Any good MMO atm?

So recently I grew a bit tired of the same grind in cRPG so, being the ex-mmo'er I am, I looked back in time.
So uhm... Turns out Warhammer Online is dead and gone now. Huh.
http://www.warhammeronline.com/
Can't say it's a suprise, the servers kept merging together and the population kept fading.
But now I'd like to know if any other MMO out there is worth playing now? I'm talking old and new.

Things I've considered (opinions?)

  • ArcheAge Online
  • Age of Conan (revisit)
  • RIFT (revisit)
  • Dragon's Prophet (looks kinda meh, but why the fuck not)

Any good or even remotely good MMOs worth trying out? I got some time to kill these days.

WoW vanilla/tbc private server?

I play tbc (14x xp realm) and the vanilla (blizzlike) realm. http://www.wow-one.com

Guild wars, maybe?

WoW Vanilla blizzlike realm for the best time killer.  8-) ( and alot of nostalgia, if you are gay fir like I am)

But he'll be around somewhere between Heaven and The Devil, because neither of them will take him in, and he'll be farting loudly and singing a filthy song.

If you didn't try Guild Wars 2 yet get that. No subscription and worth a play through with 1 character to finish the story.

Besides that I'd wait and see how Archeage turns out. You could try Darkfall if you want something hardcore (both hardcore game mechanics and hardcore grinding)

Its not an MMO but i'm a bit addicting to levelling in Payday 2 atm
If you have ranged troubles use this:

Yeah I played quite a bit on Warsong, got 4 60s and like 3 twinks (expensive as fuck I can tell ya).
Problem with that server is that everyone is T2+ and Naxx is almost on grind.

I thought a bit about going x1 on a vanilla server, but not sure I can be bothered leveling... 1 - 60 vanilla style was far worse than the nostalgia makes it out to be :(

I tried Guild Wars 2, was kinda put off by the whole "everyone is equal in pvp" thing they've got going on. I don't know, it's probably my old WoW gamer in me that likes to rek other people with the gear you've earned :3

So true, I would go try Emerald Dream as well but shit.. cba leveling 1-60.

Anyway, I'm waiting for ArcheAge myself (imo currently the best option for AAA MMO on the market), also Black Desert seems promising.

Great to have you here in a MMO thread, Vibe.

Oh and Blade & Soul - thoughts?

Black Desert just got an EU/NA publisher, which is the same company as in the east, but no date. Blade & Soul is okayish, combat is a bit more interesting than the standard tabtarget, but in the end it's very themeparky. Imo it's not gonna do well in the west.

ArcheAge's date is 2014, I think it's gonna be released in the coming 2-3 months, considering they're doing pretty big closed beta tests lately (I managed to grab 4 or 5 keys for the last closed beta).

I've already played it to max level in russian beta, only checked it out for an hour in EU CB. No more keys, and EU Closed Beta 2 ends tomorrow anyway (was only like 4 days long, more of a stress test). Just keep an eye out for keys that are being handed out on various sites. Also I advise against buying any of those packs for early access and whatnot, they're just not worth it.

Yeah I figured. Especially since the game itself is f2p upon launch. I'm just not hyped enough to want special epeen titles and capes.

How's the game?

I used to be a big MMO guy, but now it seems like it's all too easy. The joy is in the devastating, oppressive, time consuming difficulty. Like vanilla WoW, Anarchy Online, EQ.
http://www.project1999.com/
EQ server with quite a large population. It's great....ly tedious...  but that's just my kind of game.
Velious is/has been coming out for the past year, so they're still on Kunark. The best part about old MMO's would be that there is no pay to win.

It's good imo. It's a sandpark, kind of a mix between themepark and sandbox. I wrote more about my impressions here and here

The new server ' emerald dream' has yet to see AQ opened, but it is x1 experience, if you enjoy the leveling experience (and grind) i 'd really advice you to test it! I am currently playing more often on the TBC 14x xp realm as I only play a few hours a week. If you power level you could get to 70 there within a day.  :)
