Like for example, like instead of paying each month for EQII or City of Villains, is there not a game that you can only pay ONCE & not every month? I need a game w/ a similar premise where I can make a female character be a villainess. Any ideas?

There are some with lifetime subscriptions but that probably not what your looking for (Lord of the Rings Online for example). There are also some free mmo's out there but usually you have to be a paying member to be competitive or buy online items (search "free mmo"). If your just wanting a chat with a bit of rpg aspect there are rpg communities in second life (or so I've heard). There's also atleast one open source mmo out there called Planeshift but not sure how good it is.

From a strictly alignment point of view, most mmo's don't have good and evil, just sides. The closest thing to that I know of was the old EQ. If you played an iksar everyone hated you and you were kos (kill on sight) at just about all cities.

Anyway, what are you looking for specificaly, game play, an rpg'rs hang out or something else?

Yeah, & I know there is Guild Wars, but I am not into that. I have tried Planeshift & as I said in another post, it was very frustrating, 'cause it was too buggy, my quests would not progress because something that was supposed to happen in order to get to the next step did NOT happen, etc. I get frustrated easily, unfortunately. Again, I wish EQII & CoV would just be a one lifetime payment thing. I wonder if D&D online would have good/bad sides, do they?

No clue on D&D online, kept meaning to try it but never did. Just looked it up and its got a banner that says "Unlimited Free Play" on the home page. Not sure if that's a bad sign for that game or not but I cant think of why it would be a good sign.

I don't have the bandwidth atm to play an mmo but you got me curious so I hunted down a youtube review of it.

:arrow: D&D online Youtube.

Haven't played D&D Online, but my understanding is that it's based on the D&D v4.0 ruleset, which means your alignment runs along a continuum from Good (equal to the old Lawful Good, in the 3x3 matrix that was used before) to Evil (equal to old Chaotic Evil). Since it's a computer-run MMO, I'd guess that its alignment system has only the five stops listed in the Player's Handbook (Absolutely Good, Good, Neutral, Evil, Absolutely Evil).
