REVIEW: 'EverQuest', 'Warcraft' Polished

If my experiences with two new massively multiplayer online role-playing games have taught me one thing, it's that if I really wanted, I'd never have to interact face-to-face with another person again. I have all the friends and enemies I can handle thanks to "EverQuest II" and "World of Warcraft."

A word of warning to anyone new to the genre: these games require a lot of time and money to fully enjoy. There's no "game over" screen, and the goal is personal growth, not a high score.

Think of them as neverending virtual fantasies where you and thousands of other players, similarly sitting in front of computers, can interact and take part in a larger, overarching story.

But with Guild Wars, the " require a lot of money " is gone.
A word to gamers: if mmorpg is the only genre you ever loved, there is no fear in playing this kind of game. As a matter of fact, you do not need to buy another game because there is no ending to this kind of game. Think of World of Warcraft as the last warcraft game ever to be released because there is no ending.

One final important warning: You will lose your social life if you play mmorpg.
