Nah, it's doing better than ever actually.

Proffesional here.

>FF14
Good, but is undoubtedly has the word pace of any MMO ever created. If you want to go extremely slow yet play a very polished game, go with FF14.

>Oldschool Runescape
Unique from other MMOs in many different ways, but you can easily burn out on it and after a certain point you really have to grasp reasons to keep playing such as trying to max out a skill or some other goal you set for yourself.

>SWTOR
Has pretty good PvP and class design (even if a lot of skills are stolen from WoW) but unfortunately suffers from everything else you probably already know about it. I don't recommend this but it's worth mentioning anyway.

There are your three options OP. You'll find yourself going back to WoW anyway. I always do.

It occurs when the propositions, taken together, yield two conclusions which form the logical, usually opposite inversions of each other.

The secret world has pretty neat questing, immersing clues within the world to guide the player throughout. Just not all the time.

>>377037272
I feel somewhat similar about Guild Wars 2 in reference to your Runescape comment.

>>377039551
Elder Scrolls Online was a massive missed opportunity.


A good MMO I believe needs the following:

>A strong, persistent community of players.
>Open-ended, non-linearity. Sandbox as opposed to theme-park.
>Give players and by further extension groups of players (guilds/clans/parties/ect.) the tools to construct and influence their world.

A thought of it is why not let the players build their own fortresses, raids, and dungeons. It could be the super mario maker of mmos. A mix of developer and player collaboration.

The general downsides is that it would likely be more instance based in this regard. So not fully open world.

I play ffxiv and i'm really tired of the game. All of the dungeons are shit, raids and primals are just dodge 10000 aoes and do 10000000 tanks swaps in same circular arena. Only crafting is really fun.
I really fucking hate that everything is so instanced in ffxiv. I wish that there were more contents like giant S ranks and Special fates. I want open world mmo, not lobby shit.
AND PVP. It's so fucking bad in xiv. Why i can't PK?

Im still bitter as fuck, i played that game on/off for 10+ years and accumulated 250-300d /played (reugh estimate, had 180d on almost maxed main and a bunch of other characters over the years)... and then they proceeded to gradually ruin the game beyond any repair, evolution of combat was the final nail in the coffin.

I almost started OSRS upon release but i simply had 0% trust in Jagex and the remaining community. And as expected, OSRS has been bastardized to a high degree already. Not to mention that like 80% of player base are bots.

Well if it's any help, there was recently a very large graphical overhaul update, and also he intends for the game to cost 40 dollars instead.

The graphical overhaul has like a billion problems like crashing people's games or not letting them log in, and the price model still sucks, but hey it's progress right?

Personally I think it's a fun game, but I'm definitely only playing it because it's free. If he charged 40 dollars for the game as it is, I'd be extremely upset. If you consider it as a free game since the release date is nowhere near close to now it's definitely worth a look.

Will we ever get an MMO in which youre the owner of an Inn, a bartender or craftsman of sorts, that has any relevance on the world at all?

I want something where you belong to a city that can be razed to the ground by mobs and other players, im which there are builder classes that are in charge of fortiftying structures and if the place doesnt have a balance of crafters and fighters it will go to shit.

Black Desert Online is a pretty fun MMO that's constantly being updated.

The downside is that you're going to have to buy some mandatory things from the real money cash shop to be relevant. (Inventory space, weight limit, pets that auto loot items for you).

Nothing really stat-wise is sold from the cash shop, so it's not entirely pay to win. The only reason why it's pay to win is because all of the quality of life things you can buy from the cash shop is pretty much mandatory for a good experience.


Besides all that pay to win bullshit you hear about BDO, it's a great game. Think about it like this, if you played WOW, you payed 15 a month for probably 2-3 years. that's well over how much you'd pay for black desert online to get all the essentials from the cash shop.

I want to get back into an MMO like WoW but can't think of anything to do outside of raiding. These games aren't really fun by yourself. In the ten or more years I've been playing MMO's I've never made a friend who I kept in-contact with.

Or even found a guild with a competent raiding schedule. Make time and get myself ready only for a last minute cancellation because the guild leaders mom got a yeast infection or something.

LOTRO is quite fun if you like atmosphere.
Like taking it chill and doing professions is really fun. You have to pay for some stuff that is not mandatory (extra zones). Butt you can grind the currency with achievements that you will eventually do.

