LF gripping immersion

I personally dislike all the requests for a game like DayZ (I mean, why not just play DayZ?), but there is one facet of it that I crave in an MMO.  Whenever you play DayZ, you just can't help but be sucked into the game world.  It is the only game I've played that feels truly immersive.  I was wondering if anyone know of a game that provided a similar feeling, but in a true mmo.

    The lack of people inputting ideas makes me a little sad and kinda sure that what I am looking for does not exist.

    I'd tell you some, but you'll just say the graphics aren't good enough so I'm not going to.

    When did I indicate that the graphics had to be stellar?

    I personally feel any games with a forced first person perspective are inherently immersive. Also Xsyon I felt was immersive, and I assume the previous post was referring to Minecraft? Probably the most gripping immersion I've felt came from either EQ, UO, Xsyon, Minecraft, or Skyrim. Been eyeing DayZ though, might try it tonight.

    They don't make true MMOs like that anymore. All they make now are *games*, with mechanics and tiers, CDs and mitigation. It isn't about building convincing worlds any more, which is a damn shame, I really miss those days.

    I have watched some really great independent games fizzle out over the years because the graphics were not good enough. Gmaes that were years ahead of the industry, but because they don't look great no one would touch them. Sorry for assuming that you would be a slave to the graphics like 98% of the other people on this site.

     

    http://www.dark-wind.com This is one of the last great PnP Graphical adaptations. Your gang members age, get injured, and die. major repairs to vehicles can take up to a week. You don't just go into battle on this game thinking oh well if I die I will respawn.

     

    As for Dayz looking like Battlefield 1942... You need to update your rig son. If you actually play games on high graphics setting it blows away Darkfall.

     

    DayZ is a great game and very immersive, but at a certain point you just ask yourself  "ok what now? Why am I trying to survive in this hellhole?"

    Or perhaps other people can't accurately predict what you'll find immersive?

    The guys who show up with "Give me a good game to play" often get many of the same chirping crickets.

    Self-pity imprisons us in the walls of our own self-absorption. The whole world shrinks down to the size of our problem, and the more we dwell on it, the smaller we are and the larger the problem seems to grow.

    I agree Darkfall is good for immersion and it can really get the heart pounding. Sadly its nearly impossible to catch up to veterans of the game.

    FFXI.  Only game to TRULY immerse me and keep me that way, no matter how long I played.  Lotro has come close a couple of times, in certain zones, like the Trollshaws.  I was immersed in WoW for the first 3 months, after you see whe world though, it goes away fast.
