online or no? morrowind is a great solo game; if you are looking for multiplayer, i really like guild wars. if you are looking for something more recent than morrowind, i'm not sure. the sequel to morrowind, oblivion, is definitely on my to-buy list when it comes out, check out the elder scrolls website for info about both morrowind and oblivion. nice thing about guild wars (aside from very nice graphics and low system requirements) is that there is no monthly fee.

all I know is that final fantasy 11 is horrible I wasted $100 for the ps2 one and then the monthly fee is outrageous and the game isn't that great you don't even get to pick what server you are on. stick with morrwind or guild wars like they say.

There are a bunch from which you can choose from. If your looking for a free online play then you could go for Guildwars, but if you dont mind spending X amount of dollars per month 2 that you could look at are Matrix Online, or World of Warcraft. I play Guildwars, it was pretty good, buts its repetitive.

Phantasy Star Online Blue Burst is a fun RPG to play, it is kind of incomplete as Sega is still patching the game with new quests and they just added episode 4. There is still a lot to do though and all of classes are there plus they added some new features that the console versions did not have. There is only a monthly fee of $8.99 but you get a 14 day trial, requres a credit card though.

Check it out at psobb.com

I tried out Rose Online for awhile -- it's decent and free, but I just couldn't get into a mmorpg.

You should try out Phantasy Star Online: BB I play it as you can see from my name (wasnt feeling very creative at the time). It isnt massively multiplayer in the fact that only 4 people can be in a game at one time.

Star Wars genre Knights of the Old Republic...

Orginial and Sith Lords the first one (orginal) maybe more interesting, second (sith lords) has more stuff tho. But the first one is like only 20 dollars, pretty good deal.

This isn't, really, what you asked but I'm waiting for 2 games.
Oblivion and Dreamfall.
The first is an RPG.
The second is a hybrid but it comes close to being the game that will let you do everything (3 characters!) and so an RPG by default but with FPS as well.
Funcom swears their game will run just fine on a 9800 pro and Bethesda says they want their game to run well on anything that will run HL2.
As for me, come fall I'm going to make one last upgrade,the best graphics card I can afford (and if my preference, ATI, wants to be in the running they'd better have a shader 3.0 AGP card out) and then I start on my next build.

I just started Neverwinter Nights + Expansions. Good D&D stuff. I can already tell I'm gonna spend many hours with this one. It will keep me occupied until Oblivion comes out.
