If you game on your PC then you know that one of the most annoying things is the cost of games. PC games are less frequently discounted and harder to trade in then console counterparts. What is a PC gamer on a budget to do? A smart gamer turns to freebies. Not trials or casual games, but real full length free games. That’s why today we are going to take a look at some of the best free online RPG’s.

Wyvern

This game seems to be strongly infulenced by both D&D and old school electronic RPGs. The graphics are intentionally retro, but that does not stop the game from being a lot of fun. You have the choice to either play solo or hook up with groups of friends. You may spend a lot of time with the text commands searching for traps, but all in all you will not be bothered by this. The game has a wide range of vehicles that you can use to speed up travel. It also comes with a wide variety of traps (web, pit, rock, bear, arrow, etc…) as well as hidden areas. The pen and paper aspect is played up by the players’ alignment (varying levels of good or evil) and skill based combat systems. A strong magic system also comes with this game, which is a bonus if you prefer casting to hacking. It is worth knowing that areas reset after a while. This means that if you want to tackle a dunegon that has already been cleared out, you only have to wait about half an hour.

Terraworld Online

Terraworld Online is an RPG with a sense of humor. The game features several built in quests and if you happen to be a gifted writer you may just find that one of your original scripts makes it’s way into the game as they are open to submissions. You have the choice of making a custom character. While you are limited to three basic classes: a fighter, a ranger or a mage; but you will find that playing with the statistics will make up for any class based failings. The graphics are passable and definitely in the anime style. If you enjoy Chibis this is the game for you. Just be aware that it has a heavy amount of skill management.
