Runescape has weekly updates, a large community, vocal devs and limitless hours of gameplay. Its a lot less grindy, lot better graphics and much more to do since 2004-2008 when most people heard about it/played it. Its music rivals WoW's as well.

I was a long time RS player, but the updates have gotten out of hand. It's also more about Quality, not Quantity.

Eve Online is the only MMO worth checking. The rest are either bad wow-clones or "We can do better then Wow because we are so different" but failed to do so.

You could try oldschool runescape. I've been playing osrs waiting for WoD and I'm absolutely loving it. Setting your own goals, doing stuff that actually feels rewarding etc.

I'm also playing TERA on and off which is fun, but what I dislike most about it is the movement feeling cheap as well as the combat feeling clunky. You could try getting into the ArcheAge beta weekend as well. I got my beta key yesterday and I can't wait trying it out.

GW2 could be fun but I didn't enjoy it quite as much. The camera movement felt weird draggy and camera/movement is everything to me.

By the list you wrote out it doesn't really sound like you enjoyed those games since you seem to have quit them so quickly. Why don't you try something other than a theme park MMO?

[ATZenith]

I am switching to a game called Destiny. Haven't been feeling WoW or WoD tbh.

Hello! My name is [----]

I would like to ask the community what MMO I could check out until WoD comes out.

As a preface, I enjoy many styles, I've played FFXIV, WildStar, ESO, of course WoW, was a huge fan of city of heroes in the past.

Just looking for something to kill time

I mainly want a game that's not dead, I'd even go back to FF if I knew if the community was still alive.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

ok well try wildstar its a great game , but if you want soemthing f2p go Neverwinter online , its a good game to pass these couple moths :P

[Deleted]

Playing on really good active realms in both Wildstar and Realm Reborn and enjoying both, plenty of Archeage beta keys around if you want a Vanilla wow type sandbox game.....they are all very good

[Trix]

GW2 and Rift are probably the best after WoW. SWTOR has a good story for levelling to 50, but a poor engine and gameplay.

I think FF is doing pretty well.

[SkagenRora]

Vindictus is really fun imo :3

[RoninaThorstone]

Try these.

I would also recommend Neverwinter online if you don't mind your character moving like he/she has a stick up their ass. Seriously though, it's a beautiful game and I would recommend it.#

Another game that's AMAZING if you don't mind the instancing is Vindictus. The movement and the combat is absolutely amazing, my only problem with it is that everything is instanced much so like neverwinter online is, but again, the combat is AMAZING.

Try these.

Most of them are rubbish

I know you asked for MMOs, but try Smite

[RoninaThorstone]

Vindictus is really fun imo :3

Yes, it is!

Playing Vella right now myself. I love the new city.

Best games to to play are games who completly play different then wow.
Defiance / the secret world are good examples , but they get rather repetitive. But its great fun for a while.

TERA has a good combat system imo.

EVE is also great, but do not expect a WoW style MMO. You will have to put a little bit of work into it.

[Heathy]

I would probably say Tera or Rift, both pretty good but don't have anywhere near the same production quality as wow.

Having put at least 5 years into EVE and not played it for at least a year an a half, i would say, its not to be taken lightly. it requires a certain time investment to even break the metaphorical cellophane wrap. I played for at least 6 months before i grasped the basic jist of the game, but it is very unique in terms of pvp and community. some of the community are cool, lots of ppl are ass hat elitists. and thats being kind, probably won't find a game with greater depth though, in terms of loot and progression its on a scale that is hilarious, you do get gear for your ships but you could play it for years and never see purple mods (officer loot). hell it'll take you about a year before your even able to grind your own dedspace loot (blue). and thats still a maybe, its progression curve is like no other game, its about inflicting losses on your enemies while minimizing your own, when it comes right down to it, Eve is a Hoarders dream, because that is the only real goal, hoard as much stuff as you can. because you will eventually be attracted to pvp as it is the only 'end game' that exists so you want to build up as much buffer as you can before going into it. that would be my break down, for a new player thinking about playing Eve, be prepared to spend a year or more building up assets and learning the game mechanics, then branch out into null and alliance activities/warfare, you could stay in high sec indefinitely but you'd be missing out on a large portion of what makes the game special.

[Deadite]

That was encouraging D:

It is also total nonsense.

I think GW2 is pretty great. Star Wars is also well worth it for the class stories alone. I tend to enjoy most mmo for atleast a few months. More than enough time to justify the box price imho.There are plenty of free mmos that are well worth playing. Go nuts really. You never know what you will like untill you try them.

Ok Im expecting a no, it doesn't exist with this but are there any AAA MMOs that are more like fantasy life simulators and not that action based? I mean where the world wouldn't conveniently be filled with monsters to kill and you'd actually have to go out to find one instead of grinding them behind the fence of a local farm. Something where you could become a blacksmith or a shopkeeper etc. and wouldn't even have to fight anything.

I've tried looking for games of the like and the only one i have tried which isn't triple A by any stretch of the imagination(it runs on java), check out wurm online maybe, its the only sort of fantasy mmo-ish (not hugely populated although last time i loaded it up the launcher showed there were over 1k ppl playing spread across maybe 10 or so servers) game that i know of where you can actually pick up a trade and work on it, exactly like your asking for really, farming blacksmithing woodcutting fishing mining cooking etc etc. its more of a cross between minecraft (a game notch actually worked on before mc) and perhaps a village sim. there are monsters but fighting is not mandatory unless you go on a pvp server maybe. its hit or miss really, you'll either like it or you'll hate it, the only other game like it i suppose which i don't even think has an alpha even yet, Life is feudal. maybe there are others but i haven't found them. life is feudal looks more graphically pleasing than wurm if you can be bothered to wait for it.

i'm actually curious now if there is another one hiding out there somewhere. it seems to me that the sandbox rpg hasn't quite reached triple A studios, they're all made by indie developers still.

edit: after mentioning wurm i decided to go back in and hooked up with some old buds if you decide to give it a try hit me up on xanadu i use the same name in game. willing to help anyone get started with tips ect.
