Guild Wars, you only have to buy the game itself and it's the only s tore bought MMORPG that doesn't have a monthly fee.
WoW is gold standard when to comes to MMORPGS Guild Wars is next in my mind. It brings a couple of unique things to the table. The first three campaigns can be bought and played independantly of each other and you can find them pretty cheap.
Games like Maplestory and Runescape are just grindfests and not worth playing.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
