World of Warcraft is cheaper then FFXI and doesnt require you to hunt for a party, and with the new expantion just around the corner its an ideal time to pick it up and start leveling, if you decide to do this let me know and I can help you out.

as for old school RPG's Lunar the Silver Star Complete is a great game but doesnt come cheap (think my copy cost about £45-60) its on the playstation and wont play on a PAL PS so if you live in the EU (like me) then you will have to play it on an emulator.
