World of Warcraft

• "World of Warcraft," or WoW, is an MMORPG that allows you to choose from different races, such as elves and dwarfs, who can become warriors, fighters, priests, or healers. You go on quests and join raiding parties to defeat difficult bosses and get new items such as armor and weapons. Although you might experience lagging due to a slow dial-up connection, you can still play WoW on dial-up.
  
  

MapleStory

• "MapleStory" is a side-scrolling MMORPG that allows you to create avatars, characters that represent you, and go on quests and interact with other people. You can explore the town, get items and even creatures who become companions. You can chat with other people you meet and make friends. "MapleStory" is a 2D game, so the less intense graphics mean there will be less lagging on AOL dial-up.
  
  

Risk Your Life

• "Risk Your Life" is a 3D MMORPG, like WoW. You can choose from a variety of classes when creating your character; you will go on missions and side-quests in order to obtain new items and weaponry and learn spells. The special effects are impressive in the game. Because it's a 3D game, lagging may occur, but overall game play should not be impacted by having dial-up.
  
  

Mitigate Lagging

• Online 3D games and games with a larger platform will sometimes suffer from lagging due to a slow dial-up connection. When you play an MMORPG, first close out all other tabs and unnecessary operations that can slow the game down even more. This will improve your experience playing an MMORPG through AOL dial-up.
