So.. I've basically only been playing WoW since late 2010 and I'm kinda bored. So I'm looking for something to play, suggestions?
I've tried basically every game out unless it's some indie game idk about. Anything worth going back to? What's everybody think of Wildstar?
Kind of thinking about trying Champions Online again, but you had to pay to even be useful, so idk. I miss CoH Dx

I probably still have my account somewhere, just couldn't get into it. :$
Graal Online is a 2d pixel based mmorpg like the Legend of Zelda series, except with its own feel, i suggest playing on the Zodiac server, it has a small playerbase of 50-70 (Sometimes gets up to 100+ if there is some interest update or balancing. its completely free without any trials www.graalonline.net download it from any section as it's in one client. it only matters which os you use windows or linux.
you need to gear up a little via fishing and mining, you can also sell the drops you get while leveling up to lv.60 and earn almost 1m gold but you need more than that so your friends could gear up for farming (wierd how the game doesnt use "raid" instead use farming, raids in this game are taking forts from a nation, guilds also can capture like three forts)
first you focus on making gold via fishing or mining to do this you must locate the fishing shop or the mining center. for you i'll take you a map screenshot. the one where both red/blue lines start is your "online start location" which you can return to if you're out of combat and stay still for 30 seconds by saying unstick me. red line is where you buy the fishing rod, blue line is where you mine and also buy a pick axe. i prefer fishing as it grants you a bag of spoils that have a chance to give you race essence (stygian, seraph, puppin at the best ones as stygian offers you a 4 second immunity, seraph is popular for paladin, priest, puppin is used for avenger unlock and wind classes because it grants dodge rate, avenger is a mobile bursty pvp class that uses a katana) mining rocks could be more fun at first as fishing tend to escape you at first (maybe its because im playing far from the server, it's located at us and my internet is horrible) http://imgur.com/KNGtUXB
to fish get near the water and find shadows of the fish, equip the rod and spam s button, the spoils also give gold or torn boots (these boots are used for a quest to unlock heavy fishing rod)
the gears in this game have certain prefixes and also suffixes to decide the price. the price for these gears are 200k, defenders could go up to 500k if it is "Hallowed" as they are lv.60 form of heavy armor, archmages are only 200k if it's a manawoven, others are 50k-100k
Battlemaster's gives you 9% damage, good for warrior/brute classes Nightblade's gives you 3% damage 12% critical damage 2% crit rate, yes dextarity classes like thief/scout/ranger/assasin/ninja uses these Archmage's 12 spell power - i think it's obvious that mage/necromancer classes use them xD Defender's - 3% defense -2% damage, the tanks use them preferable tank classes would be Dark Knight, Paladin, Dragoon (these guys are dodge tanks and use Ninja's prefix but you can't dodge spells so yeah)
Mage levels fast until lv.55 from then you can switch your levels by saying /creset to a Monk as they dont require a weapon and has some neat combos via pvp. 54 monk 6 priest is popular as priest 6 grants you stat boosts, sta increases hp so yeah its win win. some monks go 6 necromancer for an aoe slow but it's tricky to aim it properly.
these classes hardly need high end gear to defeat people.
Warrior - uses axe weapon, kind of bulky, deals alot of damage with decent stun rate, you have to manage your berserk stacks and use glory for 1700 regeneration 3~4 tics. or pulverize at 20 stacks for most damage and stun rate (it has a cast time but you can move a little during the cast) main combo is to start off by taunt, laceration (bleed), leg trample (stuns target) attack twice whirlwind then throw axe (stuns) attack twice, fall back and glory rinse repeat. pulverize when you have high stacks and also use rush on target to disarm them when they're about to unleash their combo and if not use ironwall if your rush is on cool down or just to soak up damage as it increases your defense by alot. Surtr is the best weapon for warrior as it has 20% explosion rate, this scales off fire aff so draconian is a decent race for it as it also increases defense by 7% and fire weapon damage by 7% draconians also have a buff ignite scales that burns target during the duration the more foolish they are the more ignites they take or say if you're smart enough to know when to use it properly you could burn them very hard i've seen up to 5k burns not sure how much tics though. warriors use Battlemaster's prefix which is like 150k-200k gold a piece 4/4 is 600k-800k surtr is like 3-5m depends on player but it's worth the money its a deadly weapon, ring of pyre is a fire accessory for a good damage boost worth 1m or less.
