Best MMO's?

[CCap]

Hey guys:

 

I'm currently looking around for a new MMO to play. I used to love MMO's like ToonTown as a kid, and I don't know if I'll ever be able to replicate the fun I had in that game (logging on and leveling up your Gags with friends literally was the best time of my life, to be honest). But, I am going to try to find one that is similar.

 

I don't even know what MMO's are slightly popular now of days (other than ESO, but I really don't find it that interesting). 

 

Any suggestions?

Realm of the mad god.

Eve online is a pretty good MMO. It is however quiet hard to get into and requires a bit off resilience in the first few months. Also it isn't super kind to casual players haha. But if you like complex and rewarding PVP, PVE, Economic gameplay, its a definite must try in my books.

I enjoy Guild Wars 2, and I generally hear pretty good things about Rift and Lord of the Rings Online. And with the latter two, there's no box cost, so it's free to try.

 

Wildstar seems interesting, but when it eventually comes out I think it'll have a sub fee, so it's up to you whether you like that or not.

Archeage is currently filling the gap for people who aren't interested in ESO and Wildstar. I'm currently enjoying it a lot and haven't been this addicted to an MMO since WoW was released.

 

Flip side is it's currently in Alpha, and you have to either get an invite or pay for the Founder's Pack. But, I think the Beta will start in a month or so?

I know that many people don't likes a subscription system, but WoW still the best IMO

I signed up for Beta, if I like the beta, I might buy one of the 3 Founder Ranks... It seems like it would be a really fun game, I guess I'll just have to wait and find out.

I downloaded Rift and completed the first few quests- seems like an interesting game. I'll have to check out Guild Wars 2 later though.

Eve seems a bit too intense for me right now. I'm not that Hardcore, especially with Finals coming in the next 3 weeks. Maybe over the summer I'll no life the heck out of the game. I'll see how things go.

Archeage is the most compelling option right now.  In the end ESO and Wildstar are just WoW clones with updated graphics and more action based combat.  The sandbox aspect of Archeage is really interesting as well as the sheer amount of stuff you can do, reminds me of Mabinogi in a sense.

Wildstar is in open beta right now, try it out.

World of Warcraft. Here are a few reasons to try it:

1. There is nearly a decades worth of content to enjoy

2. Very large player base

3. Runs on very basic systems, while still having a distinct style that it still looks good on high end machines.

4. It is a fun game, especially when you start making friends and joining raid groups.

^This I tried it today it seems pretty good.

As fun as it seems, is it worth the $150 to get Alpha access?

I'll have to try this out for sure.

WoW hands down. I own Guild Wars 2 myself, I've played the wildstar beta a few times, I've played Tera and other basic MMO's out there

WoW is still the king. Wildstar may have some great features, but I don't like sci-fi MMO's

Archeage seems really good though, but I won't be switching any time soon.

.......
Final Fantasy XIV
.......or Guild wars 2.
I cant say much for Archage, i haven't tried yet it but ESO and Wildstar were boring for me, you could always try Ragnarok or Mabinogi if your ok with something "anime ish" or sprite like rather then Fancy 3D.
To lazy to bother remembering any other MMMORPG right now.

If you like free to play-throw-alot-of-money-at-the-screen-for-nothing-special game then: Cosmic Break takes the crown....

Go with WoW.

 

I own GW2 / ESO / played the Wildstar beta / Tera / Rift, so I've seen a lot of them.

WoW is simply the best after all. And I begun playing WoW last from all mmo's I tried, I fell in love

[Puma911]

I've played Tera, GW2, Wildstar, WoW and Eve. So far my favorites are Tera and Wildstar. WoW just feels very childish to me. I'm really getting into Wildstar and I'll probably end up buying it.

The only other mmo I had fun with besides World of Warcraft is Guild Wars 2. I tried Rift, Lord of the Rings Online, Neverwinter, Requiem Bloodymare, 4Story and many others but I did not enjoyed them very much.

I played SWTOR in beta and I enjoyed it but it was only few hours ago I can't tell much about how good it is. You may wait for Wildstar however. I tried beta recently and it was good.
