Online game recommendations

Four months ago, I posted here asking for game recommendations since I then had bought a new one and had been out of the computer game market for three years. The responses were great and have enjoyed those recommendations.

I’ll take new recommendations but I thought I would give an online game a try. Knowing myself, I don’t think I will take to it since my perception is that they could be glorified chat rooms. If it turns out that is the case, I will stop. However, I need to check it out.

What are the best online games out there? Ones that emphasize a good game playing with other humans and not pretty much chat? Everquest? WWII online? Help me out here!

If you’re into the RPG-type/Fantasy aspect of gaming then I’d suggest DAoC or AO. Both are relatively newer games, and as is the case with most games of this type… they are massive and pay for play.

Or you could wait for the next generation i.e. Shadowbane or AC 2.

There are lots of online games, but MMORPGs happen to hold a special interest to me.
