    I've been getting bored with my games lately so I need a new one to keep me from going crazy because of boredom. If anyone knows a good online game, please post a link to it.

    What sort of online game?

    Online games range from Runescape and World of Warcraft to Hellgate London and Battlefield 2142.

    I guess something like and mmorpg. I've been playing games like Rappelz and FlyFF recently. Probably something along those lines.

    Ok, here's a couple off the top of my head:

    Shaiya - relatively new Korean MMO
    Fury - a player vs player MMO
    Guild Wars - good, but has monthly fees
    2moons - a high action, Diablo-like MMO

    Edit: My bad, Guild wars doesn't have a monthly fee but you have to buy the game.

    I thought guild wars didn't have a month subscription fee. Mine didn't when I played until I got bored of it.

    GunZ:The Duel is a pretty decent game if you like first person shooters, albeit a bit long in level wise and you'll find some hackers. The gun system is pretty interesting, and using swords only is a viable option if you become skilled in K- or D-style. K style is for swords mainly, as D style is for daggers. Kodachi (the third melee type, is slightly faster then swords but more damage then daggers) users mostly use K style as they are too slow for D style.

    Ijji has other games as well, but this is the only one I played so far.

    Yeah, that is the whole point of GW, that it doesn't have monthly fees.

    World of Warcraft is the one that has the fees.

    I got sick of WoW after a week and Gunz made me hurl at the graphics. Rakion is an improved version of Gunz and Hero won't send me a verification e-mail or let me log in to resend it.

    Don't get Guild Wars the only way that you can play it nowadays is if you start off in the expansions AND are a lvl 20 right away; no-one plays the original or 1st expansion anymore.

    What are talking about? GW still has tons of people playing it, including the original game.

    And there is only 1 Guild wars expansion, which just came out a few months ago, and three games, each of which has more then enough people...

    I myself just bought Nightfall recently, I've never had any problem finding people that are playing.

    My little brother did that last month.

    But ok, you're right, Prophecies doesn't have that many people anymore. It's the oldest one.

    Nightfall definitely has enough people to play, and EoTN has more people then I'd like.

    I heard The Witcher was good if you ignore the time it takes to load.

    I would suggest Call of Duty 4, if you like first person shooters. Graphics are hot, it's easy to play, and their's a level system with rewards and mods for your guns. Makes it more interactive and gives you something to strive for in comparison to Call of Duty 2. I have a clan on that so if you needed any help you could just pop onto my teamspeak and I'd help you out.

    I still remember playing CoD 1 when it first came out... Back when I had a good computer that could actually play the game XD. Still my favourite fps game, though I haven't played the other ones, for lack of a good computer.

    If you want a good fps game I always find enjoyment in Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory. It's an oldie but it still kicks ass, and what could be more fun than mindless slaughter during WW2? Good thing is, if you have even a half decent comp and a fast internet connection you can play it on full graphics with little to no bother.
