Sorry, noticed a typo there

Wait for Middle Earth Online or Warhammer Online.

Try Guild Wars while you're waiting as there are no subs.

lol?

But seriously, try Guild Wars, cool game and doesn't require you to give up your life to play.

Sorry, I forgot to read the OP. EVE ONLINE is WAY better than WOW as its not made for 10 year olds

tbh
he said he didn't want WOW.

Didn't mean to offend, just got up.

Its worth him trying if its still free. Hated the game myself, still has 90% of the bugs that it has on release and the grind is more boring than RF Online.

Im tempted to go back to WOW, really did like it. Just spoke to a mate at work and said he has a toon around my lvl and was keen to help lvl up. If i just chill and dont get mental hooked in again i think it might be ok

Might just pvp for a bit, then again thats what i said last time i started playing again

Yeah that is true, many bugs aint been sorted which does grate with me. The main client is still free, just gotta pay for the expansions. You can reach lvl200 on the free client though which is pretty cool, it can suck your life away and not cost a penny

I said that everytime i quit

...Now decided the only way to stop me playing it for a while, is to stop with PC gaming, so got an X360?

theres a futuristic MMORPG out somewhere called Face of Mankind. AFAIK I dont think its doing too badly, it just never became mainstream like some of the others.

Hmm, looks a little dated to me

You could give EQ2 a go, similar to WoW but without the constant verbal abuse

Jonny L · 27 Dec 2006 at 16:21

Silkroad is free and it looks better than WOW IMHO.

You think thats bad, look at WoW. MMORPG has NEVER been about gfx first and foremost, tbh, WoW looks worse than FoM. Doesnt stop it being considered one of the last few years most successful online games.

Silkroad I would have mentioned, however I hear theres lots of issues of the servers being perpetually full.

EVE was good when it came out
and the new graphics (DX 10 client) look WOW!
