looking for a P2P game that has a fantasy setting.

Hello all I come here asking for advice on my next MMORPG. Ive been playing MMOs for many years starting with EQ back in 1999. My original Idea was to go back to AOC but failcom has really done a number on that game so ive given up that idea. I wont play WoW since ive seen what seems to be the new talent tree for the classes I play and they have a very heavy focus on PVP and I prefer to PVE with a slight touch of PVP if I so choose. I played LOTRO and enjoyed it but after a few months I got bored. I played rift for about a month aswell until all my friends quit and it started taking a long time to find a group. I also player WAR for a few months and I really enjoyed it I even thought the PVP was fun. I have tried asherons call and I just couldnt get into it. I have also played EQ2 and I did enjoy it im told that the game has become pretty empty since the last expansion which does not suprise me with SOES track record. Im willing to give any of theses games another try aswell if someone can give me a good view on the current state of the game.  Please no one suggest for me to wait for archeage or GW2 since those are both fairly far off and I do have an MMO addiction. I thank you all and eagerly await yur responses.

    I'm surprised EQ2 is empty. They seem to be getting lots of attention after going F2P. You can try Vanguard, it has a great fantasy setting as well, but if you thought EQ2 was empty then I don't think Vanguard will have the community you are looking for. I would say DDO/EQ2 for what it sounds like you have enjoyed in the past.

    If you liked the original EQ than you will probably love Vanguard as it resembles it the most but there is no PVP.

     

    If you can handle a little danger than I would recommend Darkfall. It is a FFA PVP game with full loot but don't let that stop you from trying it. I enjoy the PVE in that game more than most games because the combat is really fun. Its pretty easy to PVE without ever coming across PVP but groups are required for epic mobs like the ice dragon, daemon, kraken (need a boat and cannons probably), etc. Gear is easily replaced so don't worry too much about dying. Every account can have only one character per account so people eventually all get to know each other and many players would not kill you if they knew that you were not interested in the PVP part of the game. My girlfriend plays for the PVE and there have been many times where people came across us and killed me but left her alone . .. lol

     

    The world is absolutely huge though so you really don't come across other people very often unless you want to.

    I too am looking for a worthy MMO to start now. Don't mind if its P2P or whatever. Just a good playerbase that doesn't demand absolutley loads on graphics. Please PM me as I'm on my phone atm :)

    EQ2 is not empty.  it is actually very full since going F2P.  the Freeport server and Antonia Bayle server are pretty much always with heavy population.  if you comeback and try it I would recomend joining a progression guild they lock levels so members can experience all content for that level range.  If you just play for free you have I think 4 races and 8 classes to choose from and all content up to Sentinels of Fate expansion...if you pick up the gold membership for the 14.99 a month, less if you pay for multi-month subscriptions, you get all classes and races except for the beastlord class for that you need to buy the latest expansion Age of Discovery.
