CRASH Online Games

Hey there guys, I was wondering what mmorpgs don't have online fees. I'm looking for current ones where people still play. Ive been out of the loop for a while. Any suggestions on what peopl are playing now online would be great. thanks.

Yea I'd like to know too. I heard Star Wars Galaxies was good/ok but nothing great. I played FFXI online and thought it was good/ok but not good enough to pay to play. I'd like to find a good mmorpg on pc. The only games I play online are socom2 and champions of norrath on ps2. If anyone plays any good ones postem, why they are good, and if there is a monthly subscription and how much it is.

all good/popular mmorpg's have monthly fee's the most popular at the moment are Dark Age of Camberlot, everquest, starwars galaxies and FFXI online and ones that are coming out soon are World of warcraft and Everquest 2.
The reason there are monthly fee's is because of server management, customer support (GM's/ Game masters) and patches/ updates and new material being added.

$10 a month, but really worth it..so is Dark Age of Camelot, but that also has a monthly fee.

I dont mind paying monthly fees if the game is good enough. Everquest was good but its so outdated. Everquest 2 is on the horizon later this year tho. It would probly be better to wait for that than thro all your time in leveling up on Everquest 1. Everquest 2 has June 04 release date.

I dunno man, Everquest Evolution just came out and for like 29.99 you get Everquest and 5 expansions (the only expansion not in there is Gates of Discord that was just releasesd) If you are for sure going to purchase EQ2 then I would wait, but if not I would definitely get Evercrack.
