You're right, Guild Wars is good (great in fact!) - but no, it's not the same price! You just buy the game outright, and there is no monthly subscription. It means you don't get patches/updated content as frequently as you do with WoW, you only get new content whenever a new expansion comes out, but it's a great game. I love it. Prefer it to WoW, I just got bored of it because it's been quite a long time since the last expansion as they have been working on Guild Wars 2.

There isn't much point buying it right now though, unless you have the time to get the original game + all the expansions and play them all the way through within the next 6 months or so, but it would be pretty rushed if you did that! Guild Wars 2 is entering closed Beta any time now (if it hasn't already), and I don't think the game itself will be too far behind (it was originally predicted to be out this Autumn/Winter but it's taking longer than expected) - I'd stick it out with WoW a few more months til GW2 comes out and then play that :-)

Alganon is very much like WOW. Although it is not cartoony like WOW.
It is free to play up to level 30 , then a one off fee to play to max level 50 .
The player base is VERY low at the moment.All aspects of the gameplay are the same as WOW
with only 4 toons to choose from at the moment , Mystic , Warrior ,Magus and Ranger.

There is new content planned for the new year , so i hear!
The client download can be found at MYALGANON.COM .I have tried this game and found it fun !

"Perfect World" is free and much like wow, "lord oF the rings" has a limited free use..

Try the World of Warcraft PTR it's free to play and its by blizzard so its completely safe and you can copy your live characters to the Public Test Realms and it's much much quieter then on live

Take a look at BATMUD. Its a totally free multiuser online FANTASY game which has been created way back in 1990. It is an old game with a long history.

My history with the game starts back in 2001. I started as a giant barbarian and soloed mostly exp and gold to buy better equipment. I bought nice SABLE axes from other players who had gotten them by killing some monsters. After a while I got bored with soloing and started partying with other players. I realized I could gain much more knowledge about the game that way and gather experience more rapidly. I got to know some other players too and partyed regularly with mostly the same people.

Barbarian guild mostly involved stunning enemies with battlecries, then hammering them to death and then burning their corpse for reputation. There were some cool events in which you fought either other players or monsters, but still I got fed up with it and wanted to test some other types of reincs(reincarnations). Reincing in Batmud means that you re-recreate your character from start and you can basically pick different background, race, levels, stats and guilds. You still keep your experience, equipment, name, castle and ship etc...

I tested partying as a mage. It was mostly about being in party's backrow and casting protection spells and offensive blasts at the monsters. Then tested being a healer which was about the same except instead of blasting monsters, you healed other players. Tried being a merchant too... Merchants can provide many services to other players, I tried making chests. First I logged wood from the Batmud's forests to make the chest. Then had to mine minerals to make a lock for the chest. I made few of them and sold them, then thought that I again need a change.

I had always liked soloing, so I thought my next reinc needs to be one where I can solo, party for exp, party for equipment(you kill big monsters which give you nice equipment) and cast spells. Do everything so to speak! For this I picked an undead skeleton caster-tank, where for my tanking abilities relied on to the newly created knights guild which allowed me to use all types of weapons and best of all: mounts. Soon I was riding bears, drakes and griffons to battle. For the casting side I picked bards guild which is a guild which can cast spells which give bonuses for the whole party. Bards work nicely in equipment parties and also in exp parties and soloing too, since they can replenish your hit points and endurance. Thats why knight-bard reinc has been my favourite for the last few years...

During the past few years I've also started to socialize a bit more with other players. I have met(though briefly) several hundreds of them in player conventions. It's very funny too meet somebody in real life you have known for years in the game.

Starting playing Batmud is much more easyer nowadays, because the game now offers a java client which you can use to play the game. Batclient, as they call it, gives you all the necessary features. I recommend Batmud for everybody.
