http://www.pathofexile.com Anyone here heard about path of exile? It's a free to play action rpg, in the style of diablo 1 and 2. It's currently not released but closed beta starts soon, and it actually looks like it might be a better successor to diablo 2 than diablo 3, which of course has the WoW art style.
It has a skill gem system reminiscent of ff7's materia system, and is pretty cool. At first I thought this would be interesting to play till diablo 3 comes out, but now it's looking like I'll play it MORE than d3. It's free to play and funded by what the developers call 'ethical microtransactions.' these are ingame graphical improvements, which have no effect on your character in terms of strength, but make it look cooler. For example, pay a dollar and get a dragonheaded fireball, or 2 bucks for a crow which follows you around and pecks out the eyes of the enemies you kill. This means you won't get any ingame advantage from paying, but can still have boasting power and a more badass character than your friends.
