MMO recommendations

FFXIV is the best current MMO.

Is the lore/immersion any good?
I feel some instinctive rejection towards very cartoony or asian-styled games.

>>387997375
It's Final Fantasy, so naturally its very anime-inspired. I haven't finished the main scenario but have heard it gets pretty good from multiple sources.

>>387997375
Just make sure you have plenty of time to kill, there's a 3 second global cooldown between all your abilities. Just enough time to cast a spell, go to the kitchen grab a drink and be back in time before you're allowed to use another ability.

No its not a meme

WoW is still king

Bitch stop lying. First of all it's 2.5s, that makes a shit ton of a difference. secondly it doesn't take the huge amount of oGCD abilities that are required to weave in, which is why it's so high in the first place. It's nothing but a fucking meme.

whats the point of mmos

It is pretty long when you're used to abilities doing their thing a lot faster from other games of a similar nature.

It does feel better upon leveling up higher and getting most of your skillset. While I enjoy the game plenty, a lot of jobs do feel like shit low level. I main black mage and I hate being below 60, everything feels like garbage without fire 4, since the class changes to just fishing for procs instead of what it usually does.

Breaking out a classic for your achievement.

Star trek online.

Space combat falls in between eve cancer and freelancer oversimplified so its actually good.

Plus its actually fun. F2p aren't punished at all by being f2p either unlike swtor etc.

No paywalls since you can turn the in game currencies into the cash shop currency.

Remember that old MMO you wanted to play but you never got the chance to? Go find a server for that game.

>>387997219
>FFXIV is the best current dungeon queue simulator
Ftfy

Also if you decide to play ffxiv and you're interested in engame content just buy an account instead doing the msq and the levelling slog yourself.

>>388005579
I play on kupo private server. best one i've found

Star Trek Online

Also has the best (arcadey) Imperial Guard simulator in the form of ground combat.

Which just makes it even better

>the closest we'll get to having an IG game is a star trek mmo.

>>388005885

>Implying MMOs are worth playing by yourself

>>388006252
Old dead mmos are some of the least lonely mmos I've played.

Face it, it's boring uninspired shit, just like modern WoW, just like any other modern MMO. The entire genre peaked years ago and is on a steep decline.

>>388006252
STO has minuscule bandwidth requirements and the story arcs from 0-60 play out like a single player game with pve's and pvp's for whenever you want to group play. Or you can play any story or found mission as a group ( which proportionally increases the 'difficulty')

>>387997179
If you like grinding, Guild wars 2.
There's something about this game that makes me come back every time after 5 years still

Looks like I have to try Guild Wars 2 now for sextuple sake.

Not even a get like this could make me play this piece of shit again. I still feel betrayed for how they ruined everything that made the first one great.

>SWTOR

Is it? You would think due to all this Star Wars hype it's doing better than ever. I've been meaning to get back to it and try out the rest of the character story arcs I've missed out on, especially the Republic side.
