What MMORPG?

[Guest]

Now that I'm broadly connected to the internet, I think I would like to
try one of the online RPG wonders.

My yougest daughter - lets call her Marit (that IS her name after all) -
is hooked on World of Warcraft. I'm not particularly eager to try that
one, seems to me I have to give it a lot more attention than I'm
ready/willing to.

I want a MMORPG for the occasional gamer. Any recommendations?

All MMORPGs require huge time investments. That and the monthly fee are
why I never play.

I have played some normal multiplayer games, but they wouldn't offer the
same experience as an MMORPG, really.

Hmm. That reminds me. I can't even recall when I last bumped my D2
characters. I do hope they still exist.

And two of them have expired, but the best of them remains, saved from
doom with eleven days on the clock. Score!

Try Ultima Legacy. If you have questions, check the FAQ. Which
probably needs some updating in that area, now that I think about it, so
nevermind on that part.

For the real information, check here:

, here:

(some of this stuff is pretty outdated too, but there is still a lot of
good stuff)

and here:

for more information.

Perhaps Guild Wars? While it is a touch more action oriented than a
traditional RPG, it does have one feature that makes it ideal for
occassional players - no monthly fees. Pay for the game when you buy
it and that's *it*. That way you don't have to pay $15 per month just
to maintain a character in a gameworld you only visit once or twice
every sixty days.
