A burned-out gamer, looking for a world to pass time in
Hey, it's me, yet again. Almost seems like a traditon now - starting in this section of the forums, each time I return on MMORPG.com
So how you've been? Me? Well, mostly I quit MMOs for a good half a year, after the whole TPA fiasco. Did a little FFXI here and there, even tried WoW yet again... Nothing seemed to "click".
So, community, yet again, I ask you a simple question. What game should I look into?
I'll be frank, at this point I don't care about the style of the game - be it sandbox, themepark, PvP-oriented, raid-oriented - anything. All I want is to get immersed again, feel a part of the world, kind of... Explore, you know? Bottom line, I want a good group-oriened game, where it's still possible to get players together, even not in prime-time. Heavy instancing is not something I look forward too.
I wouldn't mind RP, as well. Lots and lots of juicy RP.
I don't mind F2Ps and P2Ps at that point. But if it's F2P, I'd prefer to be ablere to spend under 20 bucks a month and still stay competetive.
That's all, folks.
I hate WoW because it made my plush hamster kill himself, created twin clones of Hitler, punched Superboy Prime in reality, stared my dog down, spoiled my grandmother, assimilated me into the Borg, then made me into a real boy, just to make me a woman again.

Good luck with that, I'm in the same boat.. If you find one let me know too, mmk? I'll just be playing Civ V until something come along.
Looking for the same. Straight exploration that is worth while just doesn't exist anymore. Goodluck with your search.
Who knows tbh
Everything is a big let down.

I've been trying everything that I can get a trial for, plus most of the f2p's. So far, the three that grabbed me at all were Age of Conan, LOTRO, and Fallen Earth.
But honestly, Fallen Earth is the one that most feels like "home" to me. It's a scrappy, often buggy, independent effort, but the exploration and crafting pay off for me (just made my first motorcycle!), the lore is interesting, the missions get repetitive but there are some gems in there, and the world just feels big and interesting. Plus they are constantly improving it, even after the studio let a bunch of people go.
So that's what I'd suggest to pass the time. Plus, there are a number of RP clans in there.
Should've mentioned it sooner, probably, but my PC can't really run it properly. Best I can hope for is AoC.

Been in the same boat, playing Eve atm, so far so good, can't see myself playing it long term, but it fills some time
I am also looking, and also am wondering if you would like to start something with me?
I had the games in mind
SWG
AoC
Fallen Earth
DarkFall
WoW Cata
Well, I'm currently trying DarkFall out, since other games don't really appeal to me.

Uncharted Waters Online....OBT starts on the 1st. Check it out
I'm in the same boat too. I had subscribed to AOC but got bored, retried CO but got bored finally resubbed to COH and played that for a few months but game is getting boring. I've tried almost everything out right and nothing really appeals to me. I want to give DCU a try but still debating on it.
I think my biggest problem is I play mostly during the night when less people are on and I can never seem to find a guild that feels like home if u know what I mean or maybe I just choose the wrong servers.
Noble and true, you are the hero other heroes aspire to be. You are a natural leader, selfless and kind, who will put the lives of others above your own, and are steadfast in your pursuit of justice.
Take the quiz!
I feel the same way too now, I picked up FFXIV and it really wasn't worth it
I guess with the right linkshell I could be enjoying that game, but I have yet to find one.
Right now I'm thinking of going back to WoW or Aion, leaning towards Aion though, cause in all honestly WTF is there to do in WoW?! No reason to start from one, not with cata so close. there aint crap to do at 80, just run the same stupid instances, which you dont need crap from anymore once your "geared" up.
Problem with Aion is, with out knowing anyone that plays it, I feel out of the loop, thrown into a world with no one to talk to and no one to game with.
I do hope I find something soon, some people are telling me to try out STO, but never seeing a single movie or episode of Star Trek, idk. I played in the beta for STO, just wasn't my thing.
At any rate, if you find something, let me know.
I have thought too about playing Aion, but I have not heard the best things about it. I'm not a WOW hater, but after trying it many times I just cannot get into it. I downloaded DDO played for all of 30 mins and deleted it. SW: TOR looks good but I'm not sure about that one either.
As I'm writing this I'm downloading Runes of Magic going to give it another try.

TOR is one gigantic "meh". It's going to be a single player game, that you'll have to pay for monthly. Thanks, but no.

In the same boat like you
I bought Civ5 and enjoying it alot always enjoyed the series.I can play few months with it .
Just remember if you giving Darkfal a go, there is an Ex pack out in the next 2 weeks that will update gfx and player models. It will also update alot of the dungeons. Other stuff as well but no one knows all the stuff right now.
Dragon Age: Origins. I passed on it because it was a single player game but the fact is that it is a better game, regardless, than 99% of the MMORPGs out there.

Why not. it's been overhauled and had the majority of bugs fixed.
All it needs is a relaunch and some marketing and it has the potential to be one of the best game out atm.

Have you actually played Vanguard, if so when did you play it. Don't get trying it mixed up with playing it. If you have played, what did you actually do when you did play it.The Path Ahead started there and we played for quite a while. I love the game, but there are too many bad memories - it needs time to sink in.

I'm sorry, but I don't like Dragon Age. Bioware lost it somwhere around KOTOR.

Then I would suggest Champions Online. It is basically a single player game, but a good one, and should keep you busy for the free month and by that time DC Online should be released.

Right, so you last played Vanguard around three years ago.Making assumptions is a good thing, isn't it? No, we last played it the last winter.
