If he's not even going to give games a chance, I don't think you guys are gonna find anything at all to play. From the sounds of it, he won't really enjoy any of the free MMORPGs simply because he won't actually try them.

Seconding the AQworlds thing. 2d graphics yes but it isn't a side scroller at all.

Try Dream Of Mirror Online (DOMO). Im trying it currently and its really good. It is SLIGHTLY like Mabinogi but still very different. Different races and lots of interesting quests. I love it so far.

Also try Empire Of Sports.

It's currently brand new and free to play but will probably be pay to play soon.

It's great. The sports included are:

1)Tennis

2)Soccer

3)Bobsleigh

4)Ski

5)Dance (DDR style arrows)

6)Shooting (In a gallery)

7)Fun gym exercises (Almost better than the sports xD)

8)Track and Field

and I'm pretty sure that's all the sports.

These sports aren't mindless smashing keys, they take timing and attention.

Especially the gym, which even takes good typing skills on the punching bag. Lol.

XD You're right about that. I think there are some reasons for this. First, my friend is jaded when it comes to MMO's. Since he's played a lot of MMO's, I think he has a set idea of what he wants from an MMO, and when it doesn't deliver, he simply doesn't play it. I think that overall we have similar tastes, but my friend is more firmly set in his opinions than I am. However, I don't think this is necessarily a bad thing, just one that's tough to have when you're looking for a free MMO. Also, I think both of us we're less-inclined to try MMO's we viewed as more "casual," like a snowboarding or golfing MMO. This did, of course, limit our searching, but it was a mutual decision and we took the consequences for it.

Second, I delivered all of these suggestions to my friend over the phone, using the summaries provided in this thread. I'm uncomfortable speaking over the phone, and I don't usually communicate effectively while talking on it, so that might have lent to the rejection of the suggested MMO's.

Third, I'm a fairly submissive person most of the time, and my friend's more of a leader, especially when it comes to situations like searching for MMO's. My friend usually suggests the MMO's that we try, and honestly, we would have probably have a found an MMO we both liked a long time ago if my friend's computer hadn't been so hopelessly inept at running MMO's.

Really, my friend and I were searching for a free MMO to serve as an alternative when we both couldn't afford to use a pay-to-play MMO, and thankfully we managed to get enough money to start playing City of Heroes again. I apologize that I wasn't able to play the suggestions on this thread with my friend. Thanks a ton for the suggestions, and I'm ever in need of a free MMO, I know where to look!
