im really intrigued on what mmo people find best for the casual gameplayer. i use to play mmo's alot when i had more time on my hands, and i wish i still could but thats just not the case. i like pvp games mainly because they r less involved, but i used to play alot of RFO and ffxi which i got really in to and reached 75. wut are the best games now for someone who only wants to play like weeknds or an hour a day?

    Honestly if you want to play a game that is already established, go for World of Warcraft. If you want to play a game that will suite you well and will be out shortly, I would suggest waiting for Lord of the Rings Online. Great for casual play.

    so like for the lotro game, does require alot of consistant involvement? cuz i mean some weeks i might play a good deal and some weeks bearly any and i don't wanna feel like i have to b committed to enjoy the game. many of the other games i have found u can't really enjoy unless you are a high level or as far as everyone else, and if ur behind at all u can't participate in any of the fun events. thank you for ur advice tho i will look into it

    Not at all, for LOTRO you can get a ton done, in a minimal amount of time. You can log on and try to gather materials and craft and be able to improve in just a short period of time. There are a ton of short term goals and there are also long term goals that you may try for. For a casual player it isn't going to get much better than LOTRO.

    World of Warcraft is your best bet, it really opened up the casual gamer market.

    Guild Wars might be another one to try for very good team-based PvP and so-so PvE.   No monthly fee but it's not really what most would consider a true MMORPG since it doesn't have a huge persistent world.  

    If you want a simple hack and slash game Dungeon Runners has free invites through MMORPG.COM.  Don't expect much, the game is going to be free to play.

    Some of the new generation of games are following WoW and trying to be more playable and less mind-numbing timesinks.  LotRO will probably be one, you might keep and eye out for two upcoming games - Warhammer Online and Age of Conan.  Edit - Pirates of the Burning Sea also sounds interesting and possibly casual-friendly.  And you get to talk like a pirate!

    And if you ever see a game called Dark and Light turn around and run away screaming as fast as you can.   There are rumors of free access play, just run away.  Quickly.

    i used to play guild wars and enjoyed it, but gave it up for another game (now i wish i didn't).  pirates of the burning sea looks promosing as well, i like the games that have many unique paths where its not just level up and get uber gear. where u can like craft, be a merchant, has politics those seem like fun but have yet to find one that can truely pull it off.

    Alien has a good suggestion , Guild Wars is a good idea, becuase your not "wasting" money if you can't play much.

    As far as pay to play games go, EvE , because most of what develops your character abilitys are real life time training (which you can be logged off for).



    It easy to get money and equiped too, and its not easy to leanr everything, but just take it one step at a time, and if ya have any question about it pm me.
