Need an MMO to play for summer, but wait...

I'd only be able to play it about 2 hours a day maximum. I've played WoW for awhile before but I was wondering if there were any other good MMO's out there that would be good for that time slot. If WoW is the only choice I guess I'll go with that but I've heard good things about EVE online and age of conan and was wondering if those would be good choices? or maybe aion?

Gimee some good suggestions, some general things I'm looking for are:

A decent amount of players where the world won't feel "empty"

Some fun questing even before getting to end game

A good community

I'm in the same boat as you. I've looked into Age of Conan, but from what I hear the community is really dwindling at this point, despite the game being great. EVE online -- well, I've heard VERY mixed reviews about that. Some say it's great, some say it's terrible.

I've also looked into Everquest, which has a meh number of people still. However, the game apparently requires a TON of time to be put in to get any real joy out of it, despite the world being lots of fun to explore. I've had EQ II recommended to me by a few people who crave good PvE content, so I'll probably give that a shot. I've heard Aion is fun up until you hit the top level. Then it really becomes a major drag and gets very boring. Very, very boring.

Also, I'm checking out Lord of the Rings Online. Apparently that game is sick, but not as much PvE content as EQ II or EQ.

Apparently, you can play Age of Connan 100% free up to level 20. I'm thinking about checking it out myself. Its supposed to be improved a lot since its release.

Also, i've heard Aion is a MASSIVE grind, sounds like a pretty bad choice for someone with limited time.

LOTRO is a good choice, but you may want to wait until the fall when it goes free.

Any more opinions/suggestions guys?

Eve is not for you. With so little time available you would not get the most out of it. That is my input for the day :)wigan_gamer

yea thats what I was thinking

star trek online has been my addiction as of late

LOTRO is excellent. IMO

It isn't really a fantasy MMO, but I consider anything with leveling up to earn new content and clothes an MMO.

So I'll say Battlefield Heroes. It's a multiplayer shooter. It has no blood.And you don't need extreme system specs.

are these mmos free as ive been playing some on internet like evony and it constantly requires you to buy things using paypal to advance through some missions

You could play Guild Wars, that'd work good, especially since there's no monthly fee.
