- Project Gorgon is fun, but i consumed all the content there is, three times. And none of my friends wants to come along sadly.
- Project 99 is fun for a while, but i consumed all the content there is about 20 times about 10 years ago AND another 10+ times now.
- "Original EQ" moved away from its roots too much for me to enjoy it for longer then a month or two in a row, but i do go back often.
As you can tell,... i am very narrow minded if it comes to my MMOs. I want EQ with pretty grafics, nothing else. I don't need innovation, i just want more of the same. I tried about every big MMO there is and got bored within MINUTES or a few days tops. Always go back to P99 or EQ itself.
Anything else that comes even remotely close?
Hell,.. i checked Black Desert Online, that is how desperate i am for a MMO by now. But no trading at all? Dear god. How solo can a MMO become.
Really, sick of spending so much money on single player games. They are so much more expensive then any sub MMO ever was while delivering less content ;-)
MMOs finally replaced social interaction, forced grouping and standing in a line while talking to eachother.
Now we have forced soloing, forced questing and everyone is the hero, without ever having to talk to anyone else. The evolution of multiplayer is here! We won,... right?

I want everything about old school EQ with updated graphics, animations, systems, and fresh content to delve into. Looks like Pantheon is on the right track, but what to play until then?
EQ1, EQ2, SWG, SWTOR, GW, GW2 CoH, CoV, FFXI, WoW, CO, War,TSW and a slew of free trials and beta tests
Meh, Ghost town, and no... just... no.

DAoC is a good one, i loved that back then and will check it out again. Also Lotro sounds like a good bet.
Thanks guys. Figured there wasn't much new to try, but stopped following every new MMO a while ago since 99% scream "fail" before even going into alpha, let alone release
The bad thing about solo RPGs is the lack of content. Most have about 20-30 ish hours worth of gameplay with very little replay value. Witcher being one of the few that stayed fun for a LOT longer, but games like Witcher are almost as rare as good MMOs. It is indeed easier to find fun solo games then MMOs, indeed. Just not killing much time with that ;-)
Need Pantheon badly. Even just watching the first twitch stream was more fun then i had playing MMOs in the past years. There is hoping they don't change too much from there and i will be set for another 15+ years, just like EQ did for me.

I would check out Wurm Unlimited on Steam. It is a sanctioned private server system (like P99) of Wurm Online. This way you can avoid toxic jerks. There is a fair amount of private servers to look at with some great communities. Wurm was originally released in 2006 so its got old school graphics and mechanics.

That's the only thing which will divert me from EVE, my guild is thinking of playing as "filthy Hibs" this time around.

Wurm Unlimited may fit the bill for you. The biggest problem with the game is the learning curve, simple things like making level ground to build on, and the menus with submenus.
Didn't notice Uruketo said the same thing till now.
Actually that is exactly what i ended up doing: I play EQ again on the latest progression server. And what can i say... all the hater claiming it is nostalgica only are just wrong. The game IS so much fun, even with all the pure old school stuff ;-)

To give feedback on moderation, contact mikeb@mmorpg.com
I have no idea why anyone would want EQ1,terrible AI,single class design,generic layout tiered design 1-10 is the same as 11-20 just different tiers of the same stuff.
Generic proximity aggro,narrow linear dungeons,mobs crammed in everywhere that you can't move ,just too much needs to be improved in that type of game.
Also weapon skill has/had no meaning in most every game,it seems we are Always 100% skilled with each and every weapon,we need BETTER gaming not same old same old.

Real life brings repetition and pointlessness too. The only thing real life offers is Great graphics. Its kinda expensive too and way to dependent on the cash shop. Totally pay to win as well. No thank you. Ill stick to my games.
You like turn based fun? Darkest Dungeon or aka Rage Quit Simulator, lol.
Magica Wizard wars pretty fun little casual game too.
I play EvE but are sort of in a break right now. Was getting a little bored.
My pass the time gone break list.
Darkest Dungeon
Atlas Reactor
One Finger Death Punch
Elite:Dangerous
Civ-V
I'm real close to buying tabletop simulator and Endless Space too. Both are on sale!
Currently back into EQ again. No matter what the haters say: It is NOT nostalgica. Playing on a progression server that is on the very first xpac... i am having a blast. Is it nostalgica if i enjoy it NOW? Ha!

That said, the closest thing you will find to EQ that has really nice graphics is Age of Conan. You could also give ASTA a go to see if the graphics are good enough.
The world is going to the dogs, which is just how I planned it!
If From Software makes a Dark Souls or inspired MMO (and they dont pull an ESO) I would just send them a signed blank check. If you havent played these yet, do it .... now.

I mean theyre not for everyone but its really not as punishing as it made out to be (at least not yet). Yeah you die a lot but its not like you lose a whole days worth of souls unless you were boldly saving them for some reason. Theyre not even that important. I will say this, I guarantee at least some of those times your friend spent cursing at the the game were from emotional triumphs instead of PTSD inducing defeats.
