Hello, are people here playing MMOs? What’s your favorite one?
Star Trek Online - I really like the ship combat. It does get a bit repetitive after a while, so I take breaks to reset mentally.
Lotro - great community, great designs on raid encounters in endgame, where you will die if not everyone plays their role, starting from tier 2. Tier 1 is always designed as a learning experience before moving to tier 2, which makes it great for casuals like myself to get into. Only issue I have is the bloat of leveling, where you now have to go endless hours untill reaching endgame, almost mostly without seeing other players, as those areas are now empty. Feels more like a mediocre Singleplayer game during that time. Otherwise I have started recently on tWoW, lots of people to quest with, which is great 😃
How is the new update? I would love to get into it but I have trouble with how dated it is sometimes.
Honestly, I haven’t yet played it. The newest update introduces just a new quest zone in Gondor to prepare for the next expansion, coming this autumn. Not so much group content in this, so people still play the gundabad and carn dûm group content. With the raid in carb dûm now only being out for like 2 month, and only being introduced to tier 3, this is still the relevant endgame content to play in.
Star Wars: The Old Republic
It’s not as expansive as many MMORPGs are for dungeons and raiding (flashpoints and operations) unless you subscribe and join an active guild. However, the RPG storylines with player choices are fabulous.
The base game is free and there are a ton of activities to participate in without having to spend any money. Events rotating on a regular basis, PVE, PVP, start-fighter action, or just play solo and explore a ton of planets and storylines. If you want to dip your toes further into the expansions, subscribe for one month and they all become available permanently.
Definitely worth a try for someone looking for casual entertainment with end-game playability if one wishes to do so.
Used to play a ton of MMOs. Ffxiv was probably my favourite. Tons to do though I mostly focussed on trying to do the difficult boss content. Non existent PvP though which is probably the only downside. New world was quite fun, looks like they added a bunch of new stuff there too but it’s probably not a game that will keep you entertained for a long time. I played archeage as well. Had a very modular class system and the combat was very entertaining imo though it became a p2w type of game.
You might want to check out FFXIV again, when End walker dropped they redid the PvP systems. I mostly just like to run content and hang with my FC, but a lot of people seem to enjoy the new PvP.
Owh thats good to know might give it a go again
Warframe is in my favourite. Be a space ninja doing flips while electrocuting a whole room of enemies before blowing them up with your hand carried cannon. Also fair monetisation and a very friendly community.
I second this. Warframe is fantastic and so well done. It never feels pay to win.
