I found a free to play MMO off Steam called Realm of the Mad God. It has just about the simplest sign-up process ever as after you load the game you don't need to sign-up for an account, they just start you in a zone to teach you the game and you play it.

Immediately I felt at home because of the retro graphics and simple controls. Seriously, this game is pretty simple and its a refreshing experience. You start out as the Wizard class and its a fun class to play. You can unlock other classes by playing the game. Yesterday I unlocked the Priest class.
One thing you need to know is that death is permanent. I died a few times but once you get used to how it all works, staying away from death isn't too bad. I did find that since death is permanent I was playing it safer than I do in other games. I only made it to level 5 and its not hard to get back to that level.
Check it out, its fun a best of all: free.

I played this for a few days, and it was fun, but I thought it was a bit simplistic to hold my attention. I think it would be better if I had some buddies to play with though.
I found some people and followed them. I had to ensure that I was quick enough to keep up though. At one point everyone in the realm spawned in some special dungeon. It was crazy, imagine a few hundred people in a corridor shooting at the same time. Nuts.
I made the mistake of moving outside the swarm and was killed instantly. Fun.
I'll have to try it out again some time. Out www fast paced, which has always been one of my sticking points with MMOs
