There is of course Chivalry: Medieval Warfare to consider once it releases. It's not an MMO, but it's first person and brutal! [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08ErrjBwg9E"]Chivalry: Medieval Warfare Gameplay Trailer - YouTube[/ame]
This fantasy crap is really getting on my nerves. Theyre all the same. Does anyone know of any true medieval mmorpgs? They don't have to be pure, I consider lord of the rings to be a light touch of fantasy because the armors and cities are generally realistic. thanks
When you start digging for a truly medieval mmo you'll find that quality will be consistantly worse than if you'd just gone for something like world of warcraft, but as yozora mentioned, mount & blade. It might not be an mmo, but you'll definitely get some large scale multiplayer medieval battles out of it.
