A MMORPG is Massive Multiplayer Online Game. In these games that you play online on internet, you interact with thousands of people, for a common goal, socialization, in a virtual world. Here players assume the role of a fictional character and his actions in a persistent world that continues to exits and evolve even when the player is away from the game. 

With the launch of World of Warcraft, the mmorpg that has the highest players database at this point ( 10 million at the last count ), this genre of games, received a lot of publicity and many people of all ages, started to join mmorpgs for fun, socialization, adventure.

Where to start your mmorpg gaming adventure? Well if you have a little experience with this genre, i recommend you first to try a few free ones. They are tons out here, but some of them have less features, and probably a medium graphics engine, because they have low funds to sustain them. Some of them keep the free subscription, but they have shops with high end items, or special items for players to buy, thus they get money to sustain the servers, and get a small-medium profit from it.

At some point you will move to P2P mmorpg. P2P means Pay 2 Play, basically you pay a subscription every month, between 5$ to 14.99$, depending on the quality of the game and his features. Of course most of this P2P mmorpg have a trial for you to try, without paying, usually between 7 to 14 days of free trial, for you to see if you like the game, and if you would like to subscribe you can continue from where you started. This is highly recommended before subscribing to a new mmorpg.
