Good thing I never played WoW.....

Actually, there's a good reason I've completely dropped MMORPGs from my life. To play them well, competitively, you have no choice but to devote an ungodly number of man-hours to them. And you can't just hit "pause" and go take care of your chores, loved ones, etc.

I've reverted to an entirely single-player mode when it comes to computer games.

I never touched them because I refuse to pay a monthly fee to play a game, simple as that. Another reson is they´re all medieval/japanese fantasy or sci-fi.

I like playing in multiplayer, but usually against people I know already, either reallife or online friends.

Guild Wars is definitely the solution I think. I don't like paying a monthly fee...

Has anyone seen the instance where a guy murdered some one because he stole their online sword after he lent it to them? That is the kind of crazy things that online games can cause! Killed for a digital sword!
