There are alot of other games we slightly talked about in the last blog post. When talking about online games one of the hugest games is World of Warcraft Online. This game bolsters 10 millions subscribers at $15 a month. Yeah, you do the math.
Now World of Warcraft online is a type of MMO or Massively Multiplayer Online. Games that are called this are usually games that have some type of fantasy setting and the world is persistent. If you log off people are still playing, buying, killing, crafting and grouping.
Before World of Warcraft came along you had Everquest which was coined Evercrack for it's addicting gameplay.
There are also other type of online games. Alot of First Person Shooters like Quake 3, Call of Duty 4, Unreal Tournament 3, Rainbow Six: Las Vegas 2 are free to pay online with no subscription.
If you would like try a free online MMO there is a big community out there for you in Runescape.
I've never tried Runescape until today but I find it is easy to get into and the requirements are what really sets the game apart. You don't need a $1,500 computer to run the game a 3 yeard old computer can run it impressively fast on the low setting. But it's the dialog and missions that matter in this game not graphics. You can make clans and traverse the country side looking for monsters and gold. You can go into caves with molten lava or a frozen tundra.
The tutorial is the easiest part. It may take a bit to remember everything but once you do everything else becomes second nature. I had fun with my character mag3c purge and her becoming a low level mage. I'm sure if I had extra free time I'd see how far I can take her.
Here's her happy jig dancing picture:
