Alright, here's the story. I have 50 dollars in my pocket ready to be wasted on a game. I was going to buy WAR(warhammer online) but the motherfucker at gamestop said he had no time cards for it.

Fuck, what's the point of buying the game if I won't be able to play it? I don't have a credit card so time cards are my only viable option. Which is why I come to you.

Can you recommend me a game, more like an mmorpg that you like. I know the options are few and some of you will say WOW but please, no WOW.

I just need something that will keep me hooked for the next few months. Im waiting for starcraft 2,guildwars 2, and bioshock 2 and I was planning to play WAR until that time.

Thanks for the help and please, I need to waste these 50 dollars lol.

Do NOT, for the love of GOD, buy WAR. NEVER. EVER. EVER.

My friend wasted 80 bucks on it and he CRIED because he said it was by far the shittiest game on earth. People had no idea how to play their class properly (Hmm, Mages trying to kill people with melee in a battlefield? Genius!) and the game patches every day.

There's no evil satisfaction from killing lowbies because you become a chicken if you do. There's no satisfaction of going into a battleground at level x9 and killing level x0 because they buff the x0's stats to ABOVE your level to make it "fair".

If you HAVE to play an MMO but can't stand WoW, go play some cheesy Korean MMO, there's tons of them.

If you're looking for an MMO play UO or Ragnarok, both far better than new-age MMO's in my opinion. Far more manly in terms of difficulty, that's for sure. Although... Ragnarok won't solve your $50 problem, because it's free to play now.

I don't think you can argue for WAR being even close to a better game than WOW, what's wrong with WOW?

Fallout 3 is probably the best choice possible right now.

Fallout 3
Red Alert 3
Gears of War 1/2
Guild Wars 1
Ultima Online (best mmo imo)
Mass Effect

Here's where I will once again throw down for TES III Morrowind. That game wil keep you occupied for so long! Plus it's so abusable that you will just be like "fuck yeah! I killed an Ordinator and used its armor to buy hella stat point increase!"
