Games I play

Maple Story, FlyFF, and Lunia.

Maple Story I apsolutely love. Its a side scrolling MMO. Leveling is fast at first, then slows down a bit unless you learn to do the party quests. Its free to download, but you can pay for cash shop items. The cash shop items dont do much. Most of them are more of less skins for the equipment you wear, but they expire after a certain amount of time. Theres also cupons like skin care cupons, hair style cupons, and the like, which can perminently change the look of the character reguardless of the equipment. Then there is the pets, which can pick up items for you if you get a cash shop item that it can equip. The pets expire after a while too, and they die if you dont feet them. But its funny to give them different commands.

FlyFF is a 3D MMO thats also totally free. I just started it, but the graphics are bright and charming. Fighting is fairly straightforward. Most enemies wont attack you unless you attack them first. There are exceptions though. Beware any creature whose name is displayed in red because they will attack if you get too close. There are monsters appropriate for every level of character that I've seen, but you may have to travel a bit to get to them. Mundane equipment and healing items drop frequently, so dont be shy about using them if you have to.

Lunia is an MMO from the same people who made Maple Story. Its Beta testing just finished, but I wasnt in it, so I dont know what its like to play yet. Its described as an action MMO, and looks like consecutive hits on enemies open the door to bigger damage. Apparently, from what I can gather from the movies posted, enemys' health bars are displayed, which is helpful. It also appears that characters have "lives," which I guess just let you get back up after their HP has reached 0.
