I played WoW a bit after its initial release through the first couple xpacs. Getting the MMO itch again, but I know the WoW I grew up with doesn't really exist anymore, so now I'm pretty out of touch.

For those of you playing / recently played an MMO, which one? How's the community? How's the lore? Gameplay in pve/pvp/rvr?

All of them. If it exists I'm on there.

Currently I try to decide between New World and Guild Wars 2. Can't play both but not sure which to pick ....

I was playing to Elder Scrolls but they revamped the interface and since it's horrible.

Star Citizen is my guilty pleasure. Get online with a group of friends and do some missions, emersion style, role play hijinks. The space elevator of death will forever be in our hearts.

Honestly, the only game that’s scratched that old MMO itch for me is Old School Runescape.

But, by and large… it’s not an MMO. Give this video a watch!

HorizonXI. It's a classic Final Fantasy XI server.

I grew up playing XI and wanted to get back into it, but the retail server is a solo experience these days. Horizon has been incredible to relive my childhood on Horizon, and the community is amazing. It's certainly not for everyone but I'm so glad to have it in my life.

I was lucky in that the ffxi US beta was my first dive into an MMO. And I think it's one of the best games ever, but the harsh reality is that it's hard and tedious, especially for folks who only have experience with super hand holdy MMOs like they mostly are today. If you can get into it, it can be like crack, but I really feel like most people won't have the patience for it these days.

This isn't me saying don't try it. Try it for sure. Just be ready for a huge time sink. It doesn't help you at all.

I absolutely agree. XI is hard and a huge time sync. I don't think most gamers would enjoy it at all, and most of my enjoyment comes from nostalgia and the sense of community.

  • Star Wars Galaxies, A New Hope launched in July and doesn't have any of the BS restrictions in place like SWGEMU does. Play on multiple toons, use of macros and scripts, ultimate fun.

I was playing Wrath Classic when it came but the wow token and GDKPs absolutely killed the experience. Wow itself has had some good changes and announcements lately, it might be worth revisiting that a little to see if you might be interested again.

Another option is Hardcore, which does somewhat feel interesting and old school again.

Started festia online and I really like it! But I'm new and I'm lost.

I started playing DC Universe Online again for the first time in a decade+ a few weeks ago. Forgot how much fun creating a super hero is. I'm on PC, which I guess has crossplay with playstation?

Player population is hit and miss. The cities are a tad empty, though there's almost always other people doing the same mission as you. But if you go to a major hub, like GCPD or Watchtower central hub, tons of players, especially on like a Saturday night. Game's definitely not dead, and chat is very active.

Character customization via the styles tab is endless, and by default it has transmog so your gear doesn't have to affect your appearance if you don't want.

I hear the f2p model gets predatory near end game but i'm not there yet so I can't confirm. Either way, having fun so far.

Anymore, occasionally, I'll hop back into Wakfu or I'll play Dofus Touch on my phone. Otherwise I don't play MMOs at all.
