World of warcraft or city of heros. Thay are simple popular and fun. Or if you want to take a risk Eve online is fun to but its not for everone.

... For a while.

Meh, I still think MMO's have a ways to go before I'd really get into one. WoW was all right, but it quickly started feeling stale. Better than most other MMO's, but still... ugh.

Phantasy Star Online: Blue Burst.

It's a free download, free Open Beta 'til June 15th, and then you pay like $10 a month. That's nice compared to paying, say, $60 and then $10 or more a month.

Basically you have until June 15th to decide whether you like the game, and if not, you can dump it no-questions-asked.

All the money they saved instead of thinking of a passable name, passed on to you, the customer! :P

Seriously, I've been having tremendous fun with World of Warcraft. Look me up on Mannoroth, Dureck, 49 Dwarf Hunter.

City of Heroes definately, especially if you like comic books or superhero stories. I used to recommend Star Wars Galaxies, but with the new combat downgrade...uhm upgrade...I can't recommend it anymore.

Can't agree more. WoW really is a very good MMO, but as I'm really not a diehard MMOer (I've never reached max level in DAoC or WoW), it's gotten pretty dull and I play pretty infrequently.
