Desperate need for a new game
Hey all, after looking and waiting for years for the next big thing finally just had enough. I'm and old style old-school gamer who loved the classics. Just need something to pass my time that fits my style just a bit. Need some sugestions:
Must be newer, not something 5-10+ years old. Must be semi modern graphics (UO and EQ were great but graphics just to dated). Must be something feeling new to me. I love group content and group play with social aspect, would prefer that but I know that is hard thing to ask as now most all games are majorly solo and just random people who never chat. I don't mind grindfest leveling and such as the old style games, but not into logging in every day to spend my day with endless dailies. Tend to like crafting if it has any meaning. Need to have class's for alt's (not like ffxiv 1 character does it all). I prefer to fight or craft for my gear.... not dailies after dailies. I don't want an instanced world as you sit around whatever city and then just queue to instance everything (PSO2) but don't mind zones and instanced dungeons are just fine... or a seamless world. I can't stand P2W. I don't mind a sub and paying for a game but if it has it needs a free trial. I also prefer mmorpg types, and with a medieval/magic style (not the ones with guns, rocket launchers, and what not like a fps).
Games I loved: Meridian 59, UO, EQ classic, EQ2 first few expacs, WoW classic, DAoC, Vanguard SoH (release), SWG (old SWG), PS
Games I liked: EQ first couple expacs, WoW BC, WotLK was *alright*, Lineage 2, LOTRO at release, SW:TOR pre expacs, Rift, FFXIV:AAR, Warhammer Online, Champions Online (classic)
Games I didn't like: Alganon, Wildstar, AoC, Archeage beta, Landmark beta, PSO2, Neverwinter Online (P2W trash), GW2, DCUO, PS2
Likely forgot a few but that's most of my list.
Sadly also whatever game can't be one where one must have some super nice ping to be able to play alright. If its hard to play including endgame on a 300ms connection (FFXIV:AAR and PS2) it just won't happen.
Hope someone can offer a worthwhile game to least spend a bit of time on. Thanks to any to really try.