Also the pvp mode is great. You can have like an alt account where you lvl a max level mob like an orc or a giant spider.

>>377036592
WoW was never good for quests. I think that is the problem. People are thinking the old archaic ways is what made old WoW good. It wasn't. It was socializing with other dumbfucks and raiding/pvp. After about a month of playing anyone who got hooked into another month of play time was actually pvping or raiding/dungeon running. Most new mmos suck ass because the end game is ass and they want to nickel and dime the fuck out of you because they don't have the massive funds blizzard has to polish new content.

The sandbox concept doesn't work in a shared non-instanced world without having vast stretches of empty and generic land for retarded shit like player housing. Devs only solution is injecting repetitive procedurally generated content or wasting time and money to handcraft an equivalent amount of content that only a handful of people will fully experience or care about.

FFXIV is only good if you're a hypercasual. If you try to put any effort into the game you'll quickly realize how everything is designed for people who quit the game and return every 8 months. People who actually play month to month are basically an afterthought.

>>377054038

This is bait.

I've been playing this game for a few months now, and I feel overwhelmed with how much shit there is to do.

FFXIV is basicly weeb wow
TESO i mean just look at metacritic and how delusional bethesdacucks here are
GW2 terrible at launch but raids and the new stuff are alright. Gets too much hate from the gw1 fanbase.
>>
What I just want is an isometric mmorpg which plays like dota2, lol, battlerite and not like another Diabloclone like PoE.
>>
>>377057390
So what do you do then? FFXIV has always been log on for raid progression/farm, get capped, then log off. The game offers about 20-30 hours a week during progression and 3 hours a week maximum once the content is on farm. After that I log off. Then after 8 clears and I get my BiS I unsub until they raise the ilvl. Since the creator tier has been the most casual and easiest yet, there has been no reason to play that game for months.

The game suffers from such awful game design. Whoever's in charge of the way systems are implemented, especially the UI, should've been fired from the beginning. For every cool thing BD has there's a truckload of negatives you're forced to put up with.

>UI has tons of options, menus, video hooking, internet link hooking, everything loads super fast. Honestly the most well coded UI I've seen in an mmo that's extremely snappy and lightweight
>Means nothing because the UI design for everything is a disaster and only serves as a barrier of entry to new players who quit very early because nothing's explained
>Friends list doesn't work

Are wc3 custom maps still a thing in 2017? I tried dota 2 but it just doesn't have those rpg games like wc3. I mean they tried to port TBR but failed because the editor has some problems.

Most of the people talking about GW2 are either pve shitters or never actually played the game. The combat in GW2 only really shined WvW which Anet either ignores or just shits on for ending their esport dreams.

I tried re-subbing to WoW but I barely played and now I want to play again, but I know I'll do the same thing.

Also will I have enough time to hit endgame before Stormblood comes out?

At least you acknowledge that you're a pve shitter. And no, stacking, blasting for might stacks, while spamming skills doesn't really show GW2's combat.

>>377063617
The spreadsheet simulator thing is a meme, but the way the game works completely bars out new players. Getting your shit blown up every time you warp is definitely not beginner friendly. It's why the game will never grow

The funny thing is that WoW also got some really shitty raiding several years in a row by now. Only good thing are mythic dungeons but you burn out on those really fast too. It's a shit game, always has been.

>>377067787
That's actually the purpose of Energy systems etc its just people multibox/run alts 24/7 to get around that. You can't stop poopsockers they will buy a game 5x over if it means they can combine to get an advantage.

Tip

Do your job quests every 5 levels and do your hunting log for extra xp. At 15 do your shitty job tutorial missions for an up to lv 30 xp boost ring. The quest giver should be at any major city inn.

>>377036402

>>377036592
You have a very casual perspective on it, in fact I would say Wildstar is right up your alley with that sort of description.

The world element and the RPG element both need a heavy revamping for the MMORPG genre. A journey through the world should be deeper than mindlessly walking straight from one area to the other with no regard for the travel between. The new Zelda has a world with light emphasis on being living and breathing, if you are cold and jump in cold water you can die; wearing warm clothing in hot areas makes you weary. I'm not saying survival elements is all that matters, but it's an important piece to making the player feel part of that world. Compared to single player open-world games, MMORPGs are still in the dark ages as far as the worlds themselves are concerned.
