I recently got into this football MMORPG, it turned out to be really fun and best of all its FREE.
you basically make a football player at any position get him signed to a team and level him up. You customize his attributes while you level and you can buy equipment to enhance stats. I figure it might appeal to others.

It takes less time to maintain then most flight paths.
enjoy.
