With the launch of World of Warcraft, the MMOG that has the highest players database at this point ( 9 million at the last count ), this genre of games, received a lot of publicity and many people of all ages, started to join MMOGs, for fun, socialization, adventure.

Where to start your MMO gaming adventure? Well if you have a little experience with this genre, i recommend first to try a few free MMOGs.
They are tons out here, but they have low quality gameplay, and features, because they have low funds to sustain them. Some of them keep the free subscription, but they have shops with high end items, for players to buy, thus they get money to sustain the servers, and get a small profit from it..

At some point you will move to P2P MMOGs. P2P means Pay 2 Play, basically you pay a subscription every month, between 5$ to 14.99 $, depending on the quality of the game and his features. Of course most of this P2P MMOG have a trial for you to try, without paying, usually between 7 to 14 days of free trial, for you to see if you like the game, and if you would like to subscribe you can continue from where you started. This is highly recommended before subscribing to a new MMOG.
