So the last week or 2 I've been messing around with http://www.runescape.com
It has a quite sizable free section and a vastly broader pay section ($5/month). The whole game runs in a Java Craplet so the graphics are 3d but definitely leave something to be desired. The primary benefit, it operates in a web browser which is easy to hide at work, it runs via the standard open ports so our firewalls don't block it, and it is pretty addictive.
I ended up paying for the monthly subscription so that I could play where there were less 13 year olds running around yelling "NOOB!!!!!!!1" at everything that moves.
So, anybody out there playing this? It doesn't quite compete with the box MMORPG games out there but it isn't bad for a daytime, time-waster.
