World of Warcraft

This is the worlds most popular MMORPG and can be extremely complex and time consuming if you really dive deep into it.

Leveling is at your fingertips all the time and WoW is filled with fun quests and stuff do to. I can promise you that you will never be bored!

- Lineage II (filled with bots)

The Time Investing MMORPG Player

If you really want a complex and time consuming game with a lot of rewards for the hardcore player, there are a couple of nice advanced MMORPGs out there.

Eve Online

If you ask me, this is the best online game ever made. I have played it since 2003 and I am still in love with it. Featuring a breathtaking universe to explore with over 6000 starsystems. This game is really to big and complex to describe in full here. Let's just say it's an space opera that will make you want to live in New Eden permanently. If your ever played Elite I can almost promise you will absolutely love this one! CCP is offering a trial for this game so try it out! <a href="https://secure.eve-online.com/ft/?aid=103277" target="_top">EVE Online 14 Day Trial</a>

Everquest II

Although you can get your quick fix of monster mashing here too this game is a bit more complex thant the ones described in the casual category. The learning curve is steeper and group play is more in focus here.

Final Fantasy XI

A very popular MMORPG that's been around for a long time now, this game almost forces you to play in groups if you want to get somewhere. This requires a lot of time on your behalf. Well worth it though if you ask me!

Other games worth mentioning in the category are:

- Dungeons and Dragons Online (group play is a must here)

- <a href="http://uc.gamestotal.com/?in=792535">Unification Wars (100% free)</a>

Summary

Well then, I hope I have given you some nice tips on which MMO game is right for you. However, there are tons of more games out there and these are just some of the more popular ones.
