    RoseZA is filled with awesome people, from their Dev/GM (admins) and Thriel (Big Boss )
    Whilst I was playing there was still developments going on (not to sure if its still carrying on)
    If you have queries, loads of in game help. If you can't get help there they have their own channel on mIRC.
    Seriously loads of fun but there were a few things that got me:
    So my cons:
    They hosted by MWEB (I'm with Telkom) so the peering issue would make it seem like an Int game to me.
    At the time I was playing there was huge imbalances amongst the classes (but in their defense they continually did updates to try fix that)
    I couldn't get past the kiddie look of the characters
    Pro:
    Always adding new content to keep the game up to date and fresh
    Loads of things to work for (armor/weps/vehicles/clan lvls/pvp gear)
    Awesome community

    Guild Wars was my first MMO and still love it to this day.
    My opinion, the true experience if your looking between GW and Rose would be Guild Wars as a main game to focus on and then Rose as mer fun of things. Wouldn't recommend doing both at once though, as interface of the two are different and can take time adjusting

    I'm also with Telkom and have experienced minimal lags. You might want to try both servers, they have local and intl. now and they recently released a patch which provided much balancing to the classes.

    I guess I am a bit late to the party (been seriously preoccupied), but WoW gets my vote.

    This is largely due to it being very noob friendly, and that it caters to a lot of different playstyles. However, I would like to point out the terrible community at large, but that can be worked around depending.

    Guild Wars is also a good start, but I always find myself on the fence regarding whether or not it is a "real" MMO, but please, let's not get into that.

    I have hated, loved, loathed, and adored WoW, but somehow I always seem to go back to it. Cataclysm has also spruced up the game a good deal, making the "old" content much more enjoyable.

    At the end of it all find a game with a large community (means more opportunities for interesting things to happen), and a game that has a varied amount of content, such as PvE / PvP content.

    Have fun! Usually your first MMO is your best... sigh...
