 20th level.   The atmospheric festivals have a decidely mideval feel to them, too.

Yes, ultimately, it is fantasy, but it may provide you the mideval feel you're looking for.

Thanks yeah I will give that a try too.  I do not believe there is currently a completely historical game on the market at the moment.  So as far as some supernatural aspects it is okay.   As long as there is a medevil feel, some magic and undead warriors is not that big of a deal.

Gwet Mount and Blade, and then get the cRpg mod, it makes it into an mmo and the game has only realistical elements no wizards, elves, demons, you only fight against humans.
