Which MMORPG would you recommend?

Hello guys, I was wondering if you would be able to help me out with choosing an MMO to play?

 

So basically I have been looking for an MMO to play for quite a while. I'm currently waiting for Skyforge but I need something to occupy me in the mean time. I have played WoW, Rift, Lineage 2, Guild Wars 2, Wildstar, SWTOR, Ragnarok Online, FFXVI:ARR and others that I never really got in to. 

What I'm mainly looking for is something visually pleasing. I loved GW2's, Wildstar's and Rifts graphics. They were all great games, but Wildstar lacked people and Guild Wars 2 had no end game. I'm looking for something that I can really spend quite some hours on. As a university students I find myself with quite a bit of free time. 

So if any of you could offer me any suggestions that would be great! Thank you!

    If your big thing is endgame, and you dont mind spending money, I'd recommend looking at FFXIV:ARR. The game looks great, it's based on the standard raid / themepark, and while the combat is kinda simple, if you're used to games like WoW / Wildstar it will still be fun. It's arguably one of the better themeparks on the market currently for PvE endgame.

    If you're looking for something else I can give other recommendations w/ more info.

    Thanks for your suggestion! I acctualy played FFXVI:ARR (forgot to mention it for some reason...) but I couldent get very far. The servers were increadibly laggy. I tried again 7 months after launch but the problem still persisted. I live in England, not sure if it was just a issue for me or for the country. It's a shame really, I enjoyed the beta...

    Edit: Fixed the 1st post. Also, I dont mind spending money as long as I'm going to get my moneys worth of enjoyment :)

    ESO most likely, and its about to undergo some big changes so good time to join.

    Could someone just give a brief discription of ESO? I think I might try it.

    Just went back to TSW.  I'm really having a good time. The combat is not the best but the games world makes up for anything the combat is lacking. The story is also very good too. I also like the questing in the game some new ways of doing quest and some of the same but all so far for me has been fun.

    TERA is a good fun game too. Looks amazing fun combat. Characters have amazing models and animations. I play that on and off through out the year.

    ESO  has some great questing and some really immersive environments.  I often forget I'm playing an MMO (which some can see as a negative) but there's always people around.  Crafting is really unrestrictive, not sure I can go back to other forms of crafting after ESO . PvP is massive in scale but there's balance issues at the moment.

    There are still occasional bugs but I think it's worth a try, if you're already interested there's plenty to enjoy in the game.