Gladiator - more mobile warriors, need 10 warrior 10 monk to unlock it, prefered build is 18 warrior 32 gladiator as 32 grants you the last gladiator spell and 18 warrior gives you sword master and whirlwind (this means warriors have whirlwind too it hits aounrd you 360 once) reason why they are mobile is because they have a charge spell that runs into their enemy
glad,warrior gameplays are shown here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3ZCKSQvpZs
they also have shockwave that goes through people, better version of axe throw. they also got warcry that has a decent 360 aoe stun. if you use victory cry it regenerates 400 hp per 3 seconds
Combo - Charge near enemy [attack once] shockwave [attack once] whirlwind warcry [attack once] rinse repeat.
they also have repel magic that only works against spells, it shields you (no visual effect) and throws small slow shock wave that deals the same damage as if the magic spell would 6k = 6k OUCH the projectile is pretty slow so it should really be used near the target or after a stun. rebuke is a counter spell that deals damage straight to the target only if its melee, ranged none magic, i think damage was based on your damage or the enemy damage not too sure about this. for gladiators earth weapon is the best however you won't afford that sword so your alternative is a water sword called Hydra's Tail worth 500k or so. for races werewolf is the best for gladiator as it gives sword damage boost and a buff to increase attack speed for like 4-5 seconds for smoother combos unless you're fighting a bursty class that also has alot of crowd control like blind, binds, slows alot of dps.. which would make stygian absolute as it makes you immune to all sources of damage for 4 seconds (some penetrate the buff, not sure which one to be exact) and you can move during the buff. gladiators also use battlemaster's regal set / hallowed set so thats 800k Eyering is worth like 10-12m but grants decent damage boost, 2k health and 3% stun rate this means thats alot of stun locking, you can also choose a fire weapon Dragon's Tongue and just use Ring of Pyre as it's also a cheap option. (red flag badge is the cheapest accessory, so if you want, you can buy this for like 200k, it has 1800 health or so with 6% damage, so it's not that bad, but if you can afford ring of pyre do it since its absolute over rfb in terms of damage output)
Monk - has the most health out of all classes, some sick stun combos that starts with body slam -> earth slam -> s button -> any fist skill preferably cobra fist -> tiger claw (slams stun as default tiger claw stuns only when it's used as a combo finisher) there are many combos for this class like against casters you would need to silence them, you finish the combo with cobra fist in example - s button - dragon fang -cobra fist (SILENCES!!!) like that, and theres another one, s button - cobrafist or any other fist skill - ki wave for a slow, they also have ki blast that you can use for harrassing but they have low mana pool so it shouldn't be wasted too much. dragon fang doesnt have any special effect other than extra damage if used as a combo finisher so it's useless to use it last, so you can just use that is a filler skill to use other combo finishers Chakra heals you for 4k-5k health every minute instantly and it cleanses a debuff! you can automaticly regenerate hp 300 or 400 per 2-3 seconds
lv.54 monk lv.6 priest, Goblin Race is the best set up. for gears they equip Battlemaster's seki 4/4, red flag badge but if you want to be even stronger and have 2-3m to spend, Ring of Anchorite gives the most health and status equippable for monks only!
After playing WOW for so many years going to Wildstar is bad idea.
Have you tried The Secret World and Star trek Online?
When i want a break from WOW esque themepark MMOS these two are my top choice.

Thanks, 2d games are always fun, downloading Graal now :P
I have tried Star Trek but I didn't really like it. I've never been able to try Secret World though because when I got into the beta I still had my old PC which couldn't run it. That could be one to try out again. Thanks!
And now for something completely different: The Secret World which is B2P
For f2p, with an actual entertaining story, try LotRO.
If you're bored of MMOs for a while: Skyrim
Hedonismbot: Your latest performance was as delectable as dipping my bottom over and over into a bath of the silkiest oils and creams.
Actually you can play for free and being useful too with the Archetypes. Also you can get the money from the game if you really want to use the store - true, it's a huge grind to get everything without paying a cent. And yeap, we all miss CoH
Downloading AoC, nice move. AoC is a great game.
I remember there was a certain build that was destroying everybody and it was only available to people who paid, that's why I brought that up. :P
Yep, but with an update last year you can also have Freeform characters, without being subbed. True, it's expensive, but again, you can get the cash for it by playing (a.k.a. grinding) the game.
But I guess you'll stay with AoC anyways after the download
Hopefully. :P
Creating a character now.
If you like Super Hero? DCUO
Good story line gameplay in a mmorpg? SWTOR , STO
Action based evading blocking and sorts? TERA, C9, Neverwinter
Strategy combined with MMORPG? Kingdom under Fire 2 (SEA)
Isometric action? Path Of Exile, Diablo 3, Marvel Heroes Online
Wildstar is more or less alot like WoW 2.0.
I wont reccomend anything from SnailGames, eg Age of Wushu, Black Gold Online. they have horrendous services supports and etc
I agree with this except for one game, I would stay away from STO, it will disappoint you.
