Next best thing to WoW.

Like so many others out there, I'm not made of money and paying for an online game every month is just out of the question. I'd read about this game and its unheard of free online pay, so I'd been eyeing it for a few years. I finally bought it a couple weeks ago and wow. It's pretty darn good RPG.

There's a huge world to explore, quests to take on, big (and small) decisions to make, and you can always add more on to it with the sequels and expansions. Whether your thing is tossing spells left and right or bashing bad guys over the head, it's all catered to pretty well here. You're required to have two professions, so you can do both if you want to (personally, I prefer a ranger/spell caster combo, but that's just my own taste).

This is really supposed to be a group thing, joining up with other players to make your way through the world. Teambuilding, cooperative gameplay, etc., but -- and the reason it didn't get five stars from me -- you can get around that fairly easily. Run across a quest that takes more than one player? No problem, just hit the public area and ask and/or hire someone to help you complete it, then go your separate ways. It gets a little bit lonely that way. Then again, if you feel the need to connect, you can just hang out in an active zone and chat. Still, it might be better if having a group was required, and not something you could get around.

That aside, this is definitely worth the money and I really recommend it. Is WoW better? Probably. But if you don't have that kind of money, this is a more than decent substitute.
