Neither Guild Wars or 2nd Life are MMO's so your list is flawed. You obviously have not tried Perfect World since it is not on the list. You should give it a try, it is far better than Atlantica or many of the others you have listed.

#1 Guild wars is not an mmorpg, alright even though it has way more community and population than 90% of mmorpgs could ever hope to have and it is a MASSIVE it is a MULTIPLAYER it is ONLINE and it is a ROLE PLAYING GAME. Ill buy this , because its not MASSIVE all the time, since its instenced, so ill live with it not being an mmorpg
#2 It is FREE 2 PLAY I even put PLAY in bold letters, PLAY meaining you can PLAY IT for free, Even though you have to pay Up front. That being said, most Free 2 play and free 2 download mmorpgs end up costing u more in the long run if you plan to stick with them and do the end game stuff than GW will ever cost.
I still dont get the "the f2ps cost more in the long run" stuff.....i have yet to play a f2p where I had t o pay a dime.....No one is forcing you to do anything.......They prey on people who feel that they have to be the best all the time or they wont play...... People like myself are just looking for a fun game to play, not necessarily to rule the world.........Also GW shouldnt be classified with many of the f2ps because it sint free....You have to buy the game and the expansions, which you will certainly find out quickly is far from free......Yes it is cheaper than the p2p models but nowhere as cheap as a true f2p.....Also the game is almsot totally instanced and it feels like a single player game with otehrs around more than a true MMO.
