In Pictures: 20 MMOGs You Should Explore, Part 2
Aion
NCsoft brought Aion, a fantasy-based massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) to the States on September 29, 2009. The game centers around a conflict between the Asmodians and the Elyos and combines player-versus-player and player-versus-environment game play. As both factions sport wings, flight also takes on a major role in the game, used not only for travel but for battling enemies, completing quests, and more. Since its launch, Aion has received one major expansion called Assault on Balaurea.
The game still costs $39.99 and requires a $14.99 monthly fee.

Entropia Universe is visually very impressive in comparison to everything else but I still haven't got the hang of it, I ran out of ammunition during hunter training and now I can't finish it.
when you consider buying a game for 50 60 bucks that will only last say at max 3 mounths usually it is worth it
the description above for a world that is not enough for high lvl players is far from true. After 2 years of exploration on this HUGE mmorpg i found myself having not even remotely discovered 30% of the land......
factions, diplomacy affecting factions, very entertaining raiding and countless hours of fun with quests.......
The graphics in the game still look awesome for its genre, but your pc needs to have real horse power to play it.....
i would say you still have not experienced the fun of pvp against other players while having to use more than 30 skills at your disposal, nor the fact that you also need to have played the other classes and subclasses to be able to know their potential, their weaknesses and their strong points...
aren't all games repetitive after some time? are most games of the fps genre a 20-30 hours of experience for 60-80 euros? isn't that a major rip-off?
Aion has been spotted on the cheap though, you just need to look.
Or I could buy guild wars 2 when it comes out. Gonna be 50$ most likely and have no dumb monthly fee. Oh and it will last longer than 3 months.
Thanks

*shrug* I've been playing Neverwinter Nights very actively since 2004. It cost me all of 20 dollars then, and hasn't required a single cent more since then.
Neverwinter Nights 2 follows the same format, and visually blows all of these games out of the water.
atlantica online and its very good too
I would consider a subscription, if the cost were in line with a magazine or similar subscription content, perhaps $6 per month.
Otherwise, you'll find me still in Guild Wars, though eagerly awaiting Guild Wars 2.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but are you basically saying Halo is less repetitive and tedious than an RPG? I don't mean to burst you bubble or anything, but Zelda for NES has more depth than Halo and most, if not all similar titles.
As a side note, I find MMOs interesting, but always end up indifferent towards them due to their inherent model of "gameplay". They all run on a grind, and I haven't found one yet that actually makes the money or time worthwhile.
Try Battleground Europe. No grind, but it will probably be the most difficult game you will ever play. The learning curve is so steep many people just cannot play it and be consistently good at it. Anyway if you like realism, non HP damage models, and war simulation you will like if you can make it through the early struggles of a new player.
