Thinking of getting into Online Gaming. Any suggestions?

Question

I'm a gamer. But never played online games before. I'm thinking of starting.
Any suggestion?
What are some good and popular online games out there?
Which one should I choose?
And how do I start?
Do I have to register, or install anything?

And I don't want to play any dead games, meaning those online games that are not popular and no one play it anymore.

I also prefer if I could connect or communicate with the players.

Thanks.
Also, what games are you playing nowadays?

P/S: I'm a PlayStation and PC gamer. The last game I played was Dead Space (not sure how that helps). And I'm NOT into those Counter Strike type of games. You know, the authority going against terrorists, or any war games.

Answer 1

I say World Of Warcraft. Runescape and everquest are dead. There is the downside of having to pay the monthly fee to play WoW but think about it like this: for most americans its $15 a month. Break it down and if you just get 1 less coke out of the vending machine a day you all ready paid for it.



Come over to the Whisper wind server on the horde side and ill help with any game questions you have. Theres a lot to take in at first but once you get the basics down the rest is easy. If your fast at leveling I can even get you into raids with my guild. My name is Aganor if you decide to join up.



If you do get WoW you should buy the battle chest first with the original game and the first expansion The Burning Crusade. That will enable you to play the 2 extra races added. When your higher level then you can go get the latest expansion that came out a few months ago The Wrath Of The Lich King.



As far as connecting with other players there are voice options in the game and several guilds use a outside cleint to chat called Vent. My guild The Legion Of Blood has over 60 members and we are allied with another guild that has somewhere around 75...I think. Anyways Good Luck with your choice and happy gameing.

Answer 2

Online games are awesome, and if you like fantasy I can recommend World of Warcraft and Warhammer. Both have to be purchased and have a monthly subscription fee.



WoW is the biggest online game in the world with something like 9 million players, and it offers the option to use a headset and microphone to communicate with others.



I don't know much about other types of games though :P

Answer 3

Heres what I think... Online games have me addicted and they just suck the time away but they are fun...

So if you looking for a good online game you will need to download it. Then the question is are you willing to pay for the game.

If not try this game

cabal.ogplanet.com

its a free MMORPG and it has quite a lot of players playing. Its a fun game where you can do quests, join/create guilds, fight monster, and PvP (if you choose to, ppl cant kill you unless you accept PvP duel against them). Its kind of like WoW but free. If you do create an account on this game send me a msg on yahoo answers, and I will help you!
