All browser MMOs suck. ;-)

Free Realms. Even though I don't play it now, I snuck it in a few times.

No need to waste your time on a mistress, while you can enjoy all the articles, community and drama that goes on with your main mmo. When you are at your real machine you fully enjoy the game itself.

Browser MMOs are horrible. So, I just come here and my other favorite hangout, MMORPG.com :D If I can't play em I'll talk and read about em instead. Makes me wish I got paid to forum surf, lol.

Puzzle Pirates! :)

Heh well I stopped playing properly a couple of years ago - now I just login during my lunch breaks to play Poker (with in-game money).

http://puzzlepirates.com

It's only 2D Java but it has some excellent collaborative, multiplayer features that do not exist in other games. I don't understand why no one else has copied the ideas and put them into a more "proper" 3D MMO!

I've been playing Runescape for almost 4 years.

Runescape is a pretty standalone mmo, and while it is indeed a browser one, it does not deserve a title of "second", being the top free to play title out there. It's actually a juggernaut of the f2p market..

While I do play runescape from time to time, for the above reasons, I would not call it a secondary. Adventure Quest, maybe, even though it's not really an MMO.

I played Runescape for 5 minutes. It was like the graphics on the old Super Nintendo (SNES), only with worse controls.

It shortened my life and lowered my self esteem, I can no longer look other humans in the eyes after those 5 minutes.

Spleenika, while I agree that the graphics may suck, it is a typical example for a game that does not need graphics to be good.
It is one of the very few skill based MMOs out there, covering a great range of pvp, crafting, dungeon crawling... I'd play it more if I had the time.

I've heard good things about Kingdom of Loathing from people I've played other MMOs with in the past. But I myself have never tried a browser-MMO. Probably never will.

Is Free Realms a browser-based MMO though? I thought that game ran with a standalone client.

I played Kingdom of Loathing solidly for a couple years, from 03-05. These days, it's mostly Forumwarz. (Emo Kid 4ever, yo.)

I have Eve hidden on my work computer. When everyone goes home, I start it up. If I can't really play at least I can hang.

Echo Bazaar (http://echobazaar.failbettergames.com/). Browser-based, Twitter-connected, vaguely steampunk-y grind game set in Fallen London -- a London stolen from the surface by bats, now run by a collective of mysterious merchants.
