Looking for a new MMO

Post by Twotribes »

I know most of you probably don't play massive multiplayer online games but I am looking for a new one. Currently playing Neverwinter. Have played DDO and EQ in the past.

What I really want is one that allows you to build your own little keep and land, wishful thinking indeed.

So any new medievaltype settings Fantasy of course?

I played ddo for a couple of years till I got bored with it. I've not played any other. However there is a Pathfinder mmo in the works. Do a search on Goblin Works (I think).

This might be possible in EQnext.

I also started with UO and EQ and wish there would be still any half-decent title which doesn't bore me to tears after 30 min. of gameplay. Seems the age of subscription-based MMO's is gone. Only straggler is Elder Scrolls Online, which will be available in april 2014.

I tried to play UO but got ganked every time I left town and then corpse camped. I gave up in disgust.

Hmm, not sure what happened here.

"Ganked" is getting killed by a player, or team of players, at a much higher level than you, that you have no ope of winning against.

Yup, that was a problem. But with Trammel UO got a bluebie server.

However, EQ was more intriguing for me due to the 3D engine and d&d-inspired system. Played it from the get-go until 2006.

Let me guess: RPG type games?

[edit]
Yes, other types MMO games exist. Wargames too.
You know what they say, don't you? About how us MechWarriors are the modern knights, how warfare has become civilized now that we have to abide by conventions and rules of war. Don't believe it.

Ahhhh the good ole days ... hehe

Not sure if you are looking for free MMOs or being picky. There is Rift, Star Trek Online, Lord of the Ring Online, of course crappy World of Warcraft. Do you like regular RPG or PVP, perhap both? I played alot of MMOs and i enjoy PvP myself and its funny to see players out there with ragequit lol.

Age of Conan is very good, now it's matured substantially (and it wasn't bad on release). The only one I actually play occasionally these days is The Secret World, but that isn't an elves and goblins job, of course.

Guild Wars 2, much less grind than other mmo's I've played and its cooperative so you don't get that kill steal issue.
