[Help] Finding a New Online game

I found Silk Road Online to be fun for a while. It's free, and as far as MMORPGs go it's fairly standard, but hey, for the price it's worth a try.

Also, more of an MMOFPS than RPG, but Planetside is another nice free one.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

This was reported a while ago, actually:

Sony Online Entertainment's MMOFPS title, PlanetSide, will soon feature a free-to-play service alongside its existing subscription tiers. Currently scheduled for Valentine's Day, the "Fodder Program" will allow free players full access to the game, but impose limits on their BattleRank and CommandRank, restricting their arsenal

Here's the link to the offer on the site itself: http://planetside.station.sony.com/reserves/

It's the full game (minus the stuff from the expansion of course), but you're limited to getting up to Battle Rank 6/Commander Rank 2 (compared to BR20/CR5 of the full version). Not a huge deal, since you get anything you want at that rank. I have to say that it's still pretty fun if you can get a good squad together, maybe if enough people are interested in it we could start a gaming session for it on specific days like our current BF2 group has.

The only catch is that the free/trial program ends March 24, 2007, so after that I assume you'll have to pay for it to keep playing. Still, 10 months of free playtime isn't bad.

How ya doing, buddy?
