Dungeons and Dragons Online - DDO.  Just went free to play.  You can probably get a few days enjoyment out of that.

Savage 2, not an mmo to be exact, but great rts/hack n slash/keep siege game none the less.

If your looking for an mmo strictly i'd say Shen Megami Tensi: Imagine

good game, but rarely discussed here for some reason.

Honestly Aion comes out in 5 days, seems like a waste to start up a new game before then :)

PWI (Perfect World International) is pretty good for a F2P, and if you play a winged elf, you can fly at level 1.

I'll be recruiting for my Final Fantasy XIV days and spending time on the forums until Aion is released. It's just a few days from now, I'm sure we can hold out for that long. And, at least we know the release date, lol, I remember in 2007, didn't know when Aion was getting released.

October 2008

May 2009

But, it was September 2009, yay

DDO

Runes of Magic

The Chronicles of Spellborn

All worth checking out to pass some time if you haven't played them yet in my opinion.

 I'm currently playing Command and Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars. Not an MMO but it keeps me occupied for the coming days before Aion.

"IRL is a pretty upstanding MMO with thousands of classes, a lot of PvP and even some pretty unique emotes and titles you can acquire. Explore that world first, then we'll talk about this virtual one."

It has to be Runes of magic, seems to be the best of the lot, in fact it is a very good game.

I found Perfect world and DDO to be awful games, best staying clear of those. :)

Or.....you could just relax for a few days. Kick back and watch a lil TV, get some well deserved rest, go shopping and stock up on beer and pizza for the big day! The only gaming I'm doing until Aion release is resetting my CoH Day Job locations, maybe play with the i16 power colors.

Wipe them out...ALL of them.

I would read up on the class you intend to play (if you've decided on a class that is).  If you haven't decided go read some more.  It's going to be pretty important I think to pick one toon and stick with it and not be wasting time trying out the classes.  I got all of the trying out of different classes during the beta's.  Also watch Aion videos on youtube.  There's tons of them to keep you interested in the short wait time we have left before launch.

I'm going to spend the next few days looking for stuff to sell so that I can afford to buy another game...

I'm just waiting for a F2P overhyped sandbox WoW clone with full PVP, epic raid bosses, instanced group content, and Crysis-quality graphics to come out. That, or something fun.

Will be mainly chilling and foruming it up.

 

Might squeeze some games of FS in also.

 

If anyone likes football (soccer to you guys across the pond) then check it out in my sig a Football MMO a great alternative to your mainstream MMO.

would also a recommend a read of the lore its a great read when you get into it and gives a good perspective from both sides.

The Book of Elyos

eu.aiononline.com/uk/about/lore/elyos/

 

The Book of Asmodians

eu.aiononline.com/uk/about/lore/asmodian/

 

Neither is at fault for what happened but both blame each other a nice take on the usual good and evil thing and very human in nature just because 1 doesnt understand the other or blames them for something they become enemy.

Sheesh, what a waste of precious time!

 

I say you should go buy a book!  Find a book at your local book store that has anything to do with Daevas and read up.  It'll make the atmosphere and lore a bit more personal.  You'll find objects and references hitting a bit closer to home. 

 

Me?  Well I'm cleaning the heck out of my house in order to sell it.  3-6 hours a day after I get home from work scrubbing and painting.
