… without any updates.

I did resume playing Company of Heroes, and went back to World of Warcraft where i finally leveled up my druid to level 85 (after switching from Tauren to Worgen). I also got into Starcraft 2 of course, and more recently World of Tanks. While not being a MMO per se, it is a fast paced series of battles where your tanks improve and level up with experience acquired on the field. At least in that game tactics matter a lot for every skirmish, and there is no lag, no subscription and still the capability to save ramp up time by spending money to jump start your levels (the Lowe heavy tank is characteristic of what somme players called pejoratively wallet warrior – i do not know why they see that as pejorative, as without the money of these wallet warriors, the game probably would have folded already..). Freemium is a great business model, I think, regardless of what players going the time route say!.
