If you wonder what type of role playing game may be correct for you, it's not that easy to answer. There is a lot of choice out there and differing types of games within the genre. Essentially, there are quite a few sub-genres. The best way to find the answer is to examine what the different sub-genres have to offer and decide for you.
Here we will strive to outline the different types of role playing games.
There are games out there that are online and free to play with others. The games within this sub-genre make their money via having items you can pay for, providing temporary buffs/bonuses to your character. Yet they're not needed to play the game, so it isn't really false advertising and they are free-to-play.
The polish of the pay to play Massive Multiple online is what this sub-genre lacks. Also, the community might not be as good. So these games can be hit and miss. These are a good option if you're tight on money, like interacting with others and are looking for something to kill some time with.
For example, the free-to-play Massive Multiple Online, there are: Maple Story, Arch Lord and we think you could count Guild Wars as being free-to-play. This is the exception to the polish rule and also the community one. You do however have to pay for the box/a CD key. You don't buy items in game though. There's also not much of a grind to reach the level cap for a character. To offset this, there's a sequel coming out and so once it's released, it might be harder to find people to group with. There's also not much of a grind to reach the level cap for a character.
These are more polished products and tend to be populated by a better community. Despite the community focus, most can be played solo like the free-to-play games. But you'd be missing out on a lot of content. These games work on a subscription basis after you've bought the box/paid for the CD key and client to download. So you'd need to pay every month to play the game. You can also choose to pay every 3, 6 and 12 months though.
Within this feature, the games are made up of Lord of the Rings Online, World of Warcraft, WAR Online, Ever-quest 2, Aion and a game that deserves quite a bit of praise for innovation, like EVE Online.
It isn't just the game-play of EVE that's innovative. Also the game designer's way of releasing expansion packs is unique. Most of the game makers would often charge an extra fee on top of the subscription one for Massive Multiple Online. Not so in EVE. You pay once for the game and then you are charged a monthly fee. Once this is done, you get every expansion released for free.
It is also unique because the game is nearly entirely player driven. Los of the stories are player driven and created by their interactions in space, and players can own entire solar systems. They're free to war with other alliances in huge battles, scam people and be pirates or to play the economy to achieve dominance. The economy is almost entirely player driven and there's a lot of crafting that can be done like building space stations.
As a matter of fact, EVE players inhabit a cut-throat world and the designers intended it that way. It's also innovative in the sense that you don't need to be logged in to advance your character so that part of the grind is gone. You are able to train skills even while offline.
