runescape
RuneScape, World of Warcraft, Evony, and DragonFable are some online RPG's.
there is no "contract" in minecraft like in RPGs like runescape membership. minecraft is a 1 off payment, around £15 i think. after which it is fully updateable and will never cost you anything again.
No ... math-skills can help in RPGs that involve a lot of number crunching, but most RPGs have options in place, like auto-leveling and things that help you have fun without having to compute numbers. I would stay away from hardcore Dungeons and Dragons games, like the Neverwinter Nights series. Those games have a steep learning curve, especially if you aren't familiar with D&D game mechanics. But there many kinds of RPGs out there, it's a very versatile genre. You want to look at hack & slash action RPGs, or Japanese-style RPGs (like the Dragon Quest or Final Fantasy series), or even puzzle RPGs like Puzzle Quest.
What i think as a great RPG is a game that keeps you playing for a really long time when it has those ups and downs and make you want to be the highest level. RPGs that I like are Destiny, Warframe
Runescape is renowned as the best free rpg, and very easy to set up with no downloads neccesary http://tpmrpg.net/signup.php?s=3443
Are RPGs easily confused with CBUs?
