I ain't kiddin'
I want to play ONE MMORPG that I can sink time into.
It has to:
1) Look good (so no Runescape shit)
2) Have a good combat system
3) Have a big, active community
4) Have shit to do with the active community (as in, it's not just a guild chatroom that you read while you do solo shit, you actually engage in group activities with other human beings)
5) Be free to play and not p2w (exceptions allowed if the game is so fucktastically good that it deserves the money, no monthly subscription shit tho)
6) Be fun and good.
Stuff I've tried:
Warframe - very nice, I got kinda bored with it because the game has stretches of time when you don't feel like you're progressing especially because of all the literal content gates between planets. I very often felt like the difficulty of the missions was either way too easy or way too hard.
TERA: Pretty ok but I really felt like the community engagement (doing shit with other people) wasn't really that big of a thing. I could potentially see myself getting back to the game though since playing my loli ninja was enjoyable. Perhaps, if the lategame is good enough to grind for, I'll revisit it.
Blade & Soul (Currently playing): I'm very early on, but I don't see much guild activity going on. Perhaps I'm not looking where I should be but I fear this might turn out to be a lame experience. Very nice combat system though, at least so far it's actually not that bad of a leveling experience.
GW2: Played back when it was Pay to Play. I gotta say, I really don't understand what all the rage was about with this one. The "dynamic combat system" wasn't that dynamic. The game felt slow and it was incredibly repetitive. The stupid platforming puzzles were annoying. I even played with my *real life friends* and got bored with it. I'm definitely not going back to this one since I hear you need to get the expac. to get the FULL EXPERIENCE
