I'm gonna give Anarchy Online a shot this next weekend since it's older than Guild Wars and not as intense graphics. It's another free online game now. I hear Everquest II now is offering free online play as well. I wish they would open up Star Wars Galaxies to be free as taht's my favorite but that $15 a month sub fee is just too much.

Won't notice extensive differences between MMO's, as graphic files, animations and sound are always stored client side, while merely dynamic objects (i.e. player-/non-player-chars), respectively their positions, are transmitted from server. Otherwise games like UO or EQ had not worked when we still played on Pentium pc's with dial-in connections.

I was really quite surprised as I took it to work over the weekend (two 12 hour days) and I only ended up using a little over 500mb in those two days. I even played Guild Wars with it and it hardly eats up a lot of mb's. I did stream some golf though and that's where the biggest portion of usage came out. It was eating a mb per 15 seconds. I also downloaded a lot of updates and patches so that ate a lot of mb used up as well. I should do all that updating using my home computers dsl line as there's no limit on it. I wanted to give it a good test run though.

If I can't watch streaming football I can certainly play Guild Wars all I want looks like and hey how many others get paid while playing games at work all day? What a life what a wonderful life.

Dungeons & Dragons Online is free to play. Lord of the Rings Online soon will be. And the upcoming World of Tanks is a lot of fun.. should be out in the next couple months.
