    I am disabled.I'd like to find a free online game to occupy my time.Two that I have looked at are Entropia and Evony.Other than sites like Pogo,I haven't played any online games.Oh,I did try Second Life but i had hardware issue with my old pc that made that game suck.Then my account got deleted,dunno how.They ask me to pay a fee to get back on, so I dumped it.Anyone got any ideas.I'm not really into shooters or fighting,but I'll try anything that doesn't cost me.

    Oh,I am running Windows Vista Basic 32 bit,1.6 gb intel processor,2 gb memory,and what ever graphics an Acer Aspire 3690 has.I plan to switch to Mint 10RC Julian soon.16mb cable internet.Still slow as hell,but it's almost the fastest offered in my area.Next and fastest speed is 25mb

    You can try DDO, has two downloads, one with worse graphics for slower PCs.

    It's a fun game, some stuff is P2P but you can get around it, there are some guides around, basically you can buy the P2P stuff with in game money afaik.
    It just takes more work.

    I suggest guild wars you have to pay to buy it and there a 3 games all play as stand alone games or you can link the 3 together on one account.
    Each game is its own big map i think you can get all 3 as a bundle for £30 ish.
    number two is coming out next year i think but what you achieve in number one can get past to number two if you have the expansion called eye of the north.there are no monthly fees though.its will run on old pc's too and the graphics are pretty nice.i know its not exactly free but i thought maybe you would be intrested as there is no monthly fee.

    I must admit, League of Legends is pretty good for being a free port of DOTA/HON.
