For those of us too cheap for World of Warcraft

I'm surprised I haven't written about this before. Do you know anyone who raves about how great World of Warcraft (or WOW for short) is? Wanted to try it but don't have the money, time or effort? That was my case, but I still wanted to play a game like it. What I found was Battleon.com. Its an online game that is along the lines of WOW. The only drawback is that you don't get to interact with other players and the whole game is 2-D. Besides that, its much quicker to get a hold of than WOW is.

If you're going to try it first, play on the free server only. It may take you a few tries to get in (the server holds only so many people.) If you like it and want to play it a lot more, I highly recommend you pay the Guardian fee. Its a one time payment of $20 or $25. That lets you get in whenever you want and you can get cooler stuff.

The best part is, you can play this over your lunch break. Log in, battle a monster, then log out. You just spent maybe 5 minutes doing that. Its quick and simple. There's so much to do as well. Right now I'm a Level 54 Guardian and I haven't even touched 85% of the quests. This game could be worth it if you're someone like me.

No trackbacks.

guild wars is not bad but I find most MMOs to be redundant and unfun..maybe it was FF11 that killed my interest in MMOs...I was just a happy player before then....... >>

BTW is it me or do most RPGs now adays mimic MMOs in the unfun weapon designs and draggy combat?
