    New Rift expansion is coming out soon.

    WoW is really the only MMO worth your time in the end.

    Neverwinter is free and its pretty fun. Not as good as wow of course. The controls for it are similar to skyrim but better. It has pretty cool quests and dungeons. Its free.

    Try Everquest 2, it's still excellently designed. And perhaps the last Grand MMO in active live development.

    Firefall is an enjoyable experience and definitely worth a try at least if you like shooters. It was the first MMO in quite a long time to suck me in. I burnt myself out on it though after a month of constantly playing, lol. Their f2p system is one of the best.

    or that great feeling of owning a certain item you wanted for so long, where I feel that lacks in wow for me at the moment.

    yep all the great mount hunts from yester year seem to be replaced in wow now by the cash shop

    Do you have any suggestions of great MMOs/Rpgs you've played?


    Games I have already played/tried:

    Wildstar
    Guild Wars 2
    Rift
    Archage
    Star Wars: The Old Republic
    The Secret World
    if you want something requiring time, try eve online

    MMOs like WoW.

    I am trying to find some MMOs like WoW. Now what I am trying to find is games with a similar interface. Like action bars on the bottom of the screen. Yes, I already know about SWTOR, Rift and LoTRO.

    Thanks!

    I would say that Rift is a really close feel to WoW

  12. #2272
    Swtor, Rift, FF14, Lotro, Everquest, Aion... /shrug
    (Warframe) - Dragon & Typhoon-
    (Neverwinter) - Trickster Rogue & Guardian Fighter -

    Definitly Rift as the closest to the WoW "feel". Plus, its f2p with a lot of content.

  14. #2274
    World of Warcraft is a 2nd era MMO. Games like Tera and Guild Wars 2 are 3rd wave MMOs, not like World of Warcraft- or more appropriately, 2nd era game design in the MMORPG genre.

    These are actively developed 2nd era MMOs:

    Rift
    Star Wars: The Old Republic
    Everquest 2
    Lord of the Rings Online
    Runes of Magic
    Allods
    Perfect World International
    Final Fantasy 11
    Final Fantasy 14
    Lineage 1 & 2
    Aion
    Age of Wushu
    Archeage
    Gran Fantasia
    Age of Conan
    The Secret World
    Forsaken World
    Champions of Regnum

    OP, you say you are already aware of Rift and SWTOR. So barring any objection to those two games, I would recommend those as the finest in 2nd era design that remains a fair value. Provided you have the stamina, Everquest 2, LOTRO and FF14 offer also well made 2nd era design.

    I'd recomend rift UNTIL you reach 40, the lvling from 40 to 60 is just awful, i'm stuck at 57 because i just got tired of it and started to go back to gw2-planetside 2
    Cod has a new campaign, new weapons, new multiplayer levels every year. Zelda has been recycling the same weapons, villains, and dungeons since the 80's. Zelda recycles enough to make cod blush. The same weapons, villains, dungeons, and princess in every single Zelda for the most part. It's almost as cheesy as bowser vs Mario round 35

    you should really check the sticky thread though for request a game, this thread will get locked. ppl ask these types of questions a lot so you can find this exact information in that sticky.
    Tera - a MMO just like WoW. Because right now in WoW I effin aim my fireballs with my mage.

    What's your malfunction?

    Wow man you seem a bit salty, want more sea water for your sat deposit? it's not like anyone's insulting wow or something, he just quoted a known mmo.

    it still has an action bar, it might have target-less combat but the concept is exactly the same, level up, get gear, do raids or pvp, the only real difference between wow and tera is that there is more emphasis on personal positioning. in wow, your either grouped or spread out (in which case everything rests on the healers shoulders), in tera you just avoid as much as you can and not be 'that' guy that doesn't move from all the abilities (its quite possible to take zero damage in a boss fight in tera). its like a beat-em-up, where your just dodging slams and frontal cone attacks. or using your immunities when you do fail. (like blink or disengage in tera those abilities make you immune for a second or two.)

    the truth is the only game exactly like wow, is wow.

    Honestly, by your analogy, all MMOs are alike :P
