If you're looking for cheap yet great MMORPG, this is it.

User Rating: 8.5 | Guild Wars Factions PC
Guild Wars Factions is a stand-alone expansion to the original Guild Wars, which is not required to play Factions, but would give you access to a lot more content. The game is a MMORPG, but it's different from others, like World of Warcraft. Unlike WoW, there is no subscription fee, you only have to buy the game and have a good interent connection to play. Also unlike WoW, there are "instances"- when a player and his/her party leave a town or outpost, they get their own private copy of the game world, so there is no more spawn camping. Also, I personally think the graphics are better than WoW, but if you like WoW's cartoonish look, it's fine with me. Players have eight character classes to choose from when making a character, but you can also get a secondary class, letting you make lots of character combinations. Combat is simply clicking on an enemy and using skills, and movement is WASD or clicking the mouse.

Now, here are the game's problems: music, the map, and the storyline. The game has great music, but it is hard to hear because of sound effects and environmental noise, but this is not a major problem. The game's map is, however. The map shows a gigantic continent to explore. Sadly, you can only explore about half of the map, which is a huge disappointment. The game's biggest problem, though, is story. The voice acting is terrible, the cutscenes are poorly done, and there are a lot of gaps in the plot.

If you can get past this game's issues like I did, and are looking for a cheap yet satisfying MMORPG, then by all means try Guild Wars Factions.
