A wow players confusion

hey guys, ive been off World of warcraft now for at least 6 months, and iam currently looking for a new mmorpg, ive tried many diffrent games like City of Villians Dunegons and dragons RF online, and none of them have done it for me. I geuss what iam most interested in and if anyone know of one is a game that has a similer combat system as world of warcraft. What i like the most about it is the freedom of movement , your not just standing in one spot pressing buttons in world of warcraft you can jump do a 360 and fire blast somone etc etc. I also like the grouping system, working together to get items, although the downfall of that is spending 8 houres infront of your computer trying to kill one boss and people nerdraging there ass's off at you if you fuck up. I'm intersted to hear if anyone is in my position or if anyone can advise me to any other games they think i might be intersted in.
 thanks! :D

    If you liked WoW's control system then try EQ2, it's almost identical. The PVP is better as well, as far as tacked-on PVP rulesets go that is.

    I was going to say the same thing.

    From my own experience, EQ2 and WOW are very similar in gameplay.

    yea, im the same way, i been off WoW now for a good 4 months? mehhhh maybe 3. and looking for a new MMO, was beta testing Archlord and pre-ordered it, and dont like it so much, but ill  play it. i didint get it yet. i like the idea, so, well see. but now im just buying time for StarTrek Online lol. i totally agree thow, one of the best things in WoW is the free movement. to bad that once you hit 60 and have done Molten Core 30 times, raiding gets boring, Farming faction Sucks, and PvP is an awfull endless boring grind.
  • BonkkBonkk Member Posts: 5
    yeah exactly, Eq2? hmm ive never thought of that, ill have to lookinto it, it just seems thers alot of burnt out wow players that are looking for a new game similer to it but  diffrent in respects, does anyone know of any future games coming out? will Warhammer online or  vanguard be the same way as wow?

    The movement in wow is awesome and is probably one of the biggest reasons I have kept going back to it.

    Would be nice to see something similar in a pvp oriented game but no suck luck.

    If you want something that looks to be harder than WoW- read up on Vanguard. It's gonna be much harder than WoW though- there will be no maxing of these toons in a couple months !! Not a game for the faint of heart- travelling and corpse recovs are gonna take a crew to survive- but I'm looking forward to a challenging game. Gonna be 20-60-20 in content- 20% solo, 60% group, and 20%raids.

    Release date is guestimated at the beginning of Jan-March.

    P.S. You can cut down trees and be a lumberjack in Vanguard!! You can be a carpenter in VanGuard!! You can build your house wherever you want!! WooHoo!!

    If you can get over the jumping around fixation I'd suggest Saga of Ryzom, it's relatively point and click although you can change to WSAD if you like and the movement is just as flexible once you become habitualized. Although you will somewhat restricted at first, give a chance though, it grows on you. It has a nice little community, good game play, over skill leveling, really solid crafting and probably the best environments of any game on the market right now.

    EQ2, as someone has already mentioned, is very much so worthy a try most especially if your really into questing. The movement is similar to WoW in that you can jump around to hearts content if you wish but again compared to WoW it does feel some what restricted as you pretty much need to be planted firmly to do anything. Nice graphics, decent community (if not somewhat elitist), pvp is ok but not great by any stretch of the imagination.

    Lineage 2 is a very good game also with tons of depth between PVE, PVP and castle sieging, most defanitely not for everyone though. Movement is restricted to pretty much point and click, WSAD can be had but it's tedious at best, sorry jumping for you here. The grind is an absolute brutal experience, for example, to reach lvl 80 in L2 you can easily lvl two accounts filled with lvl 60 chars in WoW, it's a monster. Upside to that is L2 isn't all about getting to max level, you can do very important and very big things before your at the end all and be all of lvl's. Lots of downsides to the game, but lots of ups too if you want a more serious, traditional type of MMO.

    Other games of note you might want to put on your list would be Eve (I can't play it but very big for some people), MxO (great little game that sadly needs lots of work) and SWG.

    Games to watch out for, The Chronicles of Spellborn and I keep saying this but no one is paying attention, this game is going to be a sleeper hit, it has all the makings of a wonderfull MMORPG with actual concentration on the RPG part, look into it for sure.

    Important Information regarding Posting and You :)

    Saga of Ryzom is awesome. Another underrated game. Ryzom had probably the best community in all the games I had ever played (12+ years mmorpg/MUD player here and that's saying something). I remember an instance when one of the well known Ryzom players died in real life the whole community mourned for him. The game is fun however its a very group/party oriented game and there's a bit of a grind to it. But you can max every class and every trade profession no limit (125 levels+) with a single character, your time investment is the limit. You can customize your own spells. The game world is huge and there are a lot of monsters that are bigger than you are.

    Phantasy star Universe is about to come out. I would suggest giving that a try. the real time combat system is fun and grouping is easy.

    EQ2 has the worst PVP experence ever, the only way to have fun in PVP is to roll a scout type class not even a bard one, either ranger,swashbuckler or that other onee.

    Ok, true. However, be warned, the PvP servers of EQ are where the most immature brats spend all of their time camping/ganking the lowest level players they can find. There no honor, no good reason to PvP except to piss off players, no thrill unless squashing bugs under your boots stiffens you up.

    Not unlike WoW. ::::01::

    WAR should be good, but LOTRO :(  can't see me playing a game that could'nt possible have a good pvp system and you have to be a goody goody.  Don't get me wrong I am glad they are sticking to the story but yeah not cool.
