interested in a monthly fee like WoW has.

Depends on what you liked about it. Not sure when Gothic 2 was
originally released, but that one was a great RPG with a very unusual
interface, and different playstyle from most other RPGs. Single
character, 3rd person over the shoulder. Lots of freedom in how to
play... The main quest seems to be less linear than Oblivion.

Same with Gothic 1, but it's a bit older. Still a great game, though.

Gothic 3 is expected out hopefully this year, I think. It should be
running against Ob for game of the year, if it improves on Gothic 2.

What other RPGs have you played that you liked?
