    I'm assuming you mean online games from your choices since most games don't have a monthly fee when you think about it. I'm betting you'll still get a lot of answers in "other."

    I voted for Gunz because it is mindless fun, and also the only one of the choices I have played. The other two just don't interest me.

    When people will pay others to play a game for them it might be a sign the game isn't all that fun.

    I voted Guild Wars. It's a top quality game, it's just way too instanced for me.

    Schutzbar - Human Warrior - Windrunner Alliance - World of Warcraft
    Nihilanth - Kerra Paladin - Blackburrow - EverQuest II
    XBL Gamertag - Eagle15GT

    You said "game" not MMORPG so I obviously voted GW.

    It's a competition game. No arguement. NCSoft says it's not a MMORPG.

    Guildwars.com FAQ
    Is Guild Wars an MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game? Guild Wars has some similarities to existing MMORPGs, but it also has some key differences. Like existing MMOs, Guild Wars is played entirely online in a secure hosted environment. Thousands of players inhabit the same virtual world. Players can meet new friends in gathering places like towns and outposts where they form parties and go questing with them. Unlike many MMOs, when players form a party and embark upon a quest in Guild Wars, they get their own private copy of the area where the quest takes place. This design eliminates some of the frustrating gameplay elements commonly associated with MMOs, such as spawn camping, loot stealing, and standing in a queue in order to complete a quest. Guild Wars takes place in a large virtual world made up of many different zones, and players can walk from one end of the world to the other. In Guild Wars much of the tedium of traveling through the world has been eliminated. Players can instantly return to any safe area (town or outpost) that they have previously visited just by clicking on it in the world overview map. Rather than labeling Guild Wars an MMORPG, we prefer to call it a CORPG (Competitive Online Role-Playing Game).Guild Wars was designed from the ground up to create the best possible competitive role-playing experience. Success in Guild Wars is always the result of player skill, not time spent playing or the size of one's guild. As characters progress, they acquire a diverse set of skills and items, enabling them to use new strategies in combat. Players can do battle in open arenas or compete in guild-vs-guild warfare or the international tournament. Engaging in combat is always the player's choice, however; there is no player-killing in cooperative areas of the world. Players in Guild Wars can play with or against players from around the world in the global tournaments and arenas. And while players are initially placed in a region based on their selected language (so that there is a greater likelihood that others will be speaking their language) they can join up in the always-available International District to form parties and to play with anyone from anywhere in the world.

    I voted other. I think the free version of Anarchy Online is better than the options on the list.

    Instanced means that you have a separate zone to yourself. It's not very massive when you only play with a few other people. You can even have zones for a quest that you do yourself or with a group. Instancing just means that you won't be bothered by others.
