[...] the animation and ui and combat was horrible..and its a shame cuz the rest is good enough.
Looks like you'd have liked TSW more then, the mentioned "the rest", the unique and great part (world, story, missions, investigation/puzzles, NPCs, etc. ) are all TSW
Legends is the horrible (or in dev-speak "visceral and fun, all hail the mighty reticle") action combat and its matching UI.
Anyhow, for the actual question of what we play, the game search, and the
Im looking for online games with alot of people that eventualy bunch up and builds or fights or explores. Games where i dont need to compete solo to win.
Something with gear and loot
I'm currently playing my new Jem'hadar recruit in STO.
I have been playing Everquest 2 for a few months now and I am enjoying myself. Lots of things to do and there are never enough hours in the day to do everything. The game isn't for everyone but if you get into a good guild it can be a rewarding one.
I was playing Path of Exile before this but I was making negative progress losing more experience than what I manage to eke out and it took its toll and I left. I like the game but seriously the trek to 100 is monstrous.

PoE seems to be either really easy for people or really hard.....I found it more on the difficult side also...I think my highest was around 50......EQ2 though is too easy....Some of the solo dungeons are just ridiculously easy.

My highest are level 88 in POE and I cannot seem to progress beyond that point. I think it has a lot to do with my gear. I could not afford exalt stuff though. It is a question of survival, I simply die out of nowhere and with no way to trace how you died without combat logs, there is no way to improve.
EQ2 dungeons in a full group is easy for sure but I do them with my mercenary and they are tough alone especially because I go in there when they mobs are yellow. Don't expect to group in EQ2, even in guild with people every one is doing their own thing. Some multibox so they do not need anyone. People are grouping at high levels and in my guild the members help each other do content at high levels. We don't raid much because we are all older and come on at different times. I mean our leader is 73 and most are old like 60+ like me. We don't raid much but they do sometimes do hard dungeons at max level.
There are more active guilds out there. I like my guild because when we need help there is always help to be found. Conversation in guild chat is great fun and we just hang out and play separately and some of the members work together regularly.
There is also lots of group request in general chat so grouping and playing together definitely goes on at high levels. My highest is only level 40 because I am playing through every bit of content tier by tier. I am a completionist and that is what is fun for me. I have come across so many interesting chain of quests as a result of playing this way.
My focus has changed over the years. I have done plenty of raiding in Everquest, FFXI, WoW and FFXIV. I don't enjoy it any more. I prefer doing content with a couple of people and raiding no longer holds any appeal to me. My gaming needs have changed and I am also older and not very nimble and I am getting afraid of taking on the roles I used to for fear of performing poorly. I don't think I can heal and play well in FFXIV any more. My hands have just slowed down a lot. I am also not keen to take on that level of stress the grouping in hard content is in FFXIV. I realised I can enjoy a game without taking on that level of anxiety to perform.
Like I said this game isn't for everyone. If you do not enjoy doing quests and facing a lot of the lower content alone it will be disappointing.
I returned to SWOTR for the past month or so, not to seriously play it, but just to experience the story elements again. From that perspective, its a really fun game for a bit.

Took me 4 months or so to get a character (Cyclone) to 94 in POE when I hit the "wall" and could not reach level 95 no matter what I did.
Talked to a player in game who was 95 and his advice was to do the safest, easiest maps I could find which I did try, but even on some of those death could suddenly surprise me.
Got as high as 94.80 before a series of seemingly random deaths while delving took me way back down again so I quit after 3 or 4 weeks of frustration.
I guess their intent is to encourage players to start over in a new season with a different build to do it all again, which I actually did but grew quickly bored never getting the character out of the low 80s.

I just jumped in SWL and jumped in the instance event going on right now .. This was just the people inside was plenty more in Argatha ..
Far from Dead:)
Its a great game .. very unique in the MMO world
I just installed SWL and started with my lvl 11 character..but i noticed this game have not been patched since oct, 2020 ..allmost 1 year with no patch ?
Yeah, the content comes at an unsteady trickle. What is there is excellent in terms of story, and puzzle solving provided you don't just look up the answers.
It is unique as Scorchien says and well worth playing through at least once for fans of horror and the supernatural.
I uninstalled it again since i losttrack of what i was doing a and the game crashed 5 times within 1 h and the animation and ui and combat was horrible..and its a shame cuz the rest is good enough. Also they only keep this game on life support by making events now and then.
That the game is on life support doesn't change it is worth a play through once for the story alone. The frequent crashes would be quite the bother though, especially in the more difficult areas. Oh well, hopefully they'll get it more stable at some point.

It's almost certainly the mods on the maps causing your quick deaths. for instance reflect on maps means you are probably killing yourself as the mobs will reflect the damage you deal to them.
If you are using a premade build guide they will likely go over several things to look out for. Your first build can be based around cheap gear anyway if you select it right.
If your goal is to just level then you need to be more aware of the mods and can play lower level maps. You also don't need to run maps with lots of modifiers. it will slow leveling but be much harder to die in.
Still playing Champions of Regnum. Still the best full 3D RvR open pvp mmorpg for budget hardware. The latest updates during May 2021 really modernised the game's mechanics: No more need to grind endlessly before RvR, detailed crafting. Immersive, visuals, music and casual chill pvp and RvR.
I still dabble in Age of Conan (the original mmorpg version), DDO and NWN from Bioware.
I think New World etc all look great. But im sceptical about the high hardware specs when Regnum really delivers the same gamplay, but with much more polished balance.
im also sceptical about any RvR features which depend on long term building of player factions/cities (i suspect New World and Crowfall does this). After about 1 yr or so, the game just settles into large static Guild vs Guild wars. Worst of all, these wars are often times in particular timeslots, so you can't just go out and war anytime. In Regnum, you can. Inevitably, large Guilds tend to end up needing a server reset (eg: Shadowbane). Though maybe the game could end up like EVE online.
I'm playing Albion for the last 4 months and surprisingly having a blast. Faction Warfare and Corrupted Dungeons are my favorite things to do in the game overall.
Still playing Return of Reckoning whenever I want to do some rvr and hoping on Gw2 time to time while waiting for the expansion.
Tried getting into New World but had to refund. The combat and animations are really a big turn off for me. I just couldn't get into it unfortunatelly.
Other then these I play Warframe time to time with my friends and waiting for Lost Ark to release.

Conan Exiles,
I still log in to BDO, GTA 5, PGA Tour 2K21. EVE and LotRO every so often. I won't say I am playing them though. Just doing log in checks.
Tried out ESO but it hasn't grabbed me yet. The first 2 mentioned eat up enough time tho
