I dont have the same amount of time in my adult life to justify spending money on an mmo i will most likely not be able to use every day, anyone got any good suggestions?
Some of the older Malaysian MMOs are still pretty good, and usually free. Perfect World International and its sister game Forsaken World are both pretty good. Same company made the D&D MMO "Neverwinter" which is pretty good, has some great gameplay mechanics at least.
I have stopped playing MMOs hardcore, but every now and then I go back and spend a few hours in Elsword, Maplestory, Nostale and Realm of the Mad God, for nostalgia. They are fairly old, though, so their gameplay could or could have not aged well.
