I'd say your best bet is between Guild Wars and Vanguard.

No there isn't at the moment. They're working on a trial island-type thing though. That 30-days thing is with regards to a returning player promotion if I'm not mistaken.

Well, seeing as how this is an English-speaking website, it should have been implied I meant the English-speaking MMORPG market. 

Many Asians understand English too you know

I'd say Vanguard. You ever considered Everquest 2?

I'm sorry,

In my opinion, yes. Guild Wars appeals both to casual and hardcore gamers.

Firstly, you have 3 campaigns and an expansion. That's alot of PvE content to get through. It will take you a good deal of time to finish them all. Once you're done with them all with one character, the majority of people roll another character simply to try something different. Many end up enjoying it so much they play through the PvE content again.

In the process of doing this, you can work towards a good numbers of titles, which are for prestige and some even have some use. Also, there are plenty of Elite missions you can run as well as save up to buy high-end armor sets.

Apart from this, you still have the entire world of PvP to get into! I find it very, very addictive. I'm not usually a PvP-oriented person, but these days it's all I do in Guild Wars.

All-in-all, it's what you make of it. I've logged around 1450 hours in Guild Wars so far. Don't know if you can consider that hardcore, but yeah Hope you have fun.

Ah that's good, I'll join that server then! I'm really stoked to get playing now!

Congrats on getting your baby back

If Christians and Muslims were the same, they would be called the same thing, now wouldn't they?

A trial key only allows you a few hours of play. What use is that?

Guild Wars, because it's skill-based.

I think i registered the game the day it came out. I hope they improved the game since the NGE or it'll be a short lived run lol

they havent and im not trolling here the game is realy broken there are so many bugs that it would take a day to name it all and heres what the devs and mod said them self on official forums and its no lies they said that the game is to broken to fix up and the devs cant fix it so instead theyl add new small updates like wow and eq instances that take about 5 mins to finish and get loot with 24 hour lock out the game is realy bad over about a half years of updates all theyv done is add grind collections that give buffs and skills mounts so on and 4 instances witch are all almost 1-2 rooms with bosses on after another and you get set items that give 200+ stats so on you cant even enter a normal instance that hasint been added in the past months updates normaly without someone getting left out all the musty instances are broken all the old quests are pointless or broken
 

I've got a new friend for you! -> " . " He's right inside those quotation marks.

I've recently decided to pick up EQII, but now I'm a little worried. Is it really that hard to find a group or is the above-mentioned server not that bad?

Yes, really. Let's take those on my friends list and friends of friends' list for example. At launch there was at least 6 people playing, now those same people are still online regularly, but I only ever see 1 of them play AoC anymore. It really isn't rocket science.

Plus, even if Xfire isn't a proper representation of the gaming community as some say, the fact of the matter is that the majority of people who were logging into Xfire when AoC was launched are most likely still logging in now. As a result, at least between those (many) users, play hours are decreasing. There's no escaping that fact.

If I'm not mistaken, it's done via the Eve website. Players purchase game time cards, then other players can purchase these cards from them using in-game ISK. That way players with money get the ISK they want and players who don't want to pay can use their ISK to pay for playing.
