That depends on your personal style, how much you would be willing to pay per month, and how often you would intend on playing it.
WoW: Good overall game, can be great for those extra 30 min before you have to go to work, or for longer stints. Lots of players so grouping is easy. 15.95 per month though.
Matrix Online: If your a fan of the movies, you'll enbjoy this game. Good overall graphics and a solid game design. The shortcommings to this game is that the quests (AKA missions) tend to be quite repetetive. Not good for long term play, but a great game to go with if you want a break from other mmorpgs.
Ultima Online: This game was excellent for its time...however, its now a dinosaur relic. Good only for nostalga purposes really, as its cost is still as much as many brand new mmorpgs. Look elsewhere.
Dark age of Camelot: This game was also great for its time. The predecessor to WoW more so than any other game, it has almost lived past its time. Players who have had the game for some time can start characters out automatically at 20. Great for them, but as a new player, it makes finding help or groups extremely difficult, and it is a game where grouping is all but 100% necessary. Look elsewhere.
Final Fantasy online: Final fanatasy online has some of the best graphics out there, and there is a multitude of quests available depending on level and rank. The problem most players have with this game is that it is not a fast paced, level your character to 20 overnight game. This game is geared more for the laid back player, who has time enough to spend say a entire weekend just having fun on a game. Players here tend to be very friendly and helpful, and it has the best in game language translator you are likely to find anywhere, so language barriers between american, euoropean, and asian players are all but a thing of the past. If your more of a take your time, laid back person, this is a excellent choice. If not, go with World of Warcraft. Final fanatasy online dropped their monthly fee to 12.95 per month. Now, keep in mind each character you create needs its own content id (IE, a memory card just for that character). Each additional content ID will cost you 1 dollar. So if money is not a problem, you can have up to 16 characters per account, but that would add a total of 16 dollars to the base fee of 12.95. Otherwise, just stick with one or 2 characters at a time to keep the price around the average range for most popular mmorpgs.
Everquest II: This mmo has some nice features. I'd call it about a step or 2 down from World of Warcraft for some of the more complex UI features. Finding parties is not as easy as it is in world of warcraft, but not terribly hard either.I enjoyed this mmo, but I would go more the way of World of Warcraft for its nice upgrades in graphics, UI feature, and party availablity.Everquest II also runs 15.95 a month
Dungeons and Dragons online (DDO): The concept of this game was great: Transform the old book and dice fantasy game into a formate all could enjoy with ease. Unfortunately, they failed. The camera is horrible, the graphics are ont he okay side but not great, leveling is slow (which was keeping in standard with the book and dice system, however, it does not work to go that slow for a mmorpg). Hindered by the fact that witht he book and dice set you can make your character think, act, do, or use anything you want however you can thkink to try, computer gaming simply hasnt reached the level where all those options can be available. Nice try, but not enough. Definite pass on this one.I believe this one was 12.95 a month, could be wrong though.
Lord of the rings online: *sigh* This one got my hopes up..until I found it was by the same makers who made DDO.
Even more a problem: The system is eaxactly the same as DDO. Sure, different UI layouts, and different quests. Basically, the took the same system, made skins and overlaid them on the frames of the characters created for DDO. Sad, Sad, sad attempt to get more players interested in their games. Highly disappointed, would not waste time or money on it IMO of course.I believe this one was 12.95 a month, could be wrong though.
Not able to afford a monthly fee game? No sweat! Try out dragonfable online. Not really great for long term play, but it is a boredom cutter as it has nothing to buy or download. so long as your computer can run flash and has internet access , you can play dragonfable.Simply look up Dragon Fable and you'll find it.
So of the paid for games? I would say either World of Warcraft or Final Fantasy Online. As a break from mainstream MMOs I would recommend Matrix Online for short term play. Hope that helps :)

Hard to uncover many (first rate) video games that do not ought to be downloaded. Runescape is the exceptional choice totally free to play AND no down load. If you are inclined to down load although take a look at a sport referred to as 'Perfect World International', like a weaker variant of WoW, however has the various identical aspects (flying, swimming, open global, and so on.) It is unfastened to down load and play, and countless numbers of humans nonetheless play it, even though in case your connection isn't first-class / your web isn't very strong, it'll most likely take a couple of days to down load because of the dimensions. A well solo rpg to check out (additionally ought to down load) could be 'The Elder Scrolls; Arena', that is the primary sport within the sequence 'The Elder Scrolls' (Oblivion is the most recent facet of this sequence). Arena is far higher than Oblivion too, however the photographs are particularly out of date and rarely tolerable in a way, in comparison to more moderen video games - Great sport if you'll be able to appear beyond this nevertheless. (be aware. Daggerfall has additionally been further now, the moment sport within the sequence; now not certain what its like, now not attempted it but) Hope this is helping, J
