I'm personally gonna try DOMO out myself since it's free, boasts crafting and you can fly on a weapon. Unfortunately, the anime graphics will probably turn most off to the game.
Unfortunately. they just did. And I'm still bored, Vanguard trial is too limited so I can't know if its worth buying and Everquest II is pretty good but all the quests are just typical "kill, run, collect"..
I know this won't be the most popular choice on these forums, but I'd suggest you give Star Wars Galaxies a try.
What I would like:
-Lots of exploration. SWG has not just one huge world but several.
-Good crafting system that is important in the game. Also harvesting the materials would be nice (not just killing monsters and crafting items off the items I just got.) SWG has the best crafting system imo bar none even after the NGE.
-Not too much grind/repeating some quests. This maybe an issue after the CL 60 or so there seems to be some dead spots in interesting content between CL 60 and 90 where you will have to do some rather boring mission terminals, but they now have a system that allows players to write their own quests so it maybe much better with this addition.
-Character customisation. One of the best out there even with it being a 6 year old game.
-Okay community and not too empty world. I play on Starsider and the community is great. It is also a server that is very very busy. I really can't speak for the other servers which are less populated, but Starsider is great.
-f2p or p2p with trial. Has a 14 day trial.
-Player driven ( economy?) Check, SWG has this as well. SWG suffers from terrible inflation, but credits are easy to come by so even though prices are unrealistic so are the amount of credits you earn so it all works out.
-I'm not graphics whore nor I care if it's 10000gb and requires good computer or if it's browser game with crappy graphics. Personally I like the graphics. To me they don't feel dated even after 6 years and it doesn't take a killer gaming rig to run.
((-Player housing ) Again, best player housing of any mmo out there imo.
For me it's all about Lotro while i wait for "the one" lol.. it's like the morphius of mmo's ...
Lotro 9.99 to buy, can do 3 months for 29.99 *cheap subs are awesome* and get dec 1st expansion for .. free!
Tons and tons of solo content..
Lots and Lots of quick group quests and instances, story instances are all going solo, tons and tons of stuff to do at cap..
When born you can farm mats for things to sell, crafting is easy but fun imo...or work on deeds (think Alternate character advancement) in quick burst, so when i don't have time.
Then there is the LI system.. legendary items.. leveling up your main weapon and an offhand.. fun fun..
I like the fact on casual nights there is always something i can do, or on hardcore nights, at cap there is tons going on..
Then with the new skirmish system coming, more fun!
Try it.. has a free trial , and you know what.. as a guy who played them all, i'll admit Lotro isn't the best of all time, but it's the best out there.. and it came out 2007 so it's still being actively developed...
If you get on there look for Deadz on eldimeir.. brandywine is the most populated server.. eld and landroval are pretty good too!
Oh and my favorite part.. some classes play so drastically different it's almost like playing a new game!~ LIke the warden is combo oriented like AoC "lite" while my burg is standard mmo combat..
For me it's all about Lotro while i wait for "the one" lol.. it's like the morphius of mmo's ...
I have played it to max lvl back before Mines of Moria and I'm not coming back.
For Star Wars galaxies, There is not too much people on nowadays I guess? and also I would prefer fantasy but if Scifi is awesome I don't care.
This far I think of continuing The Chronicles of Spellborn or subbing to Vanguard
Oh I won't lie there are servers that have light populations in Galaxies, but there are also half a dozen with healthy populations and as I said my home server Starsider is more than healthy. I have tried most the games you have and became bored. I returned to SWG a year ago after a 3 year hiatus and the game is better in many ways than it ever was, but hey its your dime. All I can say is that you can try it for free for 14 days and if you don't like it you are out nothing, but your time.
Edit : Oh and I also noticed english is not your first language. SWG has two european servers and both seem to have healthy populations.

Totally understand.. It took me 3-4 tries to get into lotro.. Mines of moria really made it into the right game for me.. I wasn't a big fan pre-MoM the 45+ Li's and mom make it a blast.
My issue with VG (which i loved) is i don't see any endgame except hardcore.. and it's a sinking ship while lotro is an actively produced games with years of potential. That being said.. i feel like lotro is my "holdover" till I find something else, yet how much i look, there really is "nothing else" that works for me.
WURM Online is nice too, takes a while to learn though, also the population is.. well.. pretty bad, or subbing to VG.. all the good games have low population
I may try SWG but I won't touch lotro, sorry. :P WURM Online is nice too, takes a while to learn though, also the population is.. well.. pretty bad, or subbing to VG.. all the good games have low population
Not true, all the good games are Single player! lol...
Here's my master list of mmo's i don't mind...
Lotro, Ryzom, DDO, EQII, Vanguard, FE is open world w/ good crafting but not challanging at all..
Now why i wanna give SWG i want a game with foward potential.. i think it will be dead early next year after SW:TOR comes out, and if it wasn't coming out, it would be dead by it's own hand..
"At the moment I am enjoying everquest 2 very much, but what I don't like in EQ2;
-Quests are all the same, "collect or kill" things.
-SoE launches sucks, crashes etc.
-can't buy it with paypal I think.
What I like;
-Beautiful
-Races & Classes
-^Customization
-Crafting.
Any other game I should try?!"
Yep, SOE launcher really sucks. Just make a shortcut for the game's .exe file to the desktop and use it, no need for launcher other then updates. You can buy it with PayPal, but not from Sony. You can use PayPal option with Steam and D2D, it is the same game. Oh and for the quests.. Yeah, there are lots and lots of "collect x, kill y" quests, but i see EQ2 as the only game with "surprise quests". For example, in Thunder Steppes, i accidentally get close to a npc hut and.. i was kidnapped! Suddenly another zone started to load and my next mission was getting out of there. This was a nice and fun quest, you can't see quests like this on other games that much. Oh and for the low level group/dungeon problem.. I am on Crushbone server, and if you are not in a guild, you are in trouble for low level dungeons, it is really hard to find a group. But for the end game, it rocks.
Stages of a new mmo: 1) It's just beta. It still has plenty of time before release. 2) It just launched. Give it time. WoW wasn't built in a day. 3) We don't need you anyway. 4) F2P announced. 5)Huge influx of players. 6) Look how much has changed. 7) Cash shop is the only thing developed lately. 8) It has been a long journey and we thank everyone who was part of it. Shutting down in 3 months. (Courtesy of Robokapp.)

The game feels so empty, using "who" I find only me in my zone. And only 7players 1-20lv online in overal.. Also, D2D sells only american EQ2. I think I'll wait few weeks until I have new debit card that I can use all over the web. And I think I prefer VG over Eq2 anyways.
Just a little warning, vanguard end game is GRIND. If you don't play hardcore you'll go crazy, guess they need to keep people subing without giving any content?
I'm on a WoW-bored-fest again, so I've been trying to decide which game to go back to. Funniest thing is, I'm pretty much in the same boat as you. All of the ones that have been mentioned I have tried, some I've loved, but the ones I've loved the most (Vanguard is high on that list) really don't have very good populations anymore. Vanguard's population has always been fairly low due to the horrible launch and the purchase by SOE (who could care less that the game could be great -- they now have a dev team of like under 10 people).
I have to admit, at the moment the games I'm considering going back to are:
LotRO (I've never gotten to the end, though I like the game, Im a terrible alt-aholic).
Age of Conan (Always loved this game)
*Thinks*
That's really all I can come up with at the moment. I really can't figure out what to do. :P
It's a shame you're so adverse to LotRO. Vanguard is gorgeous, its a blast, an absolute blast. Seradon has a decent population, but my main problem is going into a large city and seeing ... NO ONE ... Now I can understand that its doing poorly, I get it, I do. But it hurts to see a gorgeous world just... vacant.
If I were you, I'd probably stick with EQ2 since you're against going back to LotRO (I'd also go with Antonia Bayle -- population is very good there).
I personally love EQ2, but I've never gotten a very high level character in it because a) I'm an alt-aholic and b) because I just can't find a class suited for me. The only problem, aside from that with EQ2 is that a lot of the game is poorly optimized. If you do plan on sticking with it, just avoid Nektulos Forest all-together.
Vanguard- This is the one I’m currently playing and subbed to. The next closest game I would consider would be eq2, but vanguard won my heart. People say the game is dead and there is no population. That isn’t true. If I’m off questing and wondering around in the wilderness I don’t often see people. But when I’m in the quest hub areas there are people all over the place. The community is great, very helpful, and quite talkative.
As far as dev support, the dev team working on the game is smaller yes. But they are very active and very pro game. As opposed to many dev’s you see in other games where its’ just a job for them. For these guys it’s a passion.
As I’m only level 20 so far, I haven’t yet experienced the end game yet. I do hear there is a lot to do. And some of it is kind of grind oriented. But every single MMO I can think of is grind oriented in the end game. That’s how they keep people subscribed. There are a lot of people raiding, so the end game is quite active. And from talking with guild mates it sounds like they are planning new raid content that has already been tested. So there is still further development going on.
The crafting is great, some people consider it a grind. But no one is forcing you to do it, and what crafting isn’t grindish?
I think the thing that ended up really making my mind with vanguard was the fact that I hadn’t ever made it past level 20 previously. (I left due to many of the bugs they had fixed) So there was a ton of content to explore. I decided to take the game slower than I normally would in an MMO. Read the quests, and just enjoy everything it had to offer. So far I’m loving it. I joined an amazing guild, who are all very friendly. And for the first time in almost 7 years I have that feeling of adventure. I constantly find myself saying “wow look at that”, “I wonder whats over there”.
The only thing I wish I had in the game was a friend to level with. I’ve grouped with quite a few random people. But I just don’t have anyone close to me IRL or old gamer friends to level with. My only regret.

I'm alt-aholic too. To be honest lotro is one of the only games I got max, I was just giving up at forties when update came and brought the awesome snowy place.. then I decided to lvl 50 and do some shit until I got bored. 2 MMOs I have played most (Guild Wars and WoW) . Nowadays I'm wow hater.. I had millions of characters at 50 but always stopped. Seriously, after 40 the game started to suck imo. I couldn't do instances like maraudon because I have life and they took like 5hours back then, after millions and again millions of 50-ish characters I go to private server and realized the raids sucked anyways, gathering millions of ppl just to kill boss and "get" epic you want. Also good thing in privates; Raids didn't take so long and big drops so you probably got what you want. The private was something like 20-ish rates.
Atm, I'd stick with TCoS (not playing too much tho). Or give up MMOs.. though I will check allods online closed beta tomorrow.

I never got past lv. 36 in LotRO. I couldn't stand the LM after that and I never got an alt past 20 or 25. LotRO is a gorgeous game and I enjoyed it thoroughly, even though I didn't get past lv. 36.
I loved TCoS but unfortunately things didn't work out with that game. A friend came to play it and it went kind of from being fun to being more like a "Okay get that quest /read, get the next quest /read. Do quest A. Do quest B." I just kind of stopped having fun...
I decided yesterday that I was tired of trying to find a game that I hadn't played extensively, there just aren't many out there that are interesting me right now, so I'm giving Free Realms a try. So far its been fairly interesting and I don't feel any push to get done tons of things immediately. It's just very casual.

Unfortunately. they just did. And I'm still bored, Vanguard trial is too limited so I can't know if its worth buying and Everquest II is pretty good but all the quests are just typical "kill, run, collect"..
I know this won't be the most popular choice on these forums, but I'd suggest you give Star Wars Galaxies a try.
What I would like:
-Lots of exploration. SWG has not just one huge world but several.
-Good crafting system that is important in the game. Also harvesting the materials would be nice (not just killing monsters and crafting items off the items I just got.) SWG has the best crafting system imo bar none even after the NGE.

I have played it to max lvl back before Mines of Moria and I'm not coming back.
For Star Wars galaxies, There is not too much people on nowadays I guess? and also I would prefer fantasy but if Scifi is awesome I don't care.
This far I think of continuing The Chronicles of Spellborn or subbing to Vanguard

I'm alt-aholic too. To be honest lotro is one of the only games I got max, I was just giving up at forties when update came and brought the awesome snowy place.. then I decided to lvl 50 and do some shit until I got bored. 2 MMOs I have played most (Guild Wars and WoW) . Nowadays I'm wow hater.. I had millions of characters at 50 but always stopped. Seriously, after 40 the game started to suck imo. I couldn't do instances like maraudon because I have life and they took like 5hours back then, after millions and again millions of 50-ish characters I go to private server and realized the raids sucked anyways, gathering millions of ppl just to kill boss and "get" epic you want. Also good thing in privates; Raids didn't take so long and big drops so you probably got what you want. The private was something like 20-ish rates.
Atm, I'd stick with TCoS (not playing too much tho). Or give up MMOs.. though I will check allods online closed beta tomorrow.

I never got past lv. 36 in LotRO. I couldn't stand the LM after that and I never got an alt past 20 or 25. LotRO is a gorgeous game and I enjoyed it thoroughly, even though I didn't get past lv. 36.
I loved TCoS but unfortunately things didn't work out with that game. A friend came to play it and it went kind of from being fun to being more like a "Okay get that quest /read, get the next quest /read. Do quest A. Do quest B." I just kind of stopped having fun...
I decided yesterday that I was tired of trying to find a game that I hadn't played extensively, there just aren't many out there that are interesting me right now, so I'm giving Free Realms a try. So far its been fairly interesting and I don't feel any push to get done tons of things immediately. It's just very casual.
