Sure, in the long run you "Can" save money since your not selling out 14.95 a month, but I could see myself getting carried away with buying items that could possibly total over 14.95 if I'm not careful. But, I do like reading about other options and hopefully one day, MMO's in general won't feel compelled to charge anyone a price to play online with others...course, I am a dreamer.

I do not believe you will find anything of quality here, but it is fun to try these. When I left WoW, I started finding ways to get into the Korean betas, because all of those games looked cool.. From Silkroad, Dekaron, Perfect World, etc...all of them I have tried in Asian languages first before they were released in "Engrish". But, be prepared for the burnout when you realize that they all seem to play alike, but just look different.. Cheers mate. These will be really cool.

Perhaps I'll give it a shot, although I hear beta is nearly over and the game is launching very soon. Glad you're enjoying LOTRO by the way!

Thanks for this, it was a fun read. And your little guy is adorable! I was wondering, will you try out Runes of Magic? That one caught my eye (due to the whole crafting/housing thing) but then I kind of got myself sucked into LotRO and inexplicably fell in love with my hobbit girls. :) Always loved reading game reviews, especially for kooky little MMOs.

In the meantime... Human Cannons? I've got these fantastic Secret of Mana flashbacks... I skimmed this, but will read better later. In the meantime… Human Cannons?

I have never heard of the game, so it was interesting to read about it. Sounds like something one could play as a complement to other games Very extensive and good description!
