Decent browser RPGs

Okay, everyone knows to avoid Evony by now. What, if any, free browser-based games, preferably RPGs (which Evony isn't, though that's just one of many, many knocks against them), are worth playing? I see ads (here and elsewhere) for so many different ones that it gets confusing to even try to pick one to try out.

I tend to prefer party-based, not massively multiplayer, games with a significant exploration element, and at the moment I'm looking for one that would just be a good way to kill 20-30 minutes once in a while, so something that's just difficult enough to be interesting is in order. I don't want anything trivially easy, nor really hardcore.

But those are just my default settings, if the word of mouth on something is good enough I'd be willing to give it a shot even if it deviated considerably from the above description.

Hi jeffh - I found your post via google search so I thought'd I'd help you out. I'm the creator of a new game called "Hero Mages" - a turn-based strategy game where you command your own party of fantasy heroes and pit them against your opponent. We just debuted the game at GenCon Indy 09 this year and it was a big hit with fans of RPGs looking to try something different. Hero Mages has got everything you're looking for- it runs in browser, can be played by up to 4 players, has quick game sessions (avg 25 minutes), and its free to play. We've got a great community of players, the most polite and sportsmen like gamers I've ever seen- and we'd be happy to have you join us!

Our website is www.heromages.com

I came across this thread on google as well. It looks like it has been a while but if If you like text based browser games I would try Lyrania. It has a decent sized player base and active admins who are continually updating the game. You can fight mobs, join a guild, build a house, and much more. It looks like I am not allowed to post links yet, so feel free to message me if you have any questions regarding the game.
 

There is one that I used to play a while ago called Ancient Anguish it's at anguish.org... sorry, the thingie won't let me post a link. It is a really good text based game... I should play it again now that I have internet again. :erm:
