Honestly I would say Lord Of The Rings Online. Grouping is needed in that game and it is very good too; you definitely have to rely on your teammates and the community is mature.
I am currently downloading the Eu version ^^.
I played it back then when it was open beta; so thanks to the fantastic account system at turbine I have no free trial time there, terrific...
Grouping is no longer really needed in LotRo I returned after a long time, and the only thing you have to group for these days is raiding, thus end-game content (all added after v1b8). Before that, there's really no reason to group anymore, unless you want to give Fornost a try. Even doing the old grouping quests are tuned for solo play. I recently did v1b5c8 with my lvl 50 champ solo (only +3 levels on the quest tracker) and it was EASY
On topic. I'm waiting for TERA to be released. I expect TERA to be group oriented since it's Korean in origin with some westernization. Till then I'll stick with LotR and probably Black Prophecy and some other F2P games.
Not sure why LOTRO has been brought up. Have to agree that it's mostly solo friendly from what I tried (up to around 35ish), main grouping is the endgame raiding which is not what I'm looking for. Plus it has no REAL pvp except the monster vs player area which wasn't great at all (and is for endgame only).
WAR I haven't checked up on lately, the RVR could be fun in a solid team. I left that game shortly after getting to max level and seeing what a mockery endgame was (lack of content, bugged system, trading forts game)
Also not sure everyone is located but we'd need a game with a universal server unless us EU's dl US client or vice versa.
On a side note, just came off vanguard after downloading the trial and wasn't wholly impressed or captivated so far. Was a few new players running around though so doesn't seem totally dead.
i need to DL Xfire. someone else make one, i guess. and we still need to choose a game. One person is DL'ing WAR and I am down for it, what say the rest of you?
sounds like WAR then. Badlands is the most population. Do we want Destro or Empire? Since some installations are required should we plan for tomorrow? I work during the day but I am free after 4 pm.

im interested but it depends what game you guys choose in the end.I know that part of what ive been missing in mmo's lately is a little community to group with and chat too.im buzy playing lineage 2 ....but solo and mmo's suck solo but in all honesty ive been let down too many times in online games by shady characters and scammers.
i got a little excited reading when the game choice was to be WAR. i really want to love that game but cant quite seem to give it a real shot .
so depending what game you guys pick ill come....but this is a great idea

We decided - WAR. The majority want this, and we can get some fun out of it, I'm sure.
I will now test if its possible for EU players to play on US servers.
I would have loved to be part of this (seeing as I am searching for group play/content), but I won't touch WAR after hearing of the recent payment issues. I don't want to risk my fiancial situation just because of a MMO. But if you ever move to another one, please tell me.

lol, it is not like the didn't reimburse the players. They made the mistake and sent the money back to the banks. In most cases the bank/credit card companies saw the problem and didn't even take the charge.

Dont you guys have visa electron where you live? I do and its awesome. Not only I generate CC info that is only valid for one month, but I set the maximum amount of money available to it. Its basically impossible to get over charged.
If you stand VERY still, and close your eyes, after a minute you can actually FEEL the universe revolving around PvP.
Meh, WAR? Nevermind then. The quests in that game were not designed for groups, you guys will be killing mobs in like 1 second. Also, it's just an overall bad game..

I think we should have a xfire group. Also, I am looking at WAR downloading the trial now.
Xfire group would be great imo!
"Ad astra per aspera."
I am down for WAR. I have a level 7 shammy on Badlands server, US.
Who will make a XFIRE group?
i need to DL Xfire. someone else make one, i guess. and we still need to choose a game. One person is DL'ing WAR and I am down for it, what say the rest of you?
I'll make an xfire group. i need to reinstall war.

Lets talk on XFIRE about taht.
i created a chat room called
war
xfire name is sinnrise
Everyone join that chatroom, or add me or sinrise to Xfire.
- We will discuss further which game, WAR or what.
WAR not looking so good due to billing issues
looking into another game.
Sinnrise
We also need to find a game with international servers/server so that everyone can be (EU and US)
A couple of people suggested Final Fantasy XI seems to be the most group orientated to me is that out of the running now?

Someone got billed for over 2000 dollars and it happened twice now. I don't know about you, but I don't trust the whole thing.

IMHO LotRo or EQ II are the best choices.
