I Was looking around but I couldn't find any MMORPGs that supports 1680x1050, I know that World of Warcraft and Guild War supports this resis, but are there any other ones?

Those are the two I know of... They pretty much own the MMORPG scene anyways. I hope you have no life because thats what MMORPGS take from you IMO ^^

Check the games list at the top there (top of the wsgf page) see if FFXI or any other titles you can think of are on there and it has the widescreen support listed.

I checked myself FFXI does support it, and thats prob the 2nd biggest/best MMORPG out there.

Hmm well I cant think of any worthy game that doesnt require a monthly fee, I guess guild wars is the only one, but its not the same kind of MMORPG that the others are.

Only games so far that I have been able to use my WS with (just got mine as well) have been first person shooters, and those are probably the best kind of games for it anyways (well racing should be good, im still hunting for a good WS racing game)

Their list of top rated MMORPGS:

Use the games tab at the top to check if they have widescreen support.

ALL major MMORPGS except for Guild Wars charge a monthly fee but its not really a real MMORPG. (Guild Wars 2 is out to change that though)

I just looked at Guild War 1&2 on wiki, it sounds good :P . but I'm still confused, how is Guild War different from other MMORPGs? Also.. when I was reading the wiki on Guild War 2..

"Players of the current Guild Wars campaigns and the expansion will be allowed to "port" achievements obtained in the original Guild Wars to the Guild Wars 2 universe using a system known as the "Hall of Monuments". Player characters will not be transferable from the original trilogy, however."

what does it mean by campaigns and achievements can be port to the new game? Characters from the old game will not be transferable to the new games?

Guild Wars is just an online game on proprietary servers. It's not a "massive" online game where you play with hundreds and thousands of other placers in the same environment at once. It's more like Diablo, really.

If you just want to play some games for the "zomg grapfix" effect, don't bother with MMOs. They take a lot of time to get into and you need a lot of free time to really enjoy them.
