I want to play them but, since I have a crappy computer,no high speed internet and no money; I can't play them :(

I'm buying Star Wars Galaxies with my next paycheque.

Most of my friends have it. I love it. You can play 8 different species and 30 professions. It's about USD$15/month for an account, but I think it's well worth it. The servers are really good as far as uptime and speed go.

There's a lot of small details that make the game great.
I'll give you a link. http://starwarsgalaxies.station.sony.com/index.html

I used to play Ragnarok Online before you had to pay for it. It's basically Diablo with anime sprites. If you look hard enough, you can find a hacked version that'll let you play for free. The security is really poor. It gets hacked on a weekly basis.

I don't because I'm a cheapskate.

If I did, I'd try Anarchy Online or Asheron's Call 2.

i have galaxies, but i am having MASSIVE computer trouble getting it to run. also, when it does let me play, i find that i suck at it. so far all my character can do is deliver packages from one part of town to another for minimal financial gain.

i have not yet figured out how to enjoy the game, although i'm sure that it will be great when i am not such a hopless n00b.

I played Runescape for a while :lol:

As far as I'm concerned, MMMORPG's are not worth the money. I play my RPG's by myself and have lots of fun doing it, thanks.

I found the easiest way to start was to be a scout (mind you, I haven't played as much as my friends have, but it takes a little reading).
If you're a scout, you can take on the easy creatures around cities (on Tatooine atleast), like lesser womp rats, rills, and the other other thing I'm probably forgetting. The little toady thing.
Then when you kill it, harvest its bones/hide, and use the crafting apparatus in your inventory to make a camp or a trap. You get experience for killing it, harvesting its bone/hide, and for constructing something. You can hotkey the traps and throw them in combat.
