A game with a lot of progression
Dear MMORPGamers 
,
So I have been lost for a couple of weeks, I have recently quit Rift. Which was a great game, just not what I am looking for. I am hoping some of you guys who have played a lot more games than me can give me some advice.
I am looking for a game that will involve a lot of progression, to give an example: Eve. which would have been a perfect match for me if it was not for it's unforgiving PVP. I like pvp don't get me wrong, I played (and still play sometimes) Global Agenda which has nothing but PVP, I just don't like loosing everything especially if it takes you months to get it.
I played Rappelz on and off, it would have been a great game had it not been owned by GPotato, who with every update ruin the game even more.
TLDR: LF A game that takes more than a couple of weeks to max out, and without the idea of loosing everything if defeated.
Thank you for your time ^^

by progression what kind of things are you looking for? only game i can think of would be runescape, probably heard of it but if not it has a f2p but with restrictions also the community on f2p servers are pretty bad.
i used to play runescape for years, currently have a main with 13 99s and close to farming and few others but on average i worked it out to be 30days (once you get to a decentish combat lvl with certain skills/cash) to hit 1 99, thats for 1 99 on average. the hardest skills to lvl are slayer and runecrafting (not as much now due to an update) these take months, runecraft took me 3months to get 99 and slayer i'm not even 90 lolol. some just take alot of cash like herb or prayer, people say there hard because of that but cash isnt to hard to get once you know how.
if you know any history of runescape you might know that once you died, you dropped everything and had 1min to get to your death spot before items appeared on the floor. thats changed and now you spawn a graveyard, you can get diffrent graveyards which keep the items inside it for long periods of time, longest being 20mins. run back to where you died, enter graveyard get your items back, hated this update tbh as it made it soooooo much easier for people to kill hard mobs without any risk, but it might be nice for you.
the graphics arnt "omfg 0.0" but as current, its the only game i can find that has any sort of skill progress system which actually takes time, not just a joke of 1-2 days.
hope that helped, if that isnt what your looking for give me some more info on what kind of progression your after, ill see what games i can remember
Well it's hard to define progression, some games have levels, some has skills, most have a combination of both, gear etc. It really does not matter to me what it is, I just like something that won't take me a couple of weeks to max out like rift or lotr. (maybe some exaggeration but you get the idea :P)
Runescape is something I have heard of for a while, I know it is a browser game that has been around for quite a while, which is sort of a turn-off. Maybe I will give it a shot if nothing else is out there ^^
If you are not turned off by the graphics and (lack of) animations try Wurm Online it's a wide open sandbox, that allows you to do whatever you like, pvp and pve combat (there is a non-pvp server), building, crafting, teraforming, breeding animals, anything... it has 100+ skills that you will never be able to max out and there's always something to do to advance your character.
other games you could try:
vanguard - doesnt have too many levels, but it takes a good while to go through them and it does have a lot of alternative progression: harvesting, crafting and diplomacy, all with with its own progression, eq etc.
istaria: have 100 levels per class and you can take ALL the classes with 1 char (and there is a lot of combat/harvesting/crafting classes)
ryzom: is more skill based with 4 main spheres (combat, magic, harvesting, crafting) which you can all progress
haven & hearth: similar to wurm online, 2d sandbox with literally unlimited progression, since the skills are not capped
