I would love to go and play an MMO again, or go back and play WoW, but I only want to play it casually :( That's the main problem with MMOs, they can't really be that casual.

You can play WoW casually, afaik the competitve scene is dead anyway.

You can play most MMOs casually, the problem is, if you don't spend enough time with them, it won't be your money worth.

So figure out how much time you're gonna spend on gaming and decide which MMO you should get going this way.

LOTRO is F2P and has a very enjoyable F2P so you can jump on and off whenever you want and if you run out of quests, you buy a single package on offer, play that for as long as it lasts and buy another one.

F2P and micro-transactions are best bet for casual players.
 
Packed up warcraft a month or 2 ago so currently not playing an MMO even though I've tried a few. Basically waiting for Guild Wars 2 since I enjoyed the original before moving on to WoW.

Compared to WoW's pace I just found LOTRO really slow and boring. Have a few mates who rave about it, but I've never seen the attraction, it's always felt clunky to me. I guess the "OMG It's Tolkien" bug passes me by.

If you're looking for a wow clone RIFT is doing well and Trion seem to listen to their customers a bit better than Blizzard. DCUO is good for a month or so but it lacks content to keep it interesting. DDO is a similar system to DCUO in that you click to attack instead of hotkeying, which is nice for a change.

Basically no reason not to download and try the free to play ones. Conan, LOTRO, DDO, Champions online and a few of the ones from Perfect World International are ok too.
 
I found all the perfect world mmo's I tried just glorified timesinks.

I know thats what a mmo is, but with those its so blatant - they even have auto routing so you dont have to manually walk to the quest npc.

I think theyre also heavily pay to win which puts me off totally.
 
I know that you mean about the Perfect World ones, but it depends what you're looking for. Personally I played them as a break from the norm sort of thing. Couple of weeks on something different can usually lift the fog if you're feeling a bit WoW'd out. Even if you download, play for a night and wipe them from your PC in the morning, it's a free night on something new which is usually fun to do.
