My personal faves....

If you like elves:
LOTRO (well done game, couldnt "hook" me, but I have nothing bad to say about it)
WOW (an excellent game, raid encounters are the best I have ever seen in a game, cartoony but who caresl)

If you like laser guns:
EVE Online (probably the biggest "sandbox" of all time, excellent game)
Tabula Rasa (Oct 19th) (the Shizzle in my nizzle, the game Rocks in beta)

Off the beaten path:
Saga of Ryzom (very unique concepts, hv never seen anything like it)

Alot of existing games also have free trials. Check out MMORPG.com for a full listing of all current and upcoming MMO's. They will also let you know which ones have a freebie.

I started Tabula Rasa not long ago on Beta. I fear for its end game. I think as far as end game goes it is going to be another City of Heros.\


Net guns R kool.


My Unique name is Elena if anyone cares =o (damn it! its meant to be the elvish name for "of the Stars" not a human females name QQ ! )

Lamil

I tried that a while back, and the only thing I remember from it was... lots of empty space.. a highway sort of thing in the sky.. and purple lava?

idk. i didn't get into that game one bit.

FFXI's only problem is the amount of mobs there are to fight while leveling up. I have a 65 Pally on there and i was fighting blue crabs at level 10 and even at level 60 i was fighting blue crabs with a different name. I havn't played in a long long time so maybe now they have green crabs not sure.

FFXI is unimpressive. Its pretty, yeah..but its not hard to be pretty when everything basically looks the same.

Tabula Rasa seems interesting, fun in that FPS sort of way, but since I don't much like shooters...

More or less, I don't have anything to play right now. I'll wait on Warhammer and Age of Conan.

I Want to try out Warhammer, but fuck Conan, gonna be another DandD/LoTR

you seem to be very confused about those games...

DnD is a 100% instanced quest-based game.
LoTRO is basically EQ2 with less zoning and better storyline
AoC will be an action-based semi-pvp game.

Those 3 are completely different from each other.

Warhammer will basically be LoTRO/EQ2 with PvP.
