Just a couple points:
[*] All MMORPG's give you a free trial month, and some (e.g. Asheron's Call 2, Anarchy Online, Shadowbane, Neocron) let you download the client for free and play for 7-10 days, so they really are risk-free. Personally, I create a new AC2 trial account every few weeks to see how the game is doing, because I think it shows a lot of promise.
[*] Shelf prices for MMORPG games and expansions tend to drop rapidly after the initial release. For example, you can get DAoC plus its first expansion for $14.99 now, Everquest plus the first five expansions for $29.99, or Anarchy Online plus its first "booster pack" and first expansion for $29.99.

Quote:Oh no , I didn't mean it had to be a fully functional Single Player game -- more like a Demo / Introductory package that could suck me in and leave me wanting more ;)Has anyone mention Neocron yet? It offers a downloadable "tutorial".
