1. Age of Conan(http://www.ageofconan.com) - Age of Conan is getting better after several updates, specially the big one in last month, introducing new land area, a new dungeon, new quests and hours of more adventure. Also, as far as crashes are concered, the last few patches addressed most, if not all, of the causes. The game runs great now; however, there is the occasional lag spike.

2. Atlantica Online(Atlantica Online : Strategic Turn-based MMORPG from NDOORS : the place for Free Online Games and Online RPGs) - The only free-to-play, turn-based MMORPG with 3d graphics. Great game play, a great market system, guilds, nations, guild dungeons, nation dungeons, shadow dungeons, PvP, PvM, crafting, and many characters to choose from, though a bit unbalance between classes.

3. chronicles of spellborn(The Chronicles of Spellborn Current news (english)) - A very new and original MMORPG which is on CBT now. Outstanding graphcis, flexible character customization, manual-targeting combat(isn't like other mmorpgs that are click, click, attack.), really creatively-designed dungeons and maps, cool and big city, quests thoughtfully designed to go with the storyline and so on. All of these deserve a try.

4. Warhammer Online(Mythic Entertainment | Warhammer Online) - WoW may be better in other ways but WAR is more social and has better PvP. The PvE and RvR elements are well done IMO, theres is a strong story behind the quests that draws from Warhammers mass of lore and history and really immerses you in the Warhammer univers, like an integral part of the game. Besides, the open party thing makes it easy for casual grouping/ungrouping before you can get that group quest done!

Atlantica seems big, Ive not looked at it. but from every corner of every site I see there advertising flashing annoyingly at me. I wonder if it's any good. I've heard nothing but 'meh meh' comments about conan and I'll say from personal experience Warhammer is good if lacking in content (It's not even 12 months old people. Give it a chance.) I think over christmass I'll be scouring for something unique. Spellbourn sound like it has potential.

the game is actually good and innovative. its worth trying out. its f2p so you wont have anything to regret if you find the game uninteresting.
