DDO player leaving. Looking for new MMO - help

shnuggle

Hi everyone.



Been playing DDO since the first week or so of release.  Its been a ton of fun however its time to move on.



There are many aspects of DDO that I really like and hope to find another MMO with some similar tastes.  I am thinking the new LOTR: online may be what I am looking for.  However I think Im getting tired of elves and orks etc... maybe.



Being an ex. WoW player I headed to DDO quickly.  I really liked the many dungeons (instances), much smaller raids (12ppl), guilds that invite you without the resuma style invite, deeper character creation and no big worlds to explore and a more compacted leveling system.  Overall a quicker game to get into (far less time sinks).  Also the player base was more mature.



I tried Eve: Online for a month however it was way too slow.  Nice graphics and player base though. (I wont go into detail on this game)



Wish List for a New MMO -

An MMO that has a good character creation system. 

I can be very skeptical with large world MMO's.  However I will give them a go.

Not  pvp based.



Anyway, any opinions on what  I could start on next or look forward to in the future would be most appreciated.

Try Ashen Empires, aka Dransik, Although it has huge maps and takes a while to explore it, you run quite fast, just a suggestion, i loved it

Maybe City of Heroes?

Based on your playstyle you described, I would second City of Heroes/City of Villians...character creation is deep as far as the physical aspect goes...and no Orcs or Elves in sight...

As a second choice, I would say LOTR would suit you but then again there are the Elves and Orcs...but beside that small fact, it appears like it may be well suited to you based on the info I've read on the web...

As a last suggestion, I would say Guild Wars...the physical character customization isn't that vast but the world is instanced like in DDO...

Good luck,

Riggler....

I'am third the movement on City of Heroes/Villians, it's an EXTREMELY fun game to get into, much to my surprise beign 1 who never read comic books or any of that. BUT! I would also like to suggest http://www.voyagecenturyonline.com. VCO is an MMO pirate game with alot of options. Though the translations are worse than Google can do but there's plenty of people willing to help you. I think it's relatively new...they still have problems with their item mall that's for sure. But it's forever free and forever fun (Time consuming too :P) Oh and, don't bother exploring past Africa if ya do decide to play, COMPLETE waste of your life lol.
