Dungeons & Dragons Online Now Free For All
Dungeons & Dragons Online's Freedom Dated
What's New In Dungeons And Dragons Online: Eberron Unlimited

It's free so must be worth a shot. ( even though Freemium has never really worked well for me in the past)

I hope not. The current definition is just fine. (playing... for free.)
Ah, but I keed the Fernando.

Wizard perhaps? Sorceror?

The right class to reference would be Sorcerer.

Unless you were meaning something else by this.

Once again, Ultima Online was centuries ahead of its time.

Ultima Online was the first MMORPG, and was actually worthy of the RPG part. SWG also, though SOE mishandled it like a drunk surgeon with Parkinson's.

That's the problem inherent to WoW and the whole fixed-questline mechanic. It ceases to be an RPG and becomes RPG: The Ride, and the playerbase new to MMORPGs that WoW has attracted is stuck in this mentality that everything has to be static and linear and that the unexpected is bad, surprises are bad, anything that interferes with the scheduled XP grind is bad.
It's ludicrous. Much like socks undermine the point of sandals, staticity undermines the very point of the "MMO" part.
At the same time, WoW's success encourages other MMO developers to follow the same design in order to attract these players (who will not leave, since that would be a change) and publishers want a "WoW killer" and expect to attract equivalent playerbases.
Then you consider that UO was originally built with 100 000$ over the course of a year and is still running 12 years later.
Makes me want to spit.

WAR, despite its' flaws, does a half-decent job of game-changing events with their Keep system. Although it's not permanent, the whole community on your factions' side has to work together to achieve major altering changes to your home cities and when assaulting enemy cities.

It's not at all like WoW. It's a lot like playing old D&D, it's all about the dungeon crawling with friends.
I enjoyed the combat much more than WoW's.
