MMORPG with main focus on crafts/skills?

[lance]

A lot of MMORPG's have skills, but they are backseat to the combat. I want an MMORPG that is focused on skills, the way runescape is. I'd like it to be free, but I'm willing to pay (10$ US or less p/month is preferable). Skills like mining, smithing, cooking, forms of item crafting. By focused on the skills, I mean a game that you could play for a large amount of time without fighting anything (I will fight though =p).

WoW. But it's 15$/month.Almost no other MMOs have their full focus on crafting.

There aren't lot of games what focus on skills just research the Internet

WoW is the best right now for that.I think EVE online has some limited crafting to make your own weapons and ships. I only played the 14 day trial.Tabula Rasa has some crafting but it is subpar from the lower levels I played.Star Wars Galaxies has crafting but I found the whole game very dull, boring, full of glitches and void of players. Unfortunately, most games are on the 15 range. Nothing on the 10 that I know.Good Luck!

I also recommand WoW since there still is nothing compared to it. But if you want to make lots of money in wow I recomand herbalism as 1 of your proffesions. Good money also are Jewelcrafting and mining.For fun there is always Engineering

neosteam craftor can make their own weapons immediately using their special skills (crafting skills) to supply their comrades weapons for fighting ( engineer or smith)..
