Need a recommendation. Used to play EQ2
I'm looking to get back into an MMORPG, full-fledged. I was big into EQ2 for years, on the Nagafen server (pvp).
I enjoyed farming bosses for certain rare items (solo, group, raid), completing long questlines for a great item... basically I liked doing anything to get the best possible piece of gear for each slot, each circumstance, anyway possible. I liked soloing, duoing stuff that usually took a full group to do. I enjoyed going back through the game to farm earlier mobs that dropped hard to find items. I enjoyed setting up my auction house.
What are new games out there I should try like this?
Should I jump back into EQ2? Seems like it would be a bit outdated and maybe changed too much from what I remember.
If anyone was a nagafen player, my main characters were Bowl/Dishes (name got nerfed), and Tail.

Fallen Earth if you want to explore out of the genre
Please do not respond to me, even if I ask you a question, its rhetorical.

Just read up on TLE servers, sounds like a great idea! Thanks for the info
Thanks for suggestions, I'll look at those
I have played this game for almost 11 years. I took a 8 month break and the new expansion is worth the investment.
my two cooper.
edit. Hey before you do anything with PvP I suggest your visit this thread.

If you are interested in making a MMO maybe visit my page to get a free open source engine.
It's fun though, and right up your alley until something better comes out.

I have played many games..always come back to daoc after i check out the new trash lol.
Velika: City of Wheels: Among the mortal races, the humans were the only one that never built cities or great empires; a curse laid upon them by their creator, Gidd, forced them to wander as nomads for twenty centuries...
Personally the Boss runs get really boring,i can handle them once maybe twice but not several times and EQ2 was really bad at dropping tons of meaningless legendary loot.
Somebody in this genre needs to get away from BEST loot and create VARIATIONS in game play,so nothing is the best,you have to change your style and thinking depending on what you are fighting.Nobody ever cares about tier 2 or 3 they only want the very best loot,it turns it into trivial game play.
Obviously if you want to do the same old same old,you don't need to ask on a forum,there are literally thousands of games doing the exact same thing.
Runes of Magic changes it up a bit offering more into the gear and stat ideas but it is a huge cash shop sink,so yeah we get some variations and they are ruined by cash shops.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
The closest game in development right now is probably Pantheon, at least closest to EQ2 in the first few years even though it might be closer to EQ from what I heard.
Vanguard is sadly down, would have worked fine otherwise. A few games with the same basic game do exist, Rift might be worth testing and while the combat is pretty different AoC might also be worth considering (it is low fantasy without elves and so on though).
I can't recommend going back to EQ2 anymore, the game havn't really aged with dignity (I myself think the game was as best just after EoF came out) but taste differ. Plenty of other games to try though, might take you a few before you find something that works right for you but don't give up.
