Cool, will look into that. Not really looking for something that is like WOW, just any good ones really. :)
Yeah, think money tends to be made through adverts. It seems there is quite often an option of paying a one off fee to get extra bits and that.

90% of them offer "premium access" or items for real cash also Sword of the new world is a really nice one to play.

Haha, I'll give that a miss. ;) Thing about WOW is it seems like you have to play it 14 hours a day to get anywhere and stand a chance against other players. :-/ I don't get much time to play games these days so a game like that is no good for me.
That Warhammer online game looks pretty interesting mind... Might keep an eye on that.

You don't really. There was a thing atm where if a friend invited you or whatever and you leveled together to got triple XP and even the ability to grant each other levels. Ya leveled so fast it was a joke!
I enjoy boosting mates through on my other characters, is good fun and never really played a game with a similar community.

I play Last chaos
And a little shitty 2d mmorpg called tibia which is a pile of poo when its compared to other mmorpgs but its very addictive as its so simple.
Last chaos is free to play everywhere anyhow etc but you can buy certain items to make your time easier.
And tibia has a free area and a premium area so obviously you would be leveling up quicker as prem but tibia on the free side can be fun killing noobs all day lol.
I feel like such a geek now haha
