I find myself with too little money to afford WoW anymore and am beginning to have withdrawal symptoms, So instead of trying a billion FTP (Free to play) Mmo's with long downloads only to find out they suck, i thought id ask you, the escapist, to recommend me some FTP mmo's based on some preferences and give you all a chance to brag about your favourite FTP mmo's:

1. Im not exactly looking for just a free wow clone, no time like the present to try something alittle different.

2. I cant stand games where you click to move, prefer WASD movement

3. Im not too bothered about graphics, if a games good a games good (And i dont have the best pc ever)

4. Im looking for a world to explore more than anything else, Combat needs to be passable but climbing a mountain to scout out for a new quest hub will always excite me more than chopping off some ones head (Call me weird)

5. The smaller file size the better, im willing to wait for a true epic, but having to wait for a 10gig download for a game i might not like isnt really something i like doing.

6. No games that dont support EU, I dont feal like moving country, no matter how good a game is :p

I realize these aren't the best preferences in the world, so if theres anything else you would like me to add just ask.

Thanks in advance :D

*Edit*

Just realised i didnt mention FTP's ive already tryed:

Champions online
Lord of the Rings online
Crimecraft
Anything on ijji

and just FYI, im not choosing too play FTP, i can no longer afford to pay to play and i generally enjoy mmo's, so im settling for what i can get xD

I remember a game my friends used to play called ultima online, I believe older versions of it are Free to play and I assume it must be at least alright for them to put a decently large amount of time into it and even at one point considered making a server.

Other than that I really have no idea sorry.

Lord of the Rings Online is pretty neat if you ask me.
I've played a lot of free MMOs and the only one I cared the slightest bit for was LotRO. Course my problem is I was into WoW, so everything else gets compared.

Another decent one was DDO, though from what I played of each, LoTRO seemed to have more exploration. Niether came close to WoW though. Yeah, I am definitely an explorer. Doubt few others took as many screenshots of just the environment in that game.

Yeah, when i first tried LOTRO i was playing WoW too. Now, being a poor college sophomore, i must look for slight cheaper forms of entertainment, thus I have come back to LOTRO. I love exploring the places, its like running around in my childhood memories, as i read the books at a very young age. Its good stuff, the classes are fun, and the scenery is breathtaking on occasion.

I recommend that you not waste your time on FTP MMO(RPG)'s.
...Yeah, free-to-play MMO's usually aren't even worth playing. Most of the time it's a case of "you get what you pay for".

Though there are some games that might be worth killing some time with. I remember somewhat enjoying a little game called Digital Devil Saga: Shin Megami Tensei: Imagine: Online. It wasn't the best, but it held my interest. It's the closest we'll ever get to Pokemon: Online.

EDIT: The game might go against your fifth preference. It's a real bish to patch and load and it chooses not to run super well even on a really good computer.
