Max level tends to kill games for many people. Before you get to max level, you don't have obligations and the "grind" is pretty varied (different leveling areas, etc.). At max level, progression changes up a bit. Many people …

What is enjoyable combat? Tabbed or action one? Spells that require mana or spells that does not require mana, yet have cooldown? Easy to kill monsters or those that only 50 players can kill?
What is enjoyable content? only PvE, o…

MMO burnout. Your list includes every major release sans Rift, SWTOR, Archeage, and Wildstar.
Really, look at your list. Out of all those games, is there really all that much different between them at the core? Most of the…

Interesting. Why did you get bored in 3?
It was just more of the same that 1 and 2 were. There isn't really a cohesive story, and the gameplay really didn't change much, so I just got bored. I got to Farron's Keep (or how…

DARK SOULS
...there are even multiplayer elements.
Yeah, it's like a definition of doom + gloom(or is it? You answer that), but that's one seriously fun game trilogy.
Just play Dark Souls.
I played Dark Souls 1 and 2, …

OP, I think you have taken a stab at anything worthwhile out there. There probably isn't some mystical game out there that is so good and will satisfy your needs that you haven't heard of.
Probably. But I don't want to…

Jokes aside, based on what you are saying, I think your issue has nothing to do with games being too "dark and gloomy". It sounds like you have a problem with MMOs feeling unrewarding.
It might be useful to think about games in terms…

Villagers and Heroes might be worth a shot http://www.villagersandheroes.com/category/featured/
I swear I've played that before. I don't really know, since it was so long ago, but the art style just looks so familiar. I c…
Okay, so apparently my original post is too old to edit, so I'm adding this here. I'm going to list as many games as I can remember playing, and explain why I liked / disliked them, and why I quit.
* Maplestory. I played this when I was little, an…

Threads like this are always a challenge when they are missing the list of games already played and discarded.
What was enjoyed previously and why can also be helpful.
Alrighty, I'll go and add in all the games I remem…

Hmmm. Lighthearted, huh? Might be a bit tough. Assuming you want to avoid more family oriented titles like Wizard 101, I can only think of Marvel Heroes and DCUO. Fun combat is, obviously subjective, but I think DCUO's comba…

hm, more "light hearted" than wildstar? will be hard to find
No I loved Wildstar, but it seems like no one else did, and I don't think the game is goinna last much longer. : /

I've tried Trove, and just got tired of it.
How long has it been? Eclipse expansion or before?
Either way, Nov 14th is a major expansion update (Adventures)
Check out the pages of patch notes here:

Last game I played and beat was Ori and the Blind Forest. Beautiful game, and really fun, but so short and easy. : / Only lasted me 8 hours, and I got 100% completion.
I wish good games were around more, and longer. >.>

Yeah, I just downloaded and tried SWTOR the other day and, even though I didn't get very far, I can tell the game is going to be kind of dull later on. : / The story is kind of generic feeling, but it is interes…
I'm definitely considering buying the expansion. I loved the vanilla GW2 until I ran out of content and burned out on Fractal spam all day, but now that they have raiding... I'll have to really think about it. People tell me that the raids are fun, …
So, I know I really don't do anything to deserve a key, but I'd like to give BDO a try, and see if it's my kind of game. Just been without an MMO to call home for close to two years now, and I miss having one to play. : /
Although, honestly, they s…

What I want is a game that isn't built for autistic monkeys who can't even dress themselves in the morning, much less play a video game.

What you really want, but don't realize it, is to be able to undo the gaming experiences you've had for the last 10 years. That way, things that used to be new and exciting but are now mundane and boring could be new again once…
