Been feeling the itch to get into an mmorpg. Hard to tell if there's any good ones out. Seems some in the works but what is good this currently available?

My context: was huge into EQ2 for a long while. Loved Rift. Played AION. Didn't really get into WOW but played it a tiny bit.

I like crafting and love the idea of building my house and world. One if the things I loved most about rift was building my dimension. I had HOOOOUUURRRS into it with some very cool stuff.

Anyway... what if anything is anyone playing. It feels like that genre is currently in a drought.

not so much a drought as people getting burnt out on cash shop and gamble box shenanigans

out of the top tier, it’s been pretty much status quo for awhile now

  • thanks to Blizzard, World of Warcraft really shouldn’t be an option
  • Final Fantasy XIV
  • Guild Wars 2
  • Elder Scrolls Online
  • Lord of the Rings Online

Massively agree with gw2.

Overall good costumer practices (not perfect). Buy to play, no worries that time is running out and you need to grind like a maniac for the next days...

Great community and story.

WOW is algo a good option, if you're going to a private server. Those seem more fun honestly and less bullshit

Aren't WoW private servers free too?
