Are there any MMORPG

I was searching for an MMORPG similiar to SAO and i found a promising one:
Age of Wushu (or Wulin in Europe).
- The game doesn't have levels, character development is skill based. There are a lot of skills in-game that you can learn.
- The combat is action based, something like in RaiderZ, but uses a rock-paper-scissors system (3 type of skills: normal, faint, block -> faint > block > normal > faint or something like that)
- No magic skills, at least nothing like shooting ice and stuff.
- It is a martial arts based mmo with a lot of different weapons and skill sets.
- Your character stays online after you log out, and you will become an NPC. Based on where you logged out, your character will take on a job or go fishing etc. Others can even kidnap you while you are gone, making it more fun. Then they can sell you as slave or to a brothel :D Then you have to bribe/fight your way out :D
- Its a wuxia game, so running on water/walls, gliding through air (even aerial combat) is possible, which brings a lot of options into pvp.
- There are even hidden weapons, like the needles Kirito used on the Rabbit once.
- Open world. You can PvP/PK even in towns, but there is a jail system. You can even become a policeman to prevent crimes etc.
- Miracle events. It means something like SAO unique skills, you can unlock quests by being nice/rude to NPC's (they will remember what you did to them and they will have a bad or good opinion about you). You can get nice items or skills like that, and bcs the game world is so big, there is a chance you will be the only one to get them.
- I don't know about housing/marriage system, but the game is currently being prepared for a beta in europe/usa.
- Free to play, but its haven't released yet.

that's similar to sword art online? kinda felt like playing MMO games after watching this anime. Please don't say World of Warcraft. thanks!

symbv said:

Why look for other games when you can play SWORD ART ONLINE itself?
Ok, it is merely a "virtual" MMO game but you are in the SAO world, seeing things from the anime/novel...

If there is need to socialize, there is also a social game of SAO too - unfortunately it seems you need a smartphone in Japan to play it

After watching that vid my thoughts about the Elder Scrolls MMO went from "meh its cool I guess" to "Oh... God... Yes..."

So yeah there are some similarities like picking any type of armor and weapon you want to equip for your character

Looks nice, but i can't read japanese :D

Fai said:
Most of present day mmos allow you to equip different armors and do not restrict to one armor per class.

The ONLY MMO I've played that was open.. and made you actually aim.. was TERA.

Mabinogi, you can become anything.

Perhaps we should look into the MMORPG features seen in Sword Art Online:

- Action-Oriented Combat (NOT "watch your character and monster trade blows" combat)
- Open World
- Player Housing
- Professions (Blacksmithing/Cooking/Alchemy/etc.)
- Player-Killing
- Pets (for certain classes)
- Marriage/Couple System
- Ethics Code (if you know what I mean)


My Response-FlyingDonasaur, edited
I think Mabinogi would be an Ideal game for SAO lovers :)

Action Oriented Combat-Yes,fighting will indeed need skill, knowledge, intelligent and quick thinking.NOT a trade hit combat system.

Open World-Yes, free roaming,largely vast in my perspective, 2 continents( pretty large) and 1 island. (Other land still yet to be found by Milletians)

Player Housing-Yes, there are the Homesteads, and the neighborhoods next to the cities.

Professions-Yes, includes all listed above(in the quote)and many more.

Player Killing-Yes, there is 2 types: firstly, a dueling system, where players duel with optional rules that can be changed between the 2 players agreeing, with the damage change percentage;secondly, faction pvping: Between Elves and Giants, and/or Paladin and Dark Knight. Note these faction fighting may be turned off simply in the menu.

Pets-Yes, but since the game is free classed(not sure what the the actual term for it is, but basically there are no classes and you can be anything you want, though you may choose a job that aims for the specific skillset for that job,ex. Warrior to Smash, windmill, combat skills; Bard to instrument playing, Lullaby skill, etc.) there are no specific pets for classes, maybe a few.

Marriage/Couple system-Yes, there is this pretty cool marriage system with the bride and groom in the church, won't get too detailed about it but look it up. Couple system is include as well.

Ethic Code-Haha im not sure about that, you can get creative though, if you know what I mean..
haha, there is a family system though, where you can have children(hence its ageing system)and a wife/husband.

Mabinogi has an anime style to it, where characters are anime-like, favoring many anime-lovers. There is a great storyline to the game, giving you choices along the way, and giving you perks, such as new skills to guide you, transformations(Paladin, Dark Knight, Falcon(elves),and Beast(Giant). There is also the demi-god where you may turn into a half god, showing great power to the land of Erinn(the name of the world of mabinogi). The game's storyline bases on generations, where each one has it's unique background to it). Just a note, this was just a small welcoming to a cool game that SAO lovers may suggest, if you wish to know more, take time look into this game, and think about it. I've seen many SAO followers on mabinogi, and you may be one as well. :D


(please forgive my spelling, i am on an iPad and it trully is difficult D:)

I felt like this message was too fancey 8D

Play Dragon Nest.

You have to "Literally" aim every attacks via "Crosshair" cursor, just like a FPS.

Stocky said:
Most sensible answer on this forum - Guild Wars 2.

Niko-kun said:
SAO and ALO are pretty much high fantasy sandboxes.


That's the basis of what you will need to recreate the feel in a real world MMORPG.

A game like sao for me would definitivelly be a game with only 1 class and you can personalise your character as you wish, so no base bonus, you can focus on whatever you want or play hybrid.

Personally, since finding a mmorpg exactly like sao is impossible, I'm searching for a mmorpg who have many skills and where you can use your stat as you wish, so you can make a dps swordman as well as any other thing. I'm tired of game where you only have 1 or 2 way to make your character to don't be useless...

Any idea of a mmorpg that look in some kind like this?

OP really should try out Runescape. The new EoC is basically SAO.

There's even dual wielding.

Jaedia said:
There's going to be a SAO game. Just wait.

Paul said:
Not gonna be anything like the actual anime/game.

Ragix said:


I was about to lol, but if you seriously think about it, aside from out-dated graphics and the combat system being different it can be seen as pretty similar. I mean you got yo stats, yo cooking, lumbering, crafting and so-on. You're not really bound to anything.(Can be whatever you want.) Runescape is more diverse though cuz magixx and archery.

Oh, plus Runescape has a pretty harsh death penalty, not like SAO's death penalty though . D:

Jaedia said:


Of course not, might even be just a simple RPG rather than a full blown MMO, but it'd sell.

tensaigandy said:
Pure Hack n Slash and high speed action MMO ?

Dragon Nest, obviously

MidnightPride said:
